I AM SURE THAT after I turn out the lights and leave my shop that
the clecos come out to play. The proof of this is that they seem
to continually decrease in number, which I am sure is due to
some of them sneaking away in the night.
My normal storage method for my clecos is a combination
of Ziploc bags and various cups and cans. I have no idea of
how many I have of each size, and thus I could not tell you
if any are missing. When I have to use them at a different
location, I usually have to find a cardboard box to haul them,
piling bags, cups, and cans randomly in the box. If I need a
particular size cleco, I have to rummage through the collec-
tion to find the right size.
