Troubleshooting

Pliers not gripping hog rings effectively

Ensure the correct size hog rings are being used. Check the jaws for debris or damage that might be preventing a secure grip. Clean and lubricate the pivot point.

Hog rings not closing completely

Verify you are using the correct type and size of hog ring for the application and pliers. Ensure full pressure is applied to the handles. Check for any obstructions in the jaws.

Handles feel stiff or difficult to operate

Clean the pivot area thoroughly and apply a light machine oil or lubricant to the joint. Work the handles back and forth to distribute the lubricant.
