GL Fast Pneumatic Hog Ring Tool

The high-volume workhorse for any operation that closes rings by the thousands. Hook it to your air line and it sets a tight, uniform ring as fast as you can position the work — no hand fatigue, no slowdown over a full shift. This is the same commercial-grade tool we run on our own factory floor, day in and day out.

We carry two models to match the ring size you're working with. 

3/4" Tool  — For 3/4", 15 gauge SS hog rings. The workhorse for lobster trap, wire mesh and oyster bag assembly. Compatible with bright, galvanized, and stainless steel rings in both sharp and blunt points. Closure diameter accommodates wire bundles from 5/16" to 27/64".  For our applications, we only use blunt-end stainless steel clips.

1/2" Tool  — For 1/2", 16 gauge SS hog rings. Ideal for finer meshwork, netting, and lighter-gauge applications. Available in galvanized, galfan, aluminum, and stainless steel rings. Tight closure head fits bundles as small as 1/8".  For our applications, we only use blunt-end stainless steel clips.

Built for production across trades:

• Aquaculture & trap building — Oyster cages, bags, lobster and fish traps, and gear production.
• Boat & marine upholstery — Fasten cushions, seat covers, and vinyl to frames at production speed.
• Bedding & furniture — Assemble innerspring units, box springs, and upholstered seating on high-count runs where the air tool pays for itself.
• Gabion baskets & erosion control — Join gabion mesh fast on large jobs, with a consistent crimp that holds under load.
• Fencing & netting — Hang welded wire, chain link, and deer, poultry, or aviary netting across long runs without wearing out your hand.

Air supply: continuous 80–90 PSI required for both models.
