Which Tools Make the Difference?
Why Build your airplane with Cleaveland Tool?
We are For Builders—By Builders. Our Van's RV-4 won the Grand Champion Lindy in 1989 and we've been sharing our knowledge ever since.
Support Small Business. We are Family Owned & Operated and we care about the future of experimental aviation.
Quality Tools Are a Pleasure to Use. We only sell what we'd use ourselves. We like to pass on our best ideas to our fellow builders.
Ready for Takeoff
Our new cowling installation tool makes fitting and trimming the cowling easy and precise. This tool bolts to the crank shaft hub to act as a stand-in for the propeller and spinner, and the adjustable platform clamps or clekos to the front of the cowl to securely hold the cowl's position while you do the trimming work.
This handy tool saves you the headache and trouble of having a friend try to hold everything together during this process, with no need to hastily cobble together a device that will cause more work than it saves.
