Title: New toy
Post by: sofadoc on March 13, 2013, 02:15:36 pm
Being a furniture guy, I don't do that much hog ringing. So having this tool wasn't exactly a "must", but when a  guy walked in and offered me the gun, and a full case of magazine clip hog rings for 25 bucks, I couldn't resist:

I was afraid that the gun wouldn't get into tight places........but it actually does. I've been just going around hog ringing the crap out of everything :D

That is really cool; I didn't even know they existed. Personally I would have spent up to $39.95 for it's alter-ego---The machine that takes them out, even if it didn't come with a garbage can. ;D

I thought the same thing, Chris. Subcontract out to the local tattoo parlor.

The head of that thing looks like one of those big ant type insects that has the big pincher on it's head. It has that same quick action when it bites you.

Is the serial number scratched off in case the local pokey comes in with a list of stolen items?

That could come in handy when boys come around wanting to date my daughter!

The tricky part is luring the boy within reach of your air hose. I just hide the gun underneath a pizza. :D
