I bought these pliers to re-cover the seat on my 1966 C-10 pickup. After reading many blogs and "how-to's", it became evident that the pliers that are included with the hog-ring kits are not very easy to work with. Boy, am I glad I spent the bucks for these instead of using the puny little kit-pliers. It made the job a breeze.Do yourself a favor and pick up these pliers......your hands will thank you.
