A tool (10, 10a) for securing items together closes C-rings (74) to create hog rings (106). A drive mechanism allows the tool be used continuously for a greater length of time than heretofore possible without inserting a new string of C-rings. The drive mechanism utilizes one-way clutch bearings (92) to provide a ratchet-like mechanism. Each time a trigger (108) on the tool is pulled, a C-ring (74) is closed and another C-ring (74) is advanced to a position in which it may be closed by the same jaws (32, 34). A pneumatic system moves a piston (98) inside a cylinder (16) to move the C-rings (74) along a magazine (50, 50a) towards the jaws (32, 34). |
