No offense, but why would you want a pneumatic hog ring gun? If you were going to make mattresses, or upholster car seats 8 hours a day for a living it might make sense, but I doubt that is the case.

First of all, something like that will sell for at least $500 used, and then you will have to buy the collated hog rings to fit in the gun. You will have to buy at least a 15 lb. case of collated hog rings which will cost you $45.00, so before you crimp your first hog ring you will have $550.00 invested. Not to mention, if you jammed the gun up, how much would it cost you to repair it, because you wouldn't be able to fix it yourself. I have been doing car seats for over 30 years, and I will guarantee you I haven't spent $150 for hog rings and hog ring pliers in all that time.
