Well Rick, I have too many! When you switch from counting to weighing, that's a sure sign.

Before you buy new, hit up your RV buds to loan or sell. I'm keeping mine for the next project.

Thanks for the idea Tony. I called up the Yardstore and asked if they had an used clecos, ordered 200 3/32 and 200 1/8 for 25 cents each. Great deal for anyone still in the tool buying stage.

I have 400 #40 and 500 #30 and at times when building the wings I wish I had more

Guys

How many clecos did you need to build a Panther wing? Have 100 #40s and have used them up on just one side of my left wing (with a clecos in maybe every third hole). Should I order another 100? 200?
