Our spring-loaded Cleco fasteners feature a durable plated steel body and are designed to provide precise, reliable holding power during drilling, riveting, welding, and other fabrication tasks. Commonly used in aviation, metalworking, roofing, and manufacturing, they allow components to be temporarily secured and then removed within seconds using Cleco Pliers.

All spring-loaded Clecos are plier-operated and ideal for applications requiring fast, temporary fastening.

Spring-Loaded Cleco Types

There are four styles of spring-loaded Cleco fasteners, each suited to different material thicknesses and working conditions:

C Series (Standard – Most Common)

Grip range: 0–1/4"

The industry-standard Cleco fastener, used across most fabrication and repair applications.

CC Series (Short Body / Stubby)

Grip range: 0–1/4"

A compact version of the C Series designed for tight or confined spaces. Body length: 40mm end-to-end.

CHD Series (Heavy Duty)

Grip range: 0–1/2"

Engineered for thicker or heavier assemblies. Provides increased strength and holding power while maintaining easy plier-operated installation.

CL Series (Extended Grip)

Grip range: 1/4"–1/2"

Ideal for applications requiring additional reach and engagement depth to accommodate thicker material stacks.

Diameter & Colour Coding

Spring-loaded Clecos are available in four colour-coded diameters to simplify identification:

• 3/32" – Zinc
• 1/8" – Copper
• 5/32" – Black
• 3/16" – Brass

The C and CHD Series also include a 1/4" diameter option, colour-coded copper.
