I bought these pliers to re-cover the seat on my 1966 C-10 pickup. After reading many blogs and "how-to's", it became evident that the pliers that are included with the hog-ring kits are not very easy to work with. Boy, am I glad I spent the bucks for these instead of using the puny little kit-pliers. It made the job a breeze.

Do yourself a favor and pick up these pliers......your hands will thank you.

I was happy with quality of this tool. The spring that keeps tension on the ring is handy. The only problem I had was the Seymore pig rings I also ordered were a fraction of an inch too large to fit the pliers. I just crimped them down a little and it worked fine. That would get old for someone planning on doing more than one set of seats.

Great for automotive upholstery. The spring loaded feature in the hog ring pliers harnesses the hog ring until you're to clamp down.

I have never used hog ring pliers before. But these are very high quality pliers. Professional grade as youd expect with KD. I've never used the "straight" version but seeing how difficult the angles are with upholstery (I bought these to install seat heaters on my car) the 45 degree angles pliers seem like a no-brainer versus the standard straight unit. The spring-tension works great for holding hog rings. I bought Honda hogrings and the size was perfect. KD tools never disappoint.

Ony needed these for a small project ( adding heated seats to my new car ), but they worked well. I'm sure I could have done it with regular pliers and a rubberband ( to keep the tension ), but I prefer to use the correct tool whenever possible,
