Clecos are like an extra set of hands - you will use these often


The Cleco system is a re-usable spring loaded fastener, basically serving as an easy-to-use temporary rivet. They will pull together two or more layers with a total thickness up to 1/4" thick - that's impressive!

Often referred to as a removable panel fastener or Cleco pin, they're a very helpful tool for a fabricator and priceless.


Clecos provide fast and positive positioning!


When satisfactory final fit up is achieved, the drilled pilot hole may be either plug welded, riveted or drilled larger to the appropriate size for a finished mounting bolt, Dzus type button or Cam lock fastener.


How do Clecos work?

 

Pro-werks Cleco spring loaded fasteners are very easy to use; grab the special Cleco pliers simply insert the expanding end in to a pre-drilled pilot hole of the material to be held, and release to accurately position the panel - it's now held tight and on location.
