Anyone know of a local store you can get hog rings at? I need 6-10 more to finish up a seat I been working on and I can't seem to find them anywhere. I've looked at NAPA, Autozone, Advance, Home Depot, Lowes, etc. and keep coming up empty handed. I know I can order them from Eastwood, but I'd really rather just get them local so I don't have to keep waiting.

Tom,
If no success finding them locally, I've got quite a few extras. PM me your address and I'll get 'em right out to 'ya.
Probably have them Wed...:thumbsup:
Or, I'm sure East Coast Chevelles would carry them.

PM Sent, Thanks Bill!!

Tom,
Have you checked with any local upholstery places ? That would have been my first stop.

I got some at my local ace hardware, they were a little different but worked. Or reuse a few old ones to finish. gary

I checked a few fabric and upholstery shops around here, but they didn't have anything for auto upholstery.

I can't use any of the old ones because they are totally rusted and most of them snapped.

I did some searching, but apparently you have no farms around that area. I get my hogrings at Tractor Supply stores. According to their website, you don't have any out there.

THere's one of those in Vineland...about 15-20 minutes from here. I never thought of checking there. Thanks Dave :thumbsup:

Dude, if you don't get hooked up let me know I'll send you some :)

This is the size that I use. http://www.tractorsupply.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay_10551_10001_28476_-1______?rFlag=true&cFlag=1

On a Sunday even, WoW! :thumbsup:

Darn, I am a little late...

I have a whole box left. I bought a box of 5000 used about 200...

Anyone want me to do their seats?

Got mine at tractor supply along with the hog ring tool. :thumbsup:

OK, you guys have got me curious now. Why would a tractor supply store have hogrings?

Do farmers use 'em to repair fence or something?

No but they do have a lot of seats that get abused!

:yes:
Most of the Post Offices, at least in this area, have machines in the lobby that weigh packages and print mailing labels along with an attached container to mail your package. These machines also sell stamps.
Open 24/7.
I keep a variety of USPS Priority boxes here at home which the Post Office will supply free of charge and can be ordered online.

City boys, sheesh.:rolleyes:

Hog rings are put through a hog's nose to keep them from rooting under the fence. Hogs can do a lot of digging with their noses. The ring pulls on the tender tissue of the septum and makes their nose hurt when they root, so they stop doing it. Different sizes for different size hogs, small ones when they're piglets, larger ones when they grow up.

Speaking of that....I sent my cousin to get hog rings last summer. He went to a hardware store and they gave him actual hog rings to put on a hog's nose after he told them it was for an automobile seat. I opened the box and was like WTF is this.

Like Bill says, they come in different sizes. They probably figured at the store that you were working on a Mopar, you needed extra-large ones... :D

Probably Dave, use 'em to hold the whole car together, LOL

City boys, sheesh.:rolleyes:


I resemble that remark. :D ;)

I may be a lot of things, but I ain't no city boy. :noway:
