Troubleshooting
Fastener does not close fully
Check that the tool is centered over the ring and ensure that the air pressure (if pneumatic) is set to the correct PSI.
Ring deforms or bends during installation
Ensure you are using the correct size for your application and that the tool jaws are not misaligned or damaged.
Fastener jams in the tool magazine
Clear the jam by removing the magazine, checking for bent fasteners, and ensuring the spring-loaded pusher is operating smoothly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, always pair these fasteners with a compatible 16-gauge hog ring tool. Before beginning your project, test the ring closure on a scrap piece of material to ensure the points overlap correctly without shearing the fabric or wire. While the galvanized coating provides excellent moisture protection, store the remaining fasteners in a dry, cool environment to prevent premature oxidation. When loading your tool, ensure the strip is oriented correctly in the magazine to prevent jams; if using a pneumatic tool, ensure your air pressure is calibrated to the manufacturer's recommendation for the material thickness you are fastening.
