Just found some in my deceased dad's shop and was like wtf are these, almost pitched them but figured they were removable to do something . I'll keep them now and it's another tool to the arsenal. Thanks for info.
I've always wanted to know what these were and what they were called. I've seen them used in aircraft manufacture and thought they were some sort of rivet insertion tool, but now I know. Thanks for sharing. 😉👌🏼
I've been wanting to get some of these forever and I finally just ordered some from you, can't wait to use them on my quarter panel skin! Hopefully less magnets and vice grip clamps for this job! Thank you
...also with hex bodies, threaded shaft, with a wing nut to tighten them. Extra drawing together power...especially if you use vise grips to tighten the wingnut...👍 Tighten till it strips, then back it off a quarter turn🤣 ...also extra long reach... 💪😎👍
Cleco's are great tools. I have also used wedgelocks those are for a more secure hold down. Go to your local aircraft surplus stores they will have them.
If you use the Clekos all the time can you recommend a good manufacturer of these? Which are you all using? I would want good quality ones. Ones that last.
Interesting. Imperial sizes in an engineering sector that has used the metric system for decades. I don't have any imperial drill-bits for creating holes for these.
Boeing uses these building the airplanes people fly in. I don’t think people would be so content riding in a fuckin airplane if they could see how they’re made. I’ve been building planes for ten years for Boeing. I will never fly. I’d much rather build race cars
