Nash" Subject: Re: RV10-List: Tooling up 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. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:21:58 PM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Re: Tooling up From: "Blizzard" Lot of good information.
