Hog ring pliers question
-
The old set of manual hog ring pliers I have works well with 3/8 or 1/2 inch rings. Usually use the smaller size for most purposes.

Kind of related… never tried summer sausage yet besides laying flat can you hang the with the ring on top so nothing runs out or do they have to hang ring down?

If the ring is applied correctly, that is, with enough compression, then it does not matter if it is up or down on sausages that are hung in a smoker.
Note that most casings come with a string crimped to one end for hanging and the other end left open for filling.

PapaSop I have same issue so I give the casing a spin and then double it up and then staple.

Yup, I do the same, otherwise I need to use another set of pliers to finish the job.

Guarantee you will love it!! Not sure here, but I always assumed the original use was hog wire fencing???
caryfr5 On the farm we put rings in pig noses to keep them from rooting under fences
The high pitch squealing when wrestling and holding them down for my dad is probably the reason I have never been able to hear very well. -

I found it on amazon but always try to buy locally if I can. The funny thing was that in all the negative reviews people were saying doesn’t work well for fencing. I was thinking what did they expect. So you must be right.

Does anyone have an update on the bostitch auto pliers? Bought mine last year from Waltons and they dont work worth a hoot on meat bags. Do they work on casings? I got these to replace a real POS pair that never worked right. Seems like a pattern to me… I thought a bostitch pair would be better. Maybe I just need to break out the tape machine again.

smokinbubba A few weeks ago Jonathon made a video advertising a new pair of pliers, they were actually sitting on the table during the entire livestream yesterday.

HerbcoFood I saw those. They don’t look at all as robust as the bostitch pair I bought from them last year tho.
