I am going to be in the process of recovering my rear bench seat soon and I need to purchase a semi-decent set of hog ring pliers to do this.

I have a set of Legendary covers on order and have the seats torn down. I was very careful tearing them down and took a bunch pictures to help me remember how they go together.

Can anybody here recommend a set of pliers? I see Eastwood has their brand but I see kinda cruddy reviews on them. Anybody here have a good set they can recommend I purchase?

This may seem kind of elementary to some but I see a ton of different types of these pliers and sizes of these rings.

On a related note, I have the "netting" that goes between the foam and the steel frame and it has these thin rusty wires woven through it. How would I go about cleaning that up without destroying the netting?
