DEWALT 11/16 in. Hog Ring Pliers Kit

The tool is exactly what I need. It took awhile to get it here but once I contacted Tractor Supply it got here quickly.

When I first started using these I was so excited about them. I had previously been using an old rusted pair of hog ringer pliers that I found in my basement, and prior to that I had the ones that were sent to me by a company I purchased some of my fencing through, those were a nightmare and caused a significant amount of pain in my hands after only a short time. I did not know that for $40 I could buy a new pair that would be a breeze to use and cut the amount of time it takes to repair fencing down to a fraction of what it was taking previously. I would have given 5 stars for sure, however, after a couple weeks I have some issues with this product that I think, if addressed, could make them a 5 star product. They are super awkward to use unless you are only using them for straight forward clamping of two wires... its kind of hard to explain but the fact that the clamps come out the way they do is a poor design and can cause issues depending on what your project is. The other issues is how many rings are wasted due to the design of the pliers, but that is an issue with all. hog ringerers I have used. So they are extremely easy to use, I love that it does not hurt my hands at all! And other than that they have the same issues as other ones I have used. I think they are a solid 4 stars and would buy again.

Dewalt made a horrible tool. They feel like they're bending and breaking in your hands. It frequently fails to eject the next ring, and it doesn't easily fit properly into the fencing spaces. We bought a pneumatic one under a different brand and it made things super easy.

Works fine for a one time job…rings get stuck frequently. Loading is not that easy. I needed it for one job of closing off a chicken run from varmints….made it thru the job but not something to use every day IMO

Easy to use. Would recommend.

The pliers work perfectly. I was expecting thicker hog rings. This is for LIGHT duty only(rings)

These are designed to work on small gauge wires. Such as 14-22 gauge (chicken wire, hardware cloth) and fabric. And light duty projects. It will not work attaching small gauge to larger gauge wires. The size of the head makes it impossible to get into the 1/2x1/2 or smaller hardware cloth unless you are attached a side panel to a top panel (90° angle). Small animal cages, chicken wire for pens and upholstery work. Works great on chicken wire regardless. As far as sharp points, these are designed to create a wraparound ⭕️ circle. The points come together so they are not able to catch on anything or cause harm to animals or fowl The wire is thin gauge and if not applied properly will pull apart. For what it is designed for, this works great. Loading the wire can be tricky, but so can loading a heavy duty stapler. The staple will stick together if the staples are not applied properly in the completed circle ⭕️ . Overall, it has its uses, though limited.

Makes the job way easier

Was Backordered extremely too long of a time

Works great, saves time

I've wasted a good 30% of my rings because the alignment of the individual ring (as the cartridge feeds along) allows the staple to pop loose and either fall out completely or twist and jam when you close the jaws. I'd the ring stays in place, the finished work is good. Otherwise, you're fighting to get the jammed ring out of the pliers. Also, the tab that is supposed to retain the strip inside the magazine pops loose and the magazine springs open, dropping your strip of rings onto the ground. Very poor product to have the DeWalt name attached to it. Disappointed.

These pliers can be effective with practice but waste 50-75% of the staples due to improper feeding. I wish they were more reliable.

They never closed properly. 6 months later not even working a little

Work great for building cages.

Easy to reload. Had to learn how to use these for the application I am using them in, but it makes the job I am doing a hundred times easier and faster.

What I needed for project using hardware cloth

Perfect for my needs

I found the pliers and hog rings easy to use and to load. Used in car seat upholstery repair and for sausage casings use. It would be nice if it also had access to a smaller ring

My husband bought this to build our chicken coop and it works great

Works great awesome price quick delivery

Quality tool from a trusted brand. Can’t go wrong.

Works good for splicing chicken wire together. A little difficult to load the new rings. The plunger doesn't want to disengage from the latch easily.

They work as intended but I have only used them for one project.

The only way I can get this to work, is to turn the sharp end of the staples toward my face, and get close to the stapler to make sure that the pig fence wires are between the stapler's prongs, and then squeeze the stapler's grips to close the staple ring around the wires. Even then it works about 1/2 the time. I wind up picking staples out of the grass in an attempt to avoid metal poisoning (domestic ducks and geese).

Loving my hog ring dewalt tool works perfectly for the project I’m working with

I knew this tool existed, I just didn’t know what it was called! Now that I know, it’s been perfect for securing my rabbit enclosure and chicken coop and run.

These pliers work great, when DeWalt is the brand, I know I can trust the quality.

Well made product by a reputable company. Easy to hold and use.

Could not even get it to load correctly, much less function as pliers to squeeze hog rings. Like any of you, I do not have time to go through the hassle of returning things when I need the tool now. I won't be able to keep myself from resenting the work time I lose as I drive to a store, wait in line, then wait 3-5 days for the refund to appear-you know the drill.
