Hog Ring Pliers... where from?

Anybody got a source for a pair of hog ring pliers?

A mate is asking and so far he's only found some for between £20-30 and thinks that's pricey.

Ta.

I know Frost sell them but Frost prices tend not to be the cheapest.

I may be being rasher, but I think they're something to do with ham-mers

I'll hold my hand up and say I don't know either. I looked at the picture in the link and they just look like a pair of Fisher Price pliers.
They look a swine to use!

They are used for closing hog rings

in upholstery.

Thanks guys.

I knew I could rely on a couple of sane answers plus a couple of hundred others.

Ok, so I eggzaggerate... it's no yoke though!
