SL 106 Cage Clamp Plier

Product Overview

The SL-106 cage clamp plier is a hand fastening tool designed to close C-type cage rings around wire mesh in poultry houses, rabbit farms and small livestock pens. It grips a pre-formed ring, compresses it into a closed loop and pulls the two wire ends tight against the cage wire, so panels and doors stay rigid after assembly. The tool is shown in two handle versions, one with blue grips measuring about 18 cm overall and one with orange grips measuring about 17 cm, so buyers can match the handle colour they already use on site.

Built around a steel head and a coil spring that opens the jaws after each squeeze, the clamp lets one worker ring dozens of joints per minute without a separate hammer or wire twister. The lower return spring keeps both handles together when not in use and speeds up repeated fastening. It is commonly paired with galvanized cage nails or C-rings sold separately, and fits most standard ring sizes used in layer cages, broiler battery cages and rearing cages. The whole operation is quiet, requires no power supply and can be carried around the shed in a tool belt.

Key Features and Benefits

• Two handle options - blue-grip version about 18 cm and orange-grip version about 17 cm, covering different hand sizes and warehouse colour coding.
• Steel jaw and pivot - the head is made of steel to resist spreading under repeated ring closing pressure.
• Spring return action - a coil spring between the handles opens the jaws automatically after each press, speeding up repetitive work.
• Non-slip dipped grips - coloured plastic handles give a firm hold when hands are slightly damp in a barn environment.
• Lightweight balance - the blue version weighs about 319 g and the orange version about 143 g, reducing hand fatigue during long installation runs.
• C-ring compatible - works with standard galvanized cage nails and M-type or C-type rings used in mesh cage assembly.

Materials and Quality

The head, pivot pin and return spring are made of steel chosen for repeated compression work, while the handles are covered in coloured plastic dip for grip and comfort. The tool is inspected before shipment so that the jaw alignment, spring tension and handle fixing are all in working order. No soft plastic parts are used in the jaw, because the contact point needs to stay firm against the ring under pressure. The zinc-plated steel surface helps protect against light rust in a humid farm building, and the dipped handles are wiped clean easily after a day of installation work.

How to Use and Maintain

Load one C-type cage ring into the jaw, place the jaw over the crossed wires at a cage joint, and squeeze the handles until the ring closes tight. Release and the spring opens the jaws for the next ring. Wipe the tool clean after use, keep the pivot lightly oiled, and store it in a dry toolbox away from damp feed dust. If the jaw becomes loose, check the pivot screw and tighten it rather than forcing the tool. Over long periods of heavy use, the return spring can be replaced if it loses tension.

Applications

This cage clamp is used wherever welded wire mesh cages are built or repaired, including layer farms, broiler battery houses, pullet rearing sheds and rabbit or small livestock pens. It is also handy for fixing feed trough brackets, door hinges and mesh partitions during routine maintenance.

Distributors and installation teams buy it as a hand tool to go with cage nails and ring staples. Mixed orders can combine the blue and orange handle versions, and export packaging keeps the steel heads protected during sea freight. It is a standard line item for any farm equipment supplier stocking cage building kits, and it ships well as a small accessory added to a larger cage order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Which ring size does this clamp take?

It is designed for standard C-type or M-type galvanized cage nails and rings commonly used in poultry mesh cages. Please confirm the ring diameter against your local nails before ordering in bulk.

Q2: What is the difference between the blue and orange versions?

The two are the same tool type with different handle colours and lengths, about 18 cm for the blue version and about 17 cm for the orange one. Weight also differs, about 319 g versus about 143 g.

Q3: Can it be used on chicken wire as well as welded mesh?

It is intended for closing rings at cage joints on welded mesh and similar wire cages. For very thin wire, test on a small area first to avoid over-compressing the ring.

Q4: Do you supply the cage rings together with the plier?

Yes, galvanized C-type and M-type cage nails are available separately and can be combined in the same shipment. Contact us with your quantity for a packing and shipping quote.
