The cleco fastener (sometimes spelled cleko), also known as a skin pin, is a fastener that was originally developed by the Cleveland Pneumatic Tool Company.
Cleco fasteners are widely used in the manufacture and repair of aluminum-skinned aircraft and in automotive repair, where they are used to temporarily fasten multiple sheets of material together before the pieces are permanently joined.
