Light Weight:10% lighter than traditional cleco pliers

Wider Handle:About twice as wide as traditional cleco pliers. The force on the hands soft tissue is about half that of the traditional pliers

Magnetic Cleco Capture:Less dropped clecos, bending over to retrieve, etc. No requirement to utilize hand motions just to hold the cleco in pliers. Clecos can be attached to the pliers with one hand if the other hand is not available. The pair of magnets capture the cleco and orient it to align with the top of the pliers

Pivot Bearing Assembly:A special arrangement of bearings is housed within the pivot area. This arrangement of bearings ensures the rear of the pliers stay in alignment so the latch will stay within the catch area. The bearing assembly also provides for smooth operation

Torsion Opening Spring:A torsion spring is utilized to open the pliers fully, eliminating the finger dance required to open, then hold the cleco, with the traditional pair of cleco pliers

Side Opening:The approach to the cleco is from the side rather than from the front. This allows for just a slight rotation of the wrist to capture or release the cleco. This practically eliminates the full range of motion required with a front / traditional style of cleco pliers

Note: due to size differences between cleko clamps and standard clekos, these pliers do not work with cleko clamps.
