The KYA SC-760 Pneumatic Hog Ring Plier is an air-powered fastening tool designed for gabion net production, network structure fastening, wire mesh and cage assembly. The current KYA specification identifies hog rings with a 16.9mm crown, 1.6mm thickness and a 3.3–4mm closure diameter.
The SC-760 has a published net weight of 1.2kg / 2.64 lbs and a 125-ring magazine capacity. The tool uses a high-strength alloy-steel muzzle, rubber comfort grip and an auto-feed magazine for repetitive hog-ring fastening.
When selecting replacement hog rings, match the complete fastener geometry rather than the SC760 model name alone. Crown measurement, ring thickness, open profile, closed diameter, strip collation and magazine geometry can differ between manufacturers.

Dimension note: the current SC-760 page contains conflicting tool-length data. The top summary displays 34mm × 90mm × 80mm, while the detailed specification table displays 340mm × 90mm × 80mm. The detailed value is used above, but the current production drawing should be confirmed before publishing the dimensions in structured product data.
The current SC-760 specification is centered on a 16.9mm crown and 1.6mm ring thickness. These dimensions are key parameters when identifying a replacement hog-ring strip for the tool.
Comparable industrial systems commonly describe this general fastener class as a C-style hog ring, but dimensional terminology varies between manufacturers. For that reason, KYA SC-760 replacement rings should be selected using the actual ring dimensions and strip geometry rather than a generic gauge or model-family description.
KYA publishes a 3.3–4mm closure diameter for the SC-760 hog-ring system. This is an important matching parameter because tools within the same general hog-ring size class can be designed for different finished closure diameters.
When replacing another tool or ring, provide the existing open-ring dimensions and required final closure. Do not qualify a replacement only because both products are described as SC760-type or 1.6mm hog-ring systems.
The SC-760 has a published 125-piece load capacity. Its magazine automatically feeds the collated hog rings toward the fastening head as rings are installed.
Magazine capacity varies between competing tools in the same market. Capacity alone does not determine fastener compatibility; strip length, ring spacing, ring profile and feed-track geometry must also match.
SC760 is used in the industrial fastening market as a model-family reference, but current manufacturers do not always describe hog-ring dimensions using the same measurement points. A shared model name therefore should not be treated as automatic proof of interchangeability.
| Reference Tool | Published Fastener / Tool Data | Matching Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| KYA SC-760 | 16.9mm crown, 1.6mm ring thickness, 3.3–4mm closure, 125-ring capacity | Primary specification for this product page |
| VIM HR1630W | 16.9mm crown, 1.6mm shank, 9mm fastener height, 3.0mm minimum closure, 130-ring capacity | Very similar dimensional class; the manufacturer identifies Stanley Bostitch Spenax SC760 and MEIHO MC-660 as equivalents for its own tool |
| Stanley Bostitch SC760B-E | Current Bostitch data uses RING516 terminology with 13.4mm crown, 9mm opened size and 140-ring maximum capacity | Different measurement terminology demonstrates why the model name alone should not be used to confirm KYA compatibility |
Cross-reference rule: when replacing a Stanley Bostitch SC760, MEIHO MC-660 or another similar tool, provide both the existing tool model and the current hog-ring part number. Confirm crown / opening dimensions, wire thickness, fastener height, closure diameter and strip configuration before substitution.
KYA's current 516G100 hog-ring page lists SC760 among its fitting-tool references and describes that fastener family as a 1.6mm C-style hog ring. However, the SC-760 tool page itself does not identify one specific 516-series part number.
For purchasing, use the SC-760 tool-page dimensions as the primary specification and confirm the exact ring part number, point style, material and strip format required for the application.

The current KYA specification identifies the SC-760 muzzle material as high-strength alloy steel. The muzzle is the working area that positions and closes the hog ring around the material being fastened.
Because ring closure depends on the interaction between the hog ring and the tool nose, replacement rings should match the specified geometry rather than being selected only by nominal wire thickness.
The SC-760 product page describes a balanced tool structure and a rubber-wrapped handle. The published net weight is 1.2kg / 2.64 lbs.
These are physical design features of the tool. The current page does not publish a quantified productivity or fatigue-reduction test, so no numerical ergonomic-performance claim is assigned to them.
Gabion net production is a primary application identified on the current SC-760 page. The tool is used to close compatible hog rings around wire components during gabion and mesh assembly.
KYA also specifies the SC-760 for network structure fastening where the wire combination can be accommodated by the published hog-ring and closure geometry.
Wire mesh assembly is listed on the current page. Before production use, verify the mesh-wire diameter and joint geometry against the required closed hog-ring size.
The current KYA application list also includes cage assembly. Ring material, point configuration and environmental exposure should be evaluated separately when selecting the corresponding fastener.
Construction and landscaping reinforcement are listed on the current SC-760 page as additional application areas. The page does not publish structural load values, so suitability for load-rated reinforcement must be determined from the applicable project specification.
| Parameter | SC-760 Reference | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Tool Model | SC-760 / KYA-SC-760 | Start with the exact tool rather than a generic hog-ring plier description |
| Published Crown | 16.9mm | Open-ring geometry must fit the nose and the application joint |
| Ring Thickness | 1.6mm | Wire thickness affects magazine fit and closing geometry |
| Closure Diameter | 3.3–4mm | The finished ring must suit the wire bundle or material being fastened |
| Strip Collation | Confirm against the current SC-760 magazine | Ring spacing and strip construction must feed correctly through the magazine |
| Ring Profile | Confirm the current fastener drawing | Different C-ring and D-ring geometries are not interchangeable |
| Ring Material | Select according to the required fastener specification | Material and coating requirements vary with application and environmental exposure |
KYA currently lists both SC-760 and SC-7C within its hog-ring tool range, but they use different published hog-ring dimensions. They should not be treated as the same tool simply because both are used for gabion, fencing and mesh applications.
| Specification | SC-760 | SC-7C |
|---|---|---|
| Tool Type | Pneumatic hog ring plier | Separate KYA hog ring plier model |
| Published Ring Crown | 16.9mm | 23.7mm on the current SC-7C page |
| Published Ring Thickness | 1.6mm | 1.8mm on the current SC-7C page |
| Closure | 3.3–4mm | 7.0mm on the current SC-7C page |
| Interchangeable Rings? | No assumption should be made. Their published hog-ring dimensions differ. | |

The SC-760 is a pneumatic hog ring plier from KYA designed for gabion net, network structure, wire mesh and cage fastening applications.
The current product page identifies the tool as KYA-SC-760.
The current KYA SC-760 specification lists a 16.9mm hog-ring crown.
The current product page specifies 1.6mm hog-ring thickness.
KYA publishes a 3.3–4mm closure diameter for the SC-760 system.
The current KYA specification lists a 125-piece magazine capacity.
The published net weight is 1.2kg / 2.64 lbs.
The detailed KYA specification lists 340 × 90 × 80mm. The top summary on the same current page displays 34 × 90 × 80mm, so the current production drawing should be checked before using the dimensions in technical documentation or structured data.
The current SC-760 page identifies the muzzle material as high-strength alloy steel.
The current detailed specification identifies the SC-760 as a pneumatic hog ring plier.
The current KYA SC-760 product page does not publish an operating-pressure range. Do not copy the PSI value from another SC760-type pneumatic tool; confirm the applicable KYA operating specification before use.
Comparable 16.9mm × 1.6mm industrial systems use C-style hog rings, and KYA's related 516-series fastener pages list SC760 as a fitting-tool reference. The current SC-760 tool page itself specifies the metric ring dimensions rather than one exact C-ring part number, so confirm the required ring profile when ordering.
KYA's current 516G100 product page lists SC760 among its fitting-tool references. Because the SC-760 tool page does not itself identify 516G100 as the only approved fastener, confirm the exact ring dimensions, point style and strip geometry before purchasing replacement rings.
Do not assume complete tool or fastener interchangeability from the model name. Current competitor sources use different dimension conventions and magazine specifications. Compare the existing ring part number, crown or opening dimensions, ring thickness, closure and strip geometry before substitution.
The HR1630W is published in a very similar market class with a 16.9mm crown, 1.6mm wire and 3.0mm minimum closure. This similarity is useful for cross-reference research, but it does not by itself establish direct KYA fastener or replacement-part compatibility.
The current KYA page lists gabion net production, network structure fastening, wire mesh and cage assembly as primary applications.
Gabion net production is specifically listed on the current product page. Confirm that the mesh-wire combination fits the published 16.9mm ring and 3.3–4mm closure requirement.
Yes. Wire mesh and cage assembly are listed among the current KYA applications. Ring material and closure should be matched to the actual cage-wire dimensions and environment.
They should not be assumed interchangeable. KYA currently publishes 16.9mm crown, 1.6mm thickness and 3.3–4mm closure for SC-760, while SC-7C is published with larger 23.7mm crown and 1.8mm ring dimensions.
Provide the SC-760 tool model together with the current ring part number or drawing. Verify crown or opening dimensions, 1.6mm thickness, required 3.3–4mm closure, ring profile and strip collation before replacement use.
