you can buy cheaper ones but these hog ring pliers work really well.
if your not familiar with these they are used to semi-permenantly install upolstery like new seat covers on your seats.

The first time I rebuilt seat I was very worried ID screw it up royaly, so I did what any reasonable hot rodder would do, I ask around and found someone with at least some experiance to help me thru and guide me, truthfully it was not at all difficult and the apprehension was unwarranted, the only tools really needed most guys might not have is sharp exacto knife and the three hog ring pliers and pound of hog rings and a big set of dikes / side cutters, to cut loose the orriginal hog rings, and some contact cement

these look like crap, but surprisingly work rather well and are dirt cheap,

BTW when you eventually break some little P.I.T.A. piece of the interior ...these guys usually have replacements at a good price
