LEM Products Manual Hog Ring Pliers

I agree with previous comment. 3/8" & 1/2" hog rings do not close tight enough on 2mm bags. Furthermore, groove is not deep enough, which makes it hard to place & keep hog rings in proper position. Slows down work flow tremendously.

I have pretty wimpy hands when trying to use tools like pliers so the stiffness of these out of the box is not very desirable but I'm sure with use and maybe a little WD40 they should loosen up. Made in USA, which is a plus, the tips of the pliers come together evenly which has not been the case with some foreign-made hog ring pliers I've seen. Overall, a good product and fairly priced if you have Prime shipping.

They Work

well there is not much to say about these hog ring pliers they do work very good. I use 3/8" hog rings to seal the ends on sausage casings and these pliers clamp the rings on very tight. I'm happy with them but I found out you can get the pliers with hog rings right from LEM for $10.99 the reason I bought them on amazon is because I need the right away. these pliers are well made and should last a very long time.

This pliers works ok for the little use it is going to get. It suited my applications. But if your are going to use hog rings on a regular basis, I would spend the extra money on a better cast set. They work, but the casting is not the best. Definately looks like they were cast in China.
