Troubleshooting

Hog ring not closing properly

Ensure the wire diameter is within the 2mm-8mm range and is correctly positioned within the pliers. Verify that you are using the correct hog ring size (Vr16) for your fence pliers (FP20/FP216).

Hog rings jamming in the pliers

Check for any bent or damaged hog rings. Ensure the pliers are clean and free of debris. Refer to the fence plier manual for proper loading procedures.
