Hog ring pliers?
I just got a new seat cover from board member Truckseats. It is for my 67' and is very nicely made and heavy material. It did not come with any installation instructions or tools, so can someone recomend me a decent set of hog ring pliers? I am not looking to break the bank and will not be opening up an upholstry shop, but may do another seat or two down the road.
I will update this thread with pictures in a couple weeks when I start the project, Thanks

Re: Hog ring pliers?
Try HomeDepot thats where I got mine seem to work good. Avoid Harbor Freight hog ring pliers absolute junk they dont even work on their own hog rings they sell.

Re: Hog ring pliers?
Try Ebay. I have a set like this from Eastwood. Angled set are better for tight spots.

Found them on an end cap with the hog rings in the tool department.
