Today we begin learning about the tools I use daily. What is a Cleco? A Cleco is a spring-loaded fastener used to temporarily hold two pieces of sheetmetal together until they can be permanently joined together. Usually they will be riveted or bolted together with precision fasteners but more lately they could be joined by a bonding process. But I mostly rivet the pieces together. Thus... the cleco. Named for the manufacturer. They really are quite handy.
Some of the places where you can get some are http://www.yardstore.com/ , http://www.spenro.com/ , http://www.aircraft-tool.com/ , http://www.browntool.com/ , or http://www.toolsforaircraft.com/ There are more places even on http://www.ebay.com/ as well. I hope you enjoyed this little tidbit on Cleco's.
