@CoalBlackRain here-- I found it on a bunnyrabbit com cagequip under clips

it's down at the bottom of the page-- they have electric and also some that I can't see a cord, but kine pricey-- looks like hand saver tho. hands are so nice to keep nice, strong and not forever sore

I think it's called a j-clip plier

I am looking all over trying to find just the hand grip ones, and how to get the right clips for rabbit carrier building

@C3Traps, Not sure what its called, but it curles staples around the wire mesh. Sort of like a staple gun but it curles them around the wire, not just push them in.
