I just found out about these via a posting to Facebook --

http://www.clecall.com/

Anyone tried 'em? Would they help any of all y'all who're actually building?

Ihab,
They look like nice cleco pliers and the offset they have would have been handy sometimes. I have made it 20 years without them so they are probably not critical. I personally have a hard time buying any more cleco pliers. Here is part of my collection:

Bryan: You could build a whole second airplane with these Cleco pliers. Not as tools mind you; I mean, you could make an airplane out of the pliers. Or at least an engine. };->

Christopher: Good luck and glad there's interest. If they save some builders from cleco-related hand discomfort, that's great!

Hey, those pliers are not all the same! Some have tape on the handles. Like I said already they look nice and could be handy in some locations. They would have been great with all the messing around I just did with the tail.

The reason I have so many cleco pliers, bucking bars and so on is that Sikorsky sold off all the Schweizer tools before they closed the doors. I guess I should have seen that coming!

Good luck Christopher and maybe someday you will want to roll some of those profits into a Sonex! Would be a great marketing opportunity.
