Hog Ring Pliers Tool

Does anyone have a set of these pliers to redue the seat covers. I'm willing to purchase them.

Thanks.

Funny thing is that I always check the US first since I tend to purchase there if I can. Never thought of purchasing them local. I thought maybe someone had a set.

I may be able to help, I have access to the hand pliers as well as an air hog ring tool. Let me know when you need them and for how long and I will see what I can do.

I appreciate the offer harrin but I was hoping on purchasing them, since I'd like to keep them after I'm finish.

I have a pair of hog ring pliers, as well as the tool for pulling the wires through the seat covers that you can borrow.

I already have the puller in the picture below, but the hog ring pliers broke, I was going to replace them rather than borrow one. Thanks for the offer though.

I did a search and I have to tell ya Mo, you've used that phrase "get you off your fat a$$ and WORKING ON THAT CAR!! " several times in the last couple of months. Are you trying to tell me I need to loose some weight? I maybe (a year and a half) older that you..............yes you heard that right everyone, but I can still whoop your skinny ***.

Thanks for the info Aamir, for some reason in the last month, every time I want to open up the PA flyer it asks me to download some program, I did but it went back to the flyer page again. I repeated the process several time only to bring me back again. While searching for my Avatar, I found PA flyers in some folder I didn't recognize. You think I could find that folder again.............NOT!........Ok so I'm not quit a PC guru.

In a nutshell, I can't get the PA flyer online anymore.
