72 • JANUARY 2012 • WORLD FENCE NEWS Malco auto-feed hog ring pliers save install time and effort Designed to address the most stringent regulatory codes, Malco's commercial grade hog ring installation system features rugged Hog Ring Pli- ers No. HRP5 with Auto-Feed Maga- zine to ensure uninterrupted operation. The tool is designed to allow quick installation of Malco 9-ga. (3.8 mm) collated aluminum hog rings or exclusive 9-ga. collated steel rings anywhere along a chain link fence. Long handles save time and effort with plenty of leverage and reach. The pliers' symmetrical magazine accepts a 25-count loading strip of collated hog rings and a plunger feed au- tomatically sets up each ring. There is no need to manu- ally rotate the magazine away and clear of the fence to set the ring since the clinching mech- anism brings the hog ring forward of the pliers' nose to easily capture and secure heavy 7-ga. (4.5 mm) tension wire to 9-ga. fencing. The unique overlap clinch design of Malco's 9-gauge rings produces a stronger connection unmatched by any other hog ring, the company stated. Malco 9-ga. collated aluminum rings, No. HRA5, are manufactured of a weather-resistant 6061-T94 or 5052- H38 alloy. Exclusive Malco 9-ga. gal- vanized steel rings, No. HRS5, feature a thick, weather-resistant Class 3 coat- ing per ASTM A641. Use the Malco hog ring pliers and a 500-pack of Malco 9-ga. hog rings to secure 1,000 lineal feet (305 m) of ten- sion wire in a fraction of the time re- quired by other installation methods. When the job is done, the pliers' magazine folds down for safe and easy storage. Log on to www.malcotools.com to see a video of Malco's 9-ga. hog rings and pliers in action.

After all, a fence job is only com- pleted after the final payment clears the bank.
