C.S. Osborne 1440-BC Bent Closing-Spring Hog-Ring Pliers
When to choose it
Compare the 1440-BC when a seat rail or frame makes it awkward to bring straight handles in line with the ring. The bent handle changes where your hand sits relative to the joint. Its closing spring biases the jaws together for positioning a ring before crimping it.
If there is a straight path to the attachment, compare the 1440-AC to keep the closing spring while changing the approach. If you want the same bent family with the jaws biased apart, compare the 1440-BO. Confirm the ring you need separately from the handle suffix.

Questions about this product
How does the bent version help if the ring sits beside a rail?
It changes the position of your hand relative to the ring. Hold the seat in its work position to see whether that shape gives you more room.
Which straight tool keeps the closing spring?
Osborne lists the 1440-AC as the straight closing-spring version.
What does the BO suffix change?
The 1440-BO also has a bent handle and uses an opening spring instead of a closing spring.
