These hog ring pliers are the smallest I've ever seen at 13cm total length. For an average hand size they're fiddly. A consequence of their length is a lack of leverage and the requirement for them to be opened wide to accept the hog rings supplied. The rivet at the pivot point of the plier is very small and flimsy. A simple screw and nut would be stronger and not expensive They do have a slim tip and the correct curvature to allow the ring to form properly when squeezed. The curved hollow to capture the ring initially is well formed to allow maneuverability, without slippage. The 150 hog rings supplied were ample for my task and each ring used perfect. Given these were sent via Express Post they offered decent value for money when shipping cost is deducted. For auto trimming work by the DIY restorer, it's effective in most aspects. A longer handle and stronger pivot fastener would improve the product considerably.
