Product Description

The KHD Long Reach Spring Cleco 1/4" is a temporary fastening solution designed to hold sheet metal panels in alignment during repair, fabrication, or assembly. Featuring a spring-loaded, plier-operated design, it allows quick installation into pre-drilled holes to securely clamp panels without permanent fastening.
