Rapid FP222 Fence Pliers for VR22 Fence Hogrings

Firstly I ordered this on the 16th and it was here on the morning of the 18th fantastic delivery speed! The tool is simple and with that comes useful simplicity. I purchased the P222 with the galvanised VR22 hog rings in addition to the tool as it does not come with any. The tool loaded with ease and the grips for delivering the pinch for the ring were comfortable I crimped over 150 hog ties in around 15 minutes leaving me feeling satisfied with the job it had just completed and baffled that I could have spent a day doing the same job by hand. I purchased the tool to help me complete the construction of a chicken run by hog tying the anti fox skirt to the bottom run of chicken wire. The chicken wire was 20mm so the holes were very small for fitting the tool in but holding it on the angle I found it managed to easily catch both wires and hog ring them, the rings were loose on the two wires but securely holding the two wire sections together. So it did the job perfectly. The only thing i did not like was the safety catch on the bottom got in the way sometimes whilst trying to close hog rings, so I popped it off, and re secured it at the end of the job.

Great FP222 pliers for clipping a chain link fence to the tension wires. Unfortunately I stretched the chain link a bit tight which made clipping more difficult than necessary but job done. Bought with the FP20 pliers which proved essential for tightening about 25% of the hog rings. When using check which side has the metal guide and use the guide to press the chain link onto the tension wire. Working in bays between the posts. Clip the bottom wire first. Then the top wire which stretches the chain link up and finally the middle wire. Clipping every 4th link gives a nice tight fence.

We put up a 6 foot tall, 200 foot long chainlink fence this year and probably would have given up if not for this super tool. It saved our hands, our time and our sanity. We bought the 1000 pack of hogtie rings to go with these pliers and used all of them, so I can definitely say the pliers are good for 1000 applications and they look good for many more. Definitely recommend.

Easy to use and well worth the price. Good for a new installation or just fixing older fences / netting. Simple to use and would recommend having to hand to save a lot of bother with loose wires!

What rabbit proof fence?! ........ They jump over it, climb up it, bite through it so what is the point...... well, it keeps most of them out and I humanely trap and re-locate the sneaky ones. Years ago I spent hours cleating the fine mesh 'rabbit proof' fence to the tensioned wire one... and it was fiddly back-hurting work and now those plastic cleats are just breaking with age/weathering so after happening upon a professional fencer using one of these i thought it too good to be true.... Its not... yeh... it is true...they are fantastic, even low down on the fence where the grass has grown up they clip through the foliage. After a bit of practice I can fit one of the galvanized staples (they fit in the Rapid like staple and end up doubling over like the ring of a key ring) in secounds. So five stars all the way for a product that's well made , comfortable to use and such a time saver. ....I will have more uses for it other than the fence..... for starters a fruit cage is now in the planning.

Honestly this little contraption is a god send. It’s absolutely amazing and has saved me so much time. Works perfectly. I’m building a massive project with Gabion stone filled cages and have used this to build the cages and secure them to each other. Makes the job easy. Strong. And very neat. Amazing tool. So glad I bought it.

Perfect, exact tool I needed for the job. Must have put more than 5000 hog clips on now and still works as good as new. I would recommend taking the little clip off that holds them in the closed position as this sometimes would clip in to place when in use and became annoying.

For the most part they are ok however they do have a tendency to jam or miss the hog ring altogether, They are easy to load .

Parfait

Ottimo attrezzo

Cet outil est vraiment génial. Il permet d'attacher les fils de tension, les barbelés, aux grillages très facilement et très rapidement. Énorme gain de temps et d'efforts.

Eines der besten Hilfsmittel die ich kenne. Meine Frau und ich haben 60m Maschendrahtzaun ( 1,25 m hoch) in knapp 2 Stunden problemlos und ohne Anstrengung montiert. Am oberen Spanndraht wurde jede 3. Masche mit den Ringen befestigt, in der Mitte ca. 1 Ring pro Meter und unten ca. 1 Ring pro 0,5mm angebracht. Der Zaun ist absolut sicher und glatt damit befestigt Die Zange formt die Ringe absolut zuverlässig und ist dabei leichtgängig. Die Griffe liegen gut in der Hand und sind auch für Linkshänder angenehm zu bedienen. Der Zaun ist absolut sicher und glatt befestigt. Mein Nachbar will sich die Zange auf alle Fälle bei mir ausleihen wenn er mal wieder einen Zaun erstellen muß.

Es genial, al principio hasta q no te acostumbras puede parecer q el porta grapas estorba pero cuando le pillas el truco es ideal y acabas rapidisimo. Muy práctica. Por decir algo negativo pense en devolverla pq se gasto rapido el mango pero funciona perfecto
