I would suggest biting the bullet and getting a complete RV-10 build kit from one
of the tool suppliers (I used Avery). They will include stuff that your not
familiar with, but will be invaluable at the right time.
The best thing I got was the Sioux air drill with an optional keyless chuck. The
suggestions on extra clecos and drill bits are good. Don't try to save a few
bucks on cheap bits - get plenty.
I need to rephrase this - the best thing was the pneumatic squeezer.

Must haves (in my book):
- start with a RV tool kit
- spend the money on the Sioux drill, worth every penny!
- buy a keyless quick change chuck for the drill, you'll save tons of time in bit
changes.
- buy a second countersink drill cage, leave one set up for #40 and one for #30.
- pneumatic riveter with deep throat and longeron yokes
- tungsten bucking bar
- the DRDT is very nice too. Not a must have in my book unless you are building
at home, then it is a must have as it makes no sound....
- you can never have too many clecos
- also buy 10-20 of the larger clecos (black, gold)

Never saw this mentioned, so in case it wasn't: One of my MOST used tools was
and is a Die Grinder. Mine I believe is a CP and I've used it so much that it
should have died long ago, but still survives as if it were new. Shaping, fitting,
cutting, elongating holes, etc. If you put it to work for you it may become
your best friend quickly! I also agree with others about the pneumatic
squeezers - also a best friend. Find one that fits your liking and learn how
to use it. It can give you quick, professional, repeatable and consistent rivet
sets. This is my second plane and I don't even own a hand squeezer! Certainly
there were a few areas where I could have used it, but your choice. Hope
that helps. Oh, and yes both of these require a compressor - my choice is one
with a separate electric motor and separate compressor motor - for the most
part they seem much more quiet. I've painted lots of things with mine and had
no bleed in problems with oil or moisture using a filter/dryer in-line, before
the gun.

I will check out the RV tool kits while at Osh. As pointed out, I can delete any
tools I may have. Based on everyones input, a Pneumatic Squeezer is on the
must have list. Have a safe Independence Day!

Stop at KPMH on your way home. I have a DRDT-2, books, trays, oops rivets and many
other items left over.
