Who sells a good set of hog ring pliers ?? Are the Eastwood ones any good ?? I would like a good set that will last. Also do you need the pulling pliers to do seat covers ??Im gonna try to do the rear seats of my Challenger.

I only use the hog ring pliers when doing it. I have no problem with the cheap set we have at work. I work for a used car dealer and we have to remove seat covers alot to wash them. You can pick them up on ebay for as little as ten dollars. Eastwoods is likely to be better. Try legendary also. Tod

The spring loaded hog ring pliers are much easier to use than the standard type.
It helps to hold the ring in the pliers when you dive in the foam to hook the rings.

They also make a cutter for removing old rings which works way better than a set of side cutters. These came from Miami Products here in town.

Should be able to get both the pliers and cutters from your local fabric store. I did. Just like the ones pictured above.

I bought mine at the local farm and ranch outlet. Dirt cheap and have been used on 3 sets of seats so far. Spring loaded also.

Bought my pliers at the local NAPA store. They look just like the ones previously pictured. I didn't use any stretchers to install my seat covers. If the covers seem small, use a hair dryer to warm the cover up and it will stretch a little better.
