Where can the good J clip crimpers/pliers be purchased?

[leadwolf1]

what's the difference? I've used the j rings with great success in the past. I am trying to find an easier way to put hardware cloth, 2 ft, on the my regular fencing to keep the chickens from sticking their heads through. I wired my other run with my fingers and pliers...about killed me!!!

After my J-ring pliers failed, I just used my old, trusty lineman's pliers. They might not all be perfect, but they are tight. I should have worn gloves as my hands are shredded right now.

The TSC pliers suck, they bent on the first jclip and I had to use my fence plyers to finish crimping every clip and straiten the j-clip plyers. I've been searching for a good pair of jclip plyers. The ones listed on amizon add another $7 to your order unless you order $60 or more. those are nice plyers but I found the same ones at http://www.cutlersupply.com/cart/in...id=579&zenid=11db3862578240f4f948ee38bda82eec for $13.90 and reasonable shipping. comes to $21.65 with shipping..... odd... I have a lot of tools around the farm but I've never spent over $20 for a pair of pliers... sheesh!

Amazon's price is 13.49 + 7.00 shipping, Cutler is 13.90 + 8.15 shipping... ?????

I just bought a pair yesterday to build my new quail house. They BENT on my second try and didn't clamp the wire worth you-know-what.....Back to TSC they go, and I'm off to amazon!

Can you use the hog ring pliers with the j clips? Or are you switching to hog rings?

I have searched and searched, but can't find a source. We've been working with a terrible pair from Tractor Supply -- the only they had -- and they're shot. I've read that there is a padded pair available.

I have the same pare that you have so I know they do suck i'm going to be getting these http://www.greatnortherncageco.com/...-pliers-heavy-duty-with-cushioned-handle.html
