Seriously awesome little tool. The hose provided has a 1/8” NPT fitting that does not swivel…I’m going to fix that! Other than that it works very smoothly and fast!

I bought the pneumatic cleco install tool as a gift for my son who is budding an RV-9. He loves it says when he has to do dosens of clecos it saves his hand and time.

Best tool I own! Installing and removing clecos is easy, doing it a thousand times is another story. I should have bought this tool years ago! A swivel connection to the pneumatic line would be a nice improvement.

I love this tool. Consider if you do mostly horizontal or vertical work though. You may consider one of the pistol-grip variants. I find this perfect on the bench top but havent done a lot of vertical work yet. The tool is sturdy and should last forever (made of aluminum). Pros: Easy to actuate. Easy to set on the cleco (once you get a feel for it). Paint finish has a texture so that it is easy to keep a good loose/comfortable grip - no strain on the hands. Cons: The included 1/4 elbow is restrictive...should be a 360 swivel in my opinion. Also would like to see better care instructions. Im not sure if it should be oiled, or greased, or what. Assuming oil for now. :)
