Anyone use Dzus Fastners?

I know right? Cleco’s are an airframe fab/setup tool carried over to the auto world and sheet metal fab…Awesome little bits. Thread setters install threaded inserts into sheet metal in a similar fashion as a pop rivet. Dzus, well you know those.

I’ve used more cleco’s in my life on aircraft then I care to discuss…

And the ‘thread set’ is commonly referred to as a ‘rivnut’ also.

While we are at it…

Standard rivet (takes 2 people to install in some cases)
