--> RV10-List message posted by: "RV Builder (Michael Sausen)" <rvbuilder@Sausen.net>
All,
This is my own fault for assuming but I wanted to pass it along anyway
to anyone considering getting a pneumatic squeeze. Be sure they have an
adjustable set holder. The item "12310 Rebuilt C Squeeze" The Yard
Store carries doesn't have one and when I called they just said that if
it does they will list it in the description. My only experience has
been with adjustable so I didn't even know that it could have a fixed
holder They didn't really seem to care when I mentioned that they
should say that it isn't adjustable on the website. They did offer a
refund if I sent it back at my expense.
My solution was to take the adjustable one out of my hand squeeze.
Just wanted everyone to be mindful when dealing with them that they need
to not assume anything. They didn't cheat me but they didn't exactly
seem to care that I wasn't happy.

Gee Michael, sorry to hear about your Yard experience. I have only
ordered from them a few times but the transactions have gone well. I
never heard of a C squeezer that didn't have an adjustable holder.
The item in their catalog that I really like is the pneumatic cleco
tool. I got one for a friend while working on his 9 and now have one of
my own. It is wonderful for populating holes before riveting. At $25 it
is a real steal.

As I said, I don't feel that I was cheated and I'm not saying that they
did anything wrong. The caution is merely to new builders that might
not know the difference. My only experience with squeezers was that
they were adjustable so I had no idea. My new hand squeeze from Avery
was adjustable.
Sub $300 for a pneumatic squeeze is a good deal no matter how you look
at it, I just would have like to have known about the lack of adjustment
so I could have ordered one with it. That's why I posted, so other
people would know. BTW, their pneumatic cleco squeeze is great! But
stay away from the individual oilers for $5, they leak into the line
when not in use.

Neither Avery nor Cleaveland indicate that an adjustable set holder
comes with their squeezer and they both sell one separately, suggesting
theirs also come with fixed set holders. I don't see any difference
with The Yard. Maybe they could have been more understanding about your
mistake, but it appears to me that is was your mistake.
The Yard folks have always given me good service and on one occasion
adjusted their price to me to meet the competition's price. Also, their
shipping cost on small items is a better deal, as they charge only
actual cost.
You may also note that their price was almost $200 cheaper than that
charged by Clear Air Tools
http://clearairtools.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=CA
&Category_Code=PRS
for their rebuilt squeezers, so you got a pretty good deal.
BTW, when you want additional yokes, Clear Air seems to have the best
deals.
