Review on 🔧 Hog Ring Pliers Kit for Auto Upholstery and More – Perfect Tool for Bungee/Shock Cords, Pet Cages, Bagging, Traps, Sausage Casing, Meat Bags, Fencing, Railing (Rings Not Included) by Joe Kokenge

I used this with 3/8" hog rings and 1/4" punch line. When I try to crimp (make a loop) the rings with 2 pieces of bungee cord, they don't crimp properly about 80% of the time, so I have to change the position and crimp 2 or 3 more times. Takes a lot of time. Even though they are spring loaded, the rivet was too tight and you would have to fight the rivet's resistance to open it and then it wouldn't close. I used some petroleum jelly and a liquid wrench and ran the pliers about 100 times and I was able to "grind in" and now they open up pretty well but still don't clamp properly. As someone else said, the plastic handle covers slip off instantly so I didn't use them because the tool would rotate if I tried to use it. d probably take another brand.
