Hey Guys,

I'm planning on redoing the seats in my truck and I need to find some hog ring pliers.

Any Canadians out there know where I can find these elusive pliers?

Thanks!
Zeke

Hog rings are a major pain in the fingers. I stopped using them a while back and now use zip strips. Easy, safe and can find them any place.
Just a thought

Have you tried a farm supply store. I got mine and the hog rings at Tractor Supply Co.

Like Cletis said, I got mine for 3$ at the local feed store. You do know what hog rings are for right?

your local upholstery shop should be able to supply them and the hog rings, Your local FLAPS or Mac/Snap on dealer carry them also....

Hello,
If you have not purchased the hog ring pliers I can help you out at my store. I have a complete upholstery shop, and can supply you with the hog rings, pliers, etc. Go to the link section and look at A Glass Enterprise Or online at aglassenterprise.com
