Richard Perez Wins our Pliers Giveaway

November 23, 2016 By Nadeem Muaddi

The Hog Ring - Richard Perez Wins our Knipex Pliers Giveaway

Congratulations to Richard Perez of R.P. Interiors, Inc. in Horseheads, New York, for winning our Knipex hog ring pliers giveaway!

We were overwhelmed by the number of trimmers who entered the contest by tagging #TheHogRing in photos of their pliers on Instagram and Facebook. To keep things fair, we placed everyone’s name in a bowl and picked out one lucky winner.
