FAQ
Do I need hog ring pliers to close hog rings?
Yes, because hog ring pliers have a specific notch set in the top and bottom of the plier jaws. The hog rings fit into this notch. Once placed inside the notched groove the hog ring can easily be placed at the point of desire and closed secure.
Can regular pliers close hog rings?
Maybe 1 or 2 consistently, but it will take several tries of placement with the hog ring before any success of actually placing and closing down on the hog ring.
IN SUMMARY: Yes, if you only have a few to do - but be careful & patient!
