You get a different type for fencing...almost like a stapler that you put hog ring cartridges in...and the hog rings are round when crimped not triangular...
If you have time,could you take a few photo's for me,please?

Red with white stitching...would you not be worried about the stitching getting dirty?

I have seen red with black stitching which looks good...but white...I am not convinced...
