Cleco Plier and Pin Kit with 1/8in Pins

The Cleco Plier and Pin Kit with 1/8in Pins from ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE is an essential fastening solution for aircraft assembly, sheet metal work, and fabrication projects where temporary holding power is critical. Cleco pins (also known as Cleco fasteners) serve as quick-release temporary clamps that hold components in precise alignment during drilling, riveting, or welding operations. This kit combines a set of 10 steel pins with a dedicated plier tool, making it the go-to choice for professionals and serious hobbyists working on airframes, composite structures, and metal fabrication assemblies.

Each 1/8-inch OD pin is constructed from cadmium-plated steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance and durability in demanding shop environments. The cadmium plating protects against rust while maintaining smooth operation through repeated compression and release cycles. The included plier tool features a specialized jaw design that grips the pin's spring-loaded collar, allowing operators to compress the pin and seat it firmly into pre-drilled holes with one-handed control. Once secured, the pins maintain consistent clamping pressure without drift or misalignment—critical when drilling multiple holes that must maintain perfect registration across layered assemblies.

Aircraft builders, aerospace technicians, and sheet metal fabricators rely on this kit to streamline workflow during structural assembly and component alignment. The 1/8-inch pin size accommodates standard hole patterns found in light aircraft construction and general metalworking applications. With a net weight of 0.99 lbs and compact dimensions, this kit stores easily in tool chests and is portable enough for both shop and field work. Whether you're assembling experimental aircraft, restoring vintage warbirds, or performing precision fabrication, the Cleco Plier and Pin Kit delivers the repeatable holding force needed to maintain tolerances and accelerate fastening sequences.
