Klinch it tool

If you do not have a klinch it tool how would you recommend reairing springs? Tieing? I found one but the cost was way more than what I wanted to pay.

Most upholstery "purists" would say that tying is the only acceptable method.

But here is the way that I did it before I got my Klinch-it tool (scroll up to the 3:20 mark):

I agree, the cost of a new Klinch-it tool is hard to justify. If I hadn't acquired a used one for almost nothing, I'd still be doing it the other way.

The hog ring method is perfect for quick repair jobs (when you're only replacing the rotted webbing from the bottom).

I tie them. PITA for sure. Takes about 1/2 hour on a sofa compared to about 8 minutes with a Klinch-it  tool. What is the cost of a new one? I'm not even sure where to get one.

There are used Klinch it tools available. I found mine on ebay I believe and it came with a mostly full box of clips. The clips are expensive also. But they do a nice job.

A new Klinch-it tool and a box of clips will set you back about $350+shipping.

Like Paul says, keep checking E-bay for a used one.

Klinch-it tool is the way I would go if one is going to be in this business. 

I used mine on two jobs today and it is so efficient. 

How to we say it.........Time is Money!

Otherwise, yes tie, would be my alternative, but it is slower.

Good luck,
