I'd recommend the cleveland kit as a good starting point. Mine came with a
#10 countersink bit which isn't needed, but you will need a #12, which
isn't included.
I've used the avery squeezer and the cleveland main squeeze--I think the
cleveland main squeeze is worth the extra money.
I would not recommend the sioux rivet gun. I bought the 3x and while it
hasn't stopped working, it leaks and is very inconsistent. I also have an
ingersoll-rand AVC 12 (roughly a 2x gun), and I love it.
The 1/4" sioux air drill, on the other hand, is fantastic. I know some
people just use a cordless, but I think my arm would have fallen off by now.
Get a real angle drill, I don't know how people were able to do the build
with one of the adapters.
In addition to the kit: Get a giant box of the maroon scotch brite. I also
got an entire set of numbered drill bits because every now and again the
plans call for a random size that's not in the RV kits. Two microstop
countersink cages are better than one because you're always switching
between #30 and #40. I've also wound up with a large selection of rivet
sets because I found that the kit supplied ones only work for 98% of the
rivets.
