A pair of 'standard pliers' would be used for this purpose. The idea is to make two 'cavites' in the ends of pliers' jaws. Just enough to let the hog-rings' elbows be placed inside. As the pliers are steel hardened the first step would be to untemper the ends of the pliers.
I have used the heat of a stove, but it would be faster if a torch is used instead. Becareful with the plastic covers if you want to preserve them. Let the pliers cool naturally. After having these ends unhardened it would be easier to drill in.
I have added a flexion spring that it is not really necessary if we cannot get one.
Nowadays, I am conscious most of these tools can be purchased from many upholstery suppliers or via internet from well known distributors. But, I am also aware there are still places where we can not get one.
Many years ago it was somehow difficult to get these pliers and the upholsterers were compelled to make their hog-ring pliers by themselves including the automotive hog-rings.
On the other hand, I would say there is such a kind of enjoyment when we make our own upholstery tools!
I hope you find some inspiration and usefulness in this video!
Cesar - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Ok I was super impressed by the pliers and then you made the grips! And then you made your own hog rings!!!!! Master at work here people!
Excellent video - the picture says 1000 words - no commentary needed. Well done!
The handle covers is the neatest trick. Sew a straight line then use that as a support for a hand stitched line. Brilliant.
Great instructions to make a long reach nose hog ring plier for hard to reach areas! And what if you run out of hog rings...you just proved you can make your own! Thx for sharing as usual, your videos are awesome!
Awesome!!! I already purchased a pair of hog ring pliers that came with hundreds of hog rings, but after watching your video I already know that I will never have to buy hog rings never again, being able to make them myself, and I can even modify a pair of pliers in case that the other one gets broken!
The idea of adapting a spring to the pliers is excellent, and getting it hot to work easily with it is awesome ;-)
I would say, it is a 'just in case' homemade tool. I would recommend to also make the homemade hog-rings if for some reason you run out of the good ones. Factory hog-rings are cheap and much better. I mean steel wire and has pointed ends to penetrate the material.
If you want some entertainment you could do one yourself.
Thanks so much for making this channel an interesting upholstery forum!
C'mon man. Hog rings are $2 a pound.

The hog ring pliers I bought on EBay were so small. Lol. Fit in palm of my hand. Thank you for videos
I would say this homemade tool is a 'just in case'.
You are welcome anytime!

Saved. The. Day. Thank you!
Very interesting and I would have never thought of making my own hog rings out of #12 gauge wire. Thanks for the show~!!!!!
It is a good way of entertain ourselves and arouse creativity.
You are welcome anytime!
Видно что человек с большой открытой душой, щедрый на знания. Это очень дорогого стоит!

Thanks for watching the video!
Muito bom o vídeo......farei um alicate desse para mim. Parabéns. City Bragança Paulista - Brazil
Excelente video
New to upholstering, so I really need a video where the person talks - not much - but where things are briefly explained.
Awesome video Cechaflo I subed to your channel. Was very helpful if I don't have a pair of these special hog ring pliers when I start the project on my 63' Chevy Nova I'll definitely use your great tip in making one and I'll make my own bag of those hog wire grips .Thank you and God bless 🙏💜
Hello, I am glad you have found some inspiration on this video!

I already worked in this field I learned a little more to perform this way the first time I see I will always enjoy your videos thanks for sharing your knowledge!
In fact, upholstery is a very enjoyable art!
no doubt! success more and more!
gracias por tan exelente video por fin encuentro lo k buscaba como hacer estas grapas Gracias Bendiciines
You are innovative
Best wishes for your future ideas
Waiting to see
WOW!!! THANK YOU!!!
Necessity is the mother of invention!!
I could say, it is a just in case. All of these upholstery tools have been already invented.
Thanks so much for watching this video!
To anneal the jaws, hear them to glowing red and keep it there for a while (longer the better). Then let cool SLOWLY. Put in sand or wrap with fiberglass mat. DO NOT quench in water.
Thanks for sharing useful information!
good job
yes, even making a pair of pliers involves some classy stitching :)
Leather wrapped pliers. Now that's hardcore.
Thanks for watching the video!
Didn't expect anything else!
More bl@@dy things to add to my To-Do list👏👍🤗
I like it!
I have used a drill on purpose as a simpler way, but if you would use a mototool things would turn out much better.
Thanks again, Geoff!
Brilliant
Custom leather, hand-stitched handle covers - what a guy!
Dear friend, Thanks so much for appreciating these upholstery videos!
You are very welcome to this channel anytime!
you are way too cool!!
Super
Excellent inventiveness! But I think I’ll buy some, should I need something specific I’ll come back to your great idea 💡 thanks 🙏🏼
It is only a 'just in case'. Besides, I did it to arouse creativity in my students. These tools are ready for sale on ebay, amazon, etc.

Hi! please how can I get an electric hog pliers?
I have never heard about 'electric hog ring pliers', sorry. I am going to do some search.
Perhaps, you're referring to 'pneumatic hog ring pliers'...if so:

Of course Cechaflo has leather wrapped hog ring pliers.
Hello Shain, Just an entertainment to relax myself!
Thank you very much for watching this video!
If you have leather then why not LOL . I'm going to make me some just in case hog ring pliers
Hi im a fan if the channel love it. You should make a video how u wrapped those pliers in leather
Exelente video ,muy buena idea.
Gracias por compartir sus valiosos conocimientos que son de gran ayuda.
Bendiciones para Ud. su familia y seres queridos
Tengo un vochito los asientos estan mal ,le quite el asiento trasero ,quite las grapas y varillas y la eche a remojar .
El asiento es como de espuma amarilla ,disculpeme no se de esto ,me gusta mucho la tapiceria tengo el tiempo para hacerlo
soy jubilado, este asiento como que se desmorono un poquito de las orillas .le pongo espuma ariiba y luego el forro de tela que eche a remojar
o asi lo dejo .ya hice las pinzas como indica Ud. si funcionan bien.
Reciba mi mayor reconocimiento por su gran trabajo,acompañado de un saludo afectuoso y un abrazo.
Su servidor Jose Juan Edo. Mex.
Como le va maestro. Mientras veía el tutorial, le iba a preguntar como conseguía los ganchos. Gracias por ser tan claro. Lo saluda Juan
Estimado Juan, Los ganchos/grapas acerados y puntiagudos los venden por kilos en la tienda de artículos de tapicería. Para la opción 'b' se puede conseguir un alambre como el del video (no es acerado) un poquito menos grueso para poder cortarlo con mas facilidad y hacer las grapas...no muy delgado porque ya no tendría el efecto de engrapar con cierta fuerza. Hace 40 años muchos de los tapiceros teníamos que hacer las grapas automotrices.
very good
Thanks for watching!
gracias
Excelente …!
¡Muchas gracias por apreciar este video!
Hace rato me preguntaba cómo tener esta herramienta, excelente video!!! gracias!
Si le es posible puede comprar esta herramienta en ebay. En este video simplemente he recreado una posibilidad para alguna persona que por algún motivo no pudiera comprarla. Pero si desea entretenerse y hacerlo Ud. mismo, adelante.

¡Le agradezco por ver estos videos!
Prefiero hacerla, mientras funcione. Vi el precio en Ebay y está cara. Gracias por la información. Saludos.
Muy buena decisión de su parte. No olvidar que es importante el destemplado de las puntas que se van a ranurar. Un soplete de acetileno funcionaría mejor para destemplar con mas exactitud solo el área que se va a taladrar con el fin de hacer las pequeñas cavidades. Después del calentamiento, es preferible dejarlo enfriar en forma natural al aire libre. Con una lima puede probar si la pequeña área quedó convertida en simple hierro dulce.
@@Cechaflo para templar es con un liquido frio y para destemplar dejarlo enfriar al aire normal no se si entendi bien
@@chentefarn En este caso lo que se trata es 'destemplar' las puntas donde vamos a hacer las ranuras. Al calentar. esa área, pierde sus propiedades de acero y se convierte en un simple 'hierro dulce' que se puede ranurar/perforar con facilidad. Después de calentar hay que dejarlo enfriar en forma natural para poder ranurar.
No es necesario volver a calentar para volverlo a 'templar' y convertirlo en acero otra vez ya que las grapas son muy suaves y no llegaría a deformarse las puntas.
¡Muchas gracias por ver el video!
Amazing! Do you know of a diy tool that could be made to use 1/8" aluminum wire like j-clips on wire cages? It's flexible wire (old power cable strands that I have a lot of).
Basically I want to wire fencing together very tight and without using a lot of extra wire.
Great
Crazy
The handle has a 2 wide of an opening. Might need a pair of pliers with straight handles.
Спасибо.
Thanks for appreciating this video!
Welcome to the channel anytime!
Please show us how do you make steel wire/listing wires for hog rings. Thanking you in advance.
From min four:44 to five:32 I show the steel wire for 'listing wires'. In case of not getting the steel wire, 'coat hangers' are also useful.

You are welcome anytime!
Why didn''t I see this video before buying a € 50 set of pliers and equally expensive hog rings???
How is the case with the professor and sewing giant and whether it is new
Thank you. What type of wire did you use to make your rings?
It is just 'wire Of Iron' (Non-Alloy Steel) ...a little thick (1.2 mm) it could be less, but no so much.
That is awesome - much too much work for the result - except the custom rings are a big improvement. I think I do appreciate how much a good pair will cost me though!
Good
Thanks for watching!
I need this pliers
Nice way to make custom hog-ring pliers but I would not have used a screwdriver to finish the work. A chisel would probably be better suited.
Thanks for watching and commenting the video!
You are right about chisel and of course I have different sizes. Perhaps, at that moment I wanted to transmit the idea of using any tool we have at hand.That screwdriver was a discarded and broken one.
بسیار عالیست
Thanks so much for appreciating this craft!
Supppper!!!
Thanks for watching the video!
mas que gracias!!
¡Siempre bienvenido a este canal!
BOAS DICAS ...
¡Muchas gracias por apreciar este video!
Cual calibre es el alambre para las grapas? Saludos desde melchor muzquiz coahuila mexico😎🙋♂️
Con el alambre galvanizado de 2 mm de grosor es suficiente para hacer uno mismo las grapas para los asientos de carro.
¡Muchas gracias por ver estos videos!
👍👍👍👍👍
What's the advantage here?

Thanks for kind remarks!

Zapraszamy do nas 🌹👍
Это то же нанотехнологии, только ихние.
Pobre destornillador!
Ese destornillador estaba roto y lo iba a tirar. Tengo cinceles en diferentes tamaños que podría haber utilizado, pero la idea que trato de transmitir es de aprender a reutilizar alguna herramienta que ya no nos sirva. Al igual las 'pinzas para engrapar' tengo varias que son baratas y fáciles de comprar en la actualidad, hasta por internet. Pero hay lugares donde se hace difícil conseguirlas. Solamente trato de dar ideas para hacer algunas cosas por nosotros mismos.
Muchas gracias por ver el video.
Cox gözel orgedirsiniz minnettaram sizden
Nossa, da até dor de barriga ver destruir uma ferramenta ( chave de fenda) pra fazer outra.
Porque não usa a ferramenta certa?
Ud. tiene razon la herramienta correcta sería un cincel acerado de punta angosta. En el taller tengo varios de diferentes medidas.
Preferí usar un desarmador roto que no servía y adaptarlo a manera de cincel para dar forma a la parte hueca. La idea es si no tenemos dinero para comprar la herramienta tratar de hacerlo por nosotros mismos con algo que tengamos al alcance de la mano.
I'm too lazy.
You can just dremel the pliers
Briliyant sar
Thanks for watching this video!
dah natamani sana kupata vtu vinavo nifa ndani ya kazi yangu kama hiyo mmilik tZ
use a dremel
You got to be kidding me ! ! ! ! ! !
Thanks for watching!
Не лучше чем наши рукожопы, отвертку ломают, вместо того чтоб использовать зубилу.
The main idea is the use of tools we would have at hand, I mean a broken screwdriver, drill, a hardened nail, etc.
I have in my shop different size chisels and I would have used one instead of the broken screwdriver. I also have a mototool I would have used instead of drilling. But, not all the people have appropriate or expensive tools to make a pair of simple hog-ring pliers.
Cechaflo good, thanks!
You are welcome anytime!
Для чего этот инструмент?
We're are u based really nice superb can u supply also .
I ma located in Mexico. I do not supply these items. I am just a retired upholsterer who post youtube videos to share some ideas.
@@Cechaflo superb nowdays there is a lot of demand for upholster people in india and abroad.i am based in India Chennai Tamil Nadu.having a small store of upholstery.in the name of choice seat zone .thanks anyways nice to hear from u.have a great day.
@@prakashdurgani6873 Hello Prakash, I understand now you are an upholstery suppliers. It is a great business. Perhaps you could buy some upholstery items on internet then resale them for customers.
Amazon is a good source to get different items. www.amazon.com/LEM-Products-Manual-Ring-Pliers/dp/B002L7WYUY
time + materials, it would be easier and cheaper to just go buy some.
You are right these tools are cheap. But, most of these videos are aimed to upholstery students and the reason for posting them is motivation to wake up creativity.
No entiendo por qué calentó el alicate.
Calenté la puntas del alicate para 'destemplar' esa zona acerada y poder taladrar con una broca normal. Con un soplete de acetileno funcionaría mucho mejor el destemplado. Después del calentamiento 'al rojo', hay que dejar que se enfríe solo.
Estas herramientas para colocar las grapas automotrices ya las venden listas por internet en Amazon o Ebay. Esta opción es solo en caso que no pudiéramos conseguir una de estas herramientas.
Não se usa chave de fenda como talhadeira
Ud. tiene razón. En ese momento no tenía un cincel pequeño para ampliar los orificios y tenía un desarmador roto que esmerilé y me sirvió a manera de cincel.
Cechaflo beautiful, practical craftsmanship in all you do. Thank you
I know in these times it is easy to buy a good one on Amazon or Ebay, but the main idea on this video is to arouse and inspire the creativity.
Thanks so much for watching!
Ok
انا مسرور بما أراه جدا
Thank you very much for watching these videos!
Its too risky !!! Dangares !!!
And why do you need this 😮????
This is an option just in case it is difficult to get a hog ring pliers. Most of the upholsterers in the past used to manufacture their own artisan tools. Besides, it makes the upholstery students put their minds into action.
Of course, nowadays it is much easier to get them on the internet.
