Very strange. I use forceps to temporarily clamp 2 sheets of sheet
aluminum together all the time - before they are drilled or clecoed.
Specifically, 5" straight or curved Kelly forceps. I would never heard of
cleco pliers being cals that. (And the Navy apparently spells it with
a T)
Kelly forceps are also great for holding small things together while
epoxy hardens.
