Cleco Storage and Uses
Here is my Storage plate for my Cleco's.
I was introduced to these by my Grandpa years ago. There are many uses for these. There are several different types. Who uses these and how do you use them? ?

Re: Cleco Storage and Uses
This was how my Grandpa stored them.
I made this in honor of him. I wish would have inherited more of his Organizing skills. My first habit of storage is a bucket.

Re: Cleco Storage and Uses
I have Clecos and don't use them enough. My storage, a cardboard box, that is a sweet idea.

Re: Cleco Storage and Uses
I keep mine in a tupperware tray. I wonder if storing them like this would cause the springs to weaken over time and not hold as tight?

I thought about that ,before I drilled 200 holes. My Grand-Pa kept his like this. They still work good. But the ones I just bought are not near the Quality of the ones he had. I got them for about $0.50 a piece so if I can find them when I need them was my Motive to do this .

Re: Cleco Storage and Uses
I much prefer the draw clecos with the wing nut, higher clamping pressure.

Re: Cleco Storage and Uses
I have some of those also.
They get the Kitten glove treatment . They was my Grand-Pa's. I will probably purchase some extra of those to use and abuse. I have been looking for a Zebra fixing clamp set like you have. I seen them when you posted you tool box thread. They are pretty cool.

Re: Cleco Storage and Uses
With a little trickery you can get clecos to clamp a butt weld.
