I believe I read a note... possibly from Gary ... that cleco's from one
manufacturer were more reliable than others available. (Some breakage
noted, if I recall.)
I am unable to locate that message now.
Does anyone remember the recommendation? Was it Kwiklok?
Small point... but may as well buy the stronger brand?
Thank you.

I live in OK City area and have bought all my clecos at "Brown Tool" with great luck...no rejects out of the 750+ I have purchased thus far. Their prices were also the the best I could find.

The bogus clecos came from Vans. Nearly 30% of them broke on first use!
The ones I got from Brown Tool have served me well. Not a single broken
one, but keep them in a dry place because they will tend to rust. This is
true of all brands, and rust doesn't go well with aluminum work.

I knew I was saving these little buggers for a reason ! Of my broken Clecos : 8 were Cleco brand
22 were Kwik Lok, and 104 were Wedge Lock. I know I got some from ATS while at Oshkosh in '99 and some from Vans'. What brand does Brown Tool Co. sell Gary ? I will order the next ones from them.
