Plier Operated Cleco Fasteners

Plier operated cleco fasteners. The plier-operated sheet holder clamp is the standard temporary fastener solution. These spring-loaded and steel bodied fasteners are dedicated to light clamping forces (no more than 25 lbs.) and are a simple, plier-actuated, inexpensive, alternative to competitive fasteners. Cleco fasteners are color coded for easy identification.

A cleco fastener (also spelled cleko), also known as a skin pin, is a fastener developed by the Cleveland Pneumatic Tool Company. Cleco fasteners are widely used in the manufacture and repair of aluminum-skinned aircraft and in automotive repair, where it is used to temporarily fasten multiple sheets of material together before the pieces are permanently joined.
