Default Auto upholstery tools?

Has anybody got the right tools to deal with Hog rings, or whatever they are called in Auto upholstery?

Stiff ass piece of C chaped steel used to hold reinforced upholstery edges to the metal seat structure. Also used for chain link fence, etc.

And yes, you never know what you might have gotten with a google search. "define: hog ring" might have been safe.

Actually, a google for "hog ring" turned up nothing but the hardware and tools.

. . . at least on the first page. I was only brave enough to go that far.
