I hope this hasn't been asked and answered before. I bought new clecos maybe two or three years back and kept them in the basement, an environment which is not too corrosive. Unfortunately, a couple of my 1/8" clecos are stuck now, as in they won't retract all the way back into the body and hence won't keep two sheets of metal together tightly.

Is there any way I can fix this (I only tried a bit of oil, but to no avail), or do I have to dump those clecos?
