The Pneumatic tool has been developed to eliminate the constant, repetitious motion associated with the common cleco plier. It also adds speed and efficiency to the installation and removal of cleco fasteners. This tool is ideal for kit builders, mechanics and aircraft production assemblers.

Best tool I own! Installing and removing clecos is easy, doing it a thousand times is another story. I should have bought this tool years ago! A swivel connection to the pneumatic line would be a nice improvement.
I love this tool. Consider if you do mostly horizontal or vertical work though. You may consider one of the pistol-grip variants. I find this perfect on the bench top but havent done a lot of vertical work yet. The tool is sturdy and should last forever (made of aluminum). Pros: Easy to actuate. Easy to set on the cleco (once you get a feel for it). Paint finish has a texture so that it is easy to keep a good loose/comfortable grip - no strain on the hands. Cons: The included 1/4 elbow is restrictive...should be a 360 swivel in my opinion. Also would like to see better care instructions. Im not sure if it should be oiled, or greased, or what. Assuming oil for now. :)
Outstanding after installing 10,000 cleco,s Easy on the hands
Great tool but activation plunger sticks partially open.
This will fit drill sizes, 1/4", #2, #10, #20, #30, #40 and 1/16". The Cleco styles that this tool will work with are the MM, ML, M and MHD type. This tool can also work with the side grip type that has a reach of 1/2" or 1".
