304 Stainless Steel Loose Hog Rings — Standard 14 Gauge — Blunt Tip Sizes 3/8″, 1/2″, 3/4″, 1″. Sold loose in 1, 5, 10, and 25 pound quantities. Approximate pieces per pound: 3/8″ – 690 1/2″ – 600 3/4″ – 400 1″ – 320 Our standard hog ring, and the one most trap and cage builders reach for. Marine-grade 304 stainless holds up in wet, salty, and outdoor conditions without rusting, which is why it's the right ring for gear that lives in the water — lobster and crab traps, oyster cages and bags, bungee terminations, predator netting. Fourteen-gauge wire gives you a stronger crimp and more holding power than a 15G ring, at the cost of a little more hand effort to close. The blunt tip closes clean without tearing mesh or cutting your hands. Set them with hand pliers for repairs and small runs, or load a pneumatic hog ring gun for high-volume production. Add our blue-handled stainless hog ring pliers below — they work rings from 3/8″ through 1″. 14G or 15G — which one? Reach for 14-gauge on wire mesh, trap and cage assembly, heavier netting, and anywhere the joint carries load. Step down to 15-gauge for lighter fabrics, finer mesh, and high-count production runs where you want easier closing and more rings to the pound.
