I know it has been discussed in the past, searched, nothing under hog, lots under ring (ring gear mostly)
I am doing some seat work, I will end up removing 2-3 sets of seat covers.
I need to get a pair of cheap (not proffessional quality) hog ring pliers and some rings real fast.
Auto parts stores don't have it.

I work at Ace Hardware I know for sure we have the pliers, couldn't tell you for sure on the rings though.

If I get desperate enough I'll reuse the ones I removed.
I'd rather do it right, I will have to do a few seat cover swaps, having the right tool will help, problem is I don't have the time to order out of town and wait a few days.
