Hog rings Rapid Tools VR22, grey, pack of 1100

Rapid Tools VR22 hog rings in grey are plastic-coated fastening rings designed to join wire, mesh and other materials for fencing and general garden or agricultural use. The rings combine a galvanized steel core with a grey PET coating to provide corrosion resistance while maintaining firm clamping of high-tension wires and netting.

Advantages

The grey PET coating increases resistance to rust compared with plain galvanized rings while keeping a discreet, neutral appearance. With a closing diameter that accommodates 5–11 mm wire, these hog rings suit a range of common fencing and cage-fixing tasks. Supplied as a pack of 1100 pieces, the set provides a ready quantity for repairs and repetitive fastening jobs.

Suitable for

• Attaching high-tension wire or netting to fencing posts
• Securing cages and animal enclosures
• Protecting and fastening young plants with mesh guards
• General garden and agricultural repairs requiring durable ring fastenings

When it may not be suitable

These hog rings are intended for use with wire or netting between 5 and 11 mm in diameter; they should not be used on wire outside that range as the closure may not be secure. They are not a decorative trim solution — the PET coating is functional and the rings are designed primarily for durability and corrosion resistance rather than aesthetic finish.

Key specifications

• Closing diameter: 5–11 mm
• Core material: galvanized steel
• Coating: grey PET (plastic)
• Contents: 1100 pieces per pack

How to use

Position a hog ring around the elements to be joined (wire, mesh or fabric) and close it using an appropriate hog ring plier or stapling tool designed for VR22 rings. Ensure the ring fully encircles the materials before compressing to achieve a firm, secure closure. For long runs, space rings at regular intervals to maintain even tension and check closures periodically for corrosion or loosening.

What to consider before purchase

• Diameter of the wire or netting to ensure it falls within 5–11 mm
• Required quantity — pack contains 1100 rings
• Compatibility with your hog ring pliers or stapling tool (supports VR22 type rings)
• Preferred finish — grey PET coating for neutral appearance and corrosion resistance

Usage recommendations

Use purpose-built hog ring pliers or a compatible stapling tool for VR22 rings to ensure safe, complete closures. For outdoor installations, check closures periodically and replace any rings that show significant wear or coating damage to maintain fence integrity.
