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.

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) -Mike Sent from my iPhone On Jul 4, 2013, at 9:13 AM, "johngoodman" wrote: > > I would suggest biting the bullet and getting a complete RV-10 build kit from one of the tool suppliers (I used Avery).

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.

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!
