Also, what size is best because I don't want to get the wrong size and the clips not fit. Thanks Last edited by Buck77; 02/21/19 10:27 AM. www.tennesseewildlifecontrol.com

What little I've done mostly fix what cages I've purchased from others, I've used hog rings. They also make a little metal clip just for connecting wire. At least I've seen them never used one.

Kluberstanz sells them by the pound also they have pointed and blunt the blunts can be a pain when the tips hang up but they don't have the sharp points. The speed (air gun) rings are too light IMO and as you lose them the holding power is at risk, I got some cages on a trade and had 2 different of the air rings panels fail this year. Guessing J-hooks = "Rabbit cage clips" many options at Kluberstanz.com they work well on the long seam where the wires meet to form the square after wrapping around the frame. On a 1X2 wire I put a clip in every other opening on the 1X1 row they come in extra long . Last edited by Law Dog; 02/21/19 10:48 AM. Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

These cage building devices are called PEN rings and J clips If your building cage traps out of 16 or 14 gauge wire I would go with the 5/16ths J clips. These will close tighter then the 3/8ths J clips. I believe if your building them out of heavier wire then your going to have to go with the Pen rigs. Of coarse what ever your going to use you should buy the correct tool to close them. Do a Google search. www.klubertanz.com Or call them at 1-800-237-3899 these people have all the gear you may need and will help you out with any questions you may have.
