How do people open aluminium split rings? I have been useing a drill bit to do it,But sometimes they get damaged this way, Also when squasing them back on with my fingers some dont line up propley, And need to be cut off.I have ordered a ring aplicator last year,But was unable to attend the last sale for the year to pick it up,So if anyone has the contact details for the English gentleman who sells leg rings (imported from England) etc at the Vic sales,That would also be apreciated.Or someone who sells the aplicator aswell(Chapmans dont).

Ive been buying bits and pieces from Lentra via ebay ...good seller and fast too.

The aluminum split leg rings.....are they supposed to have a little "tag" at the side once they are on birds leg?
