Hog rings Rapid Tools 40108811, green, plastic-coated steel, pack of 1390

Rapid Tools hog rings 40108811 are green, plastic-coated rings manufactured from galvanized steel and supplied in a pack of 1390 pieces. These hog rings are designed to be used with compatible hog ring pliers and function as fasteners for upholstery, fencing, garden netting, and other applications where a corrosion-resistant, mechanically crimped joint is required. The plastic coating reduces metal-to-metal contact and provides a visual finish while the galvanized steel core offers strength and basic corrosion protection.

Advantages

The plastic-coated galvanized-steel construction combines mechanical strength with improved resistance to rust compared with bare steel rings. Supplied in a large pack of 1390 pieces, these hog rings are suitable for repetitive manual tasks and reduce the need for frequent restocking. Their green coating is intended to blend with outdoor fencing and garden materials and to give a cleaner appearance on visible joins.

Suitable for

• Upholstery work such as securing fabric or padding to frames
• Fencing repairs and assembly, including wire mesh and chain link
• Attaching garden netting, plant support ties, and landscape fabric
• Temporary or permanent joins where mechanical crimping is acceptable

When it may not be suitable

These hog rings are intended for manual installation with compatible hog ring pliers and are not suitable for use with automatic or high‑speed production machines that require different sizes or feed systems. The plastic coating and galvanized core provide basic corrosion resistance but are not intended for long‑term immersion in highly corrosive environments such as seawater without additional protection.

Key specifications

• Material: Galvanized (zinc‑coated) steel core with green plastic coating
• Finish: Green plastic coating over galvanized steel
• Quantity: 1390 pieces per pack
• Intended use: Manual crimping with compatible hog ring pliers

How to use

Select hog ring pliers that are compatible with the ring size. Position the ring around the items to be joined, place the ring into the plier jaws, and squeeze the handles firmly to crimp the ring closed. For upholstery, work methodically along the edge to maintain even tension; for fencing, ensure each crimp fully closes around the wire to secure the joint. Wear eye protection and gloves when installing to reduce the risk of injury from sharp wire ends or flying debris.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility of ring diameter and profile with your hog ring pliers
• Assess whether the green plastic finish matches the intended visual or environmental requirements
• Consider whether galvanized coating is sufficient for the expected exposure to moisture or corrosive conditions

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate hand tools rated for these rings, perform test crimps on scrap material to confirm fit, and store the pack in a dry place to preserve the plastic coating and galvanized protection.
