That is a Cleco Clamp primarily used on aircraft sheetmetal panels. I have used many of these way back in the ole days. They are still sold and are very handy for sheetmetal  projects as are all of the Cleco tools.  I assume these are still used on Aircraft since that was their original intent. The last time I used one was on AC in 1993.
