My hands and elbows hate working cleco pliers. I'm looking for a better tool. My recent conversion to cordless rivet pullers has given me a possibly false hope....
I'm aware of the pneumatic tool sold by Spruce and others (Nova® Cleco Installation Tool - Pistol Grip or PNEUMATIC CLECO INSTALLATION TOOL | Aircraft Spruce), but I'd like to avoid compressed air in my shop if I can help it. I've also see "nut runner" attachments for cordless screwdrivers for wingnut/hex nut cleco's (Draw Cleco Installation & Removal Tool - MADE IN THE USA! | Brown Aviation & Aircraft Tools) but I'd rather not re-tool at 3 times the price per cleco, even at surplus prices (3/32 KHNL 0-1 or 1/8 KHN 0-1/2).
Anybody aware of any other way to go?
I've looked online at Assembly Tooling, but even the Cleco company doesn't have anything for spring type temporary panel fasteners.
