C.S. Osborne 1440-A Straight Hog-Ring Pliers, No Spring
When to choose it
The 1440-A suits an open approach to the ring when you want to move the jaws yourself in both directions. The handles align with the grooved jaws and have vinyl covers. Place your hand where it will approach the seat attachment to judge whether the straight shape gives you a clear path.
If you need the jaws biased together while you place a ring, the 1440-AC keeps the same straight shape and adds a closing spring. Compare the bent 1440-BC only when changing the approach also helps. The exact ring for your seat remains a separate check.

Questions about this product
Will the jaws reopen when I release my grip?
This version has no spring. Compare the straight 1440-AO if you specifically want an opening spring.
Is the 1440-AC a different jaw approach?
Both are straight models. The AC adds a closing spring.
What if the joint sits behind a seat rail?
Compare a bent or curved model against the space around the rail before choosing by spring type.
