The Rapid FP222 Fence Pliers are a heavy‑duty, efficient tool designed for demanding garden or fencing tasks, especially for attaching thicker wire netting or chain link fencing. They use VR22 hog rings (5‑11 mm), and feature a high‑capacity magazine which lets you work more continuously with fewer interruptions. The pliers have an ergonomic soft‑grip handle and a handle‑lock for comfortable extended use and safe, compact storage. They’re built from durable materials (ABS reinforced with glass fibre) and come with a 2‑year guarantee. In kits, often 200 hog rings are included, enabling you to start right away. Overall, they enhance speed, comfort and reliability when doing fencing jobs.
Once you have a Rapid Fastener you will find many uses for it. Here are some of the most common:
Fixing wire netting to fence frames or wires
If you have wire mesh, chicken wire, or other types of netting, the FP222 lets you quickly attach the mesh to supporting fence wires or metal frames using hog rings. This is much faster and more secure than twisting wires manually.
Agricultural and garden fencing
Useful in farm settings for fencing off areas (pens, livestock), repairing boundary fences, or garden enclosures. Also for things like vine trellises or tying up nets
Wire cage manufacturing or repairs
When making cages or repairing wire-based structures (e.g. aviaries, cages for small animals), hog rings are often used; the FP222 helps speed up the process.
Securing plant protection netting
Attaching bird netting, insect mesh, or shading nets to support wires, poles, or frames.
Vine and trellis support
Fastening wires or meshes that support climbing plants like grapes, cucumbers, peas, or beans.
