Hog Ring Pliers, Where to get them.

I am looking for a local place that I can pick up some hog ring pliers. Does anyone know of a place in Orange County, Ca that stocks them? I really dont want to have to order them online.

Thanks

 

my ace hardware has them...home depot??

 

Believe it or not I found a pair at the local ACE HARDWARE store in town ( Minnesota) maybe we got more HOGS here than California........

8 bucks

 

most fabic distributers should have them,, i got mine from "fabric depot" but that was in AZ.. worst case try a local upholstery shop, but i gaurantee they mark up the price. straight ones are under 10$ ,angles i think i got for under 15$

 

Eastwood

 

Tractor Supply Company has them ...and the rings

Might be able to get them online from them too.

 

There's a place in Riverside called J&J Auto Interior supply,or something like that.

 

dont know if you have this store but (farm n fleet) they have them

 

That was going to be my suggestion as well. They are after all actually produced and most commonly used for putting rings in hogs, and pigs, and sheep, and cows, etc. The rings themselves come in different sizes, depending on the animal they were intended for. Hogs just have a convenient size for upholstery work. Farm & Fleet is a strictly midwest store, while TSC is more wide spread.

 

The China surplus store(HF) has them.I got mine from a local upolstery shop.Oh and I recommend getting the angled ones, for me they're easier to use in the tighter spots.

 

McMaster-Carr, if they don't have it you don't need it.

I like the KD Tools Hog Ring Pliers 45 Degree (KDT3704). Sold at sears and most auto stores.
Do yourself a favor and get the spring loaded ones, keeps the ring from falling out, approx , one for =$17, two diff types for=$32 ....H

 

home depot usally has them but there by the chainlink fence stuff

 

Cool thanks

 

I got mine from J&J which I thought it was in Rialto. Either way they are good guys and great prices....

 

I ended up finding some at ACE. They had 3 sizes of rings too!

 

Even though you found them, for anyone else reading this thread, the local feed and livestock store will have them as well.

Yup, I bought mine (pliers & rings) locally from an outfit called Halford Hide, a butchers supply outfit.
