MRO Tools 3/16” Cleco Fastener 20PC Kit with Cleco Pliers Description

MRO Tools 3/16” Cleco Fastener 20PC Kit with Cleco Pliers KR1S20-3/16

This Cleco set comes with a durable, polyester zippered carry bag (6” H x 8.5” W)

The Plier-Operated (K) Series Cleco Fastener is the standard temporary fastener solution. These spring-loaded and steel bodied fasteners are dedicated to light clamping forces (No more than 25lbs.) and are a simple, plier-actuated, inexpensive, alternative to competitive fasteners.

The cleco fastener (sometimes spelled cleko), also known as a skin pin, is a fastener that was originally 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 they are used to temporarily fasten multiple sheets of material together before the pieces are permanently joined.

Cleco Pliers

Cleco Pliers are specially designed for installing spring-loaded temporary fasteners. A specially designed ”body seat” holds the fastener in place while the plunger is depressed. These nickel-plated or black-oxide coated pliers are constructed of forged steel, thus resisting wear, abuse, and corrosion.

Additional Cleco Fastener Information

Using Cleco Fasteners

Using Plier-Operated Cleco Fasteners is a straightforward process that involves a few simple steps. Here’s a guide on how to use Plier-Operated Cleco Fasteners effectively:

Materials Needed:

Plier-Operated Cleco Fasteners
Cleco Pliers
Sheet metal or material to be fastened

Step 1: Prepare the Materials
Ensure that the sheet metal or material you intend to fasten is clean and free of any debris or contaminants. This will help ensure a secure and reliable grip.

Step 2: Determine the Fastener Placement
Identify the areas where the fasteners need to be placed for temporary fastening. Consider the alignment, positioning, and number of fasteners required for the specific application.

Step 3: Insert the Plier-Operated Cleco Fastener
Take a Plier-Operated Cleco Fastener and hold it in one hand. With the other hand, insert the fastener into the desired location on the sheet metal. Make sure the fastener’s body aligns with the holes or edges to be fastened.

Step 4: Apply Pressure
Using the Cleco Pliers, grip the exposed sleeve or body of the Cleco Fastener firmly. Apply pressure to the pliers to compress the fastener’s internal mechanism, allowing the fastener’s pins to extend and grip the material securely.

Step 5: Repeat the Process
Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to insert and secure additional Cleco Fasteners as needed. Place the fasteners at regular intervals along the area to be fastened, ensuring even distribution for optimal alignment and stability.

Step 6: Verify Alignment
Check the alignment and positioning of the sheet metal or material. Make any necessary adjustments before proceeding with further assembly or repair work.

Step 7: Fastening Completion
Once the temporary fastening is complete, you can proceed with additional assembly, welding, or other necessary operations. The Cleco Fasteners will hold the sheets securely in place until they are permanently joined.

Step 8: Removal of Cleco Fasteners
To remove the Cleco Fasteners, simply reverse the process. Use the Cleco Pliers to compress the fastener’s internal mechanism, retracting the pins and releasing the grip on the material. Gently remove the fasteners from the sheet metal.

Note: It’s essential to exercise caution while handling sheet metal or material with Cleco Fasteners, as the exposed pins can cause injury if mishandled. Ensure proper training and adhere to safety guidelines while using Cleco Fasteners.

By following these steps, you can effectively use Plier-Operated Cleco Fasteners to achieve temporary and secure fastening of sheet metal or materials, facilitating accurate assembly, repairs, or other necessary operations.
