Wire Clip Pliers

Wire enclosures come apart at the clips, and a loose or missing clip leaves a panel sagging. These pliers are made for the job. They close ferrule-type clips around wire, so the panel goes back together tight and stays that way. The heavy-gauge metal handles the work, and the comfort-grip handles give you a steady hold while you close each clip.

Built for rabbit hutches, pet homes and other wire cages, the plier turns a fiddly repair into a quick one. The handles are plastic-covered for comfort, and the tool is simple enough to keep with your cage repair supplies so it is ready when a panel needs attention.

Why a dedicated plier for wire clips

General pliers can close a clip, but they tend to crush or mark it and slip off the wire. A plier designed for ferrule-type clips grips the clip the right way and closes it with the force it needs. The result is a cleaner connection and fewer clips that have to be done over.

It is for anyone who builds or fixes wire enclosures: a family with rabbits, a small animal breeder, a hobbyist putting together a set of hutches, or a homestead that keeps small animal cages for kids' projects. If you only need one tool for the job, this is the one, because a panel that comes apart in the middle of a repair is the moment you'll be glad you have it.

How to use it

1. Place a Pet Lodge ACC1 Wire Cage Clip in the jaws of the pliers.
2. Hold the wires together where the clip goes, and position the clip around them.
3. Close the pliers firmly until the clip closes around the wires.
4. Check each clip with a gentle pull on the panel, and close any loose clip again.

Good to know

• Keep a pair with your cage repair supplies so the right tool is ready when a panel needs attention.
• The ACC1 clips are sold separately, so buy a spare set when you buy the pliers.
• Keep the pliers dry and out of the weather so the handles stay in good shape.
• Pair the pliers with a good wire cutter for panel repairs.
