Clecos are of US origin. There is a Brit tool that does the same job - used to be made by Avdel. It has a skeleton structure, and tension to clamp the sheet metal is applied by twisting a knurled nut with the fingers - no special tool required. One name for these - and Clecos - is 'skin pins'. Still widely used, AFAIK.
