Subject: RV12-List: rivet puller

I ordered a RV-12 wing kit on April 8.  I need to buy some tools now so 
that I can start working on the wing kit when it arrives.  Someone 
recommended buying a rivet puller from Harbor Freight.  I see 3 of them 
on their website: ITEM 93458-9VGA $34.99, ITEM 95173-3VGA $32.99, and 
ITEM 167-0VGA $49.99.  Which one is the best?  Or is there one from a 
different source that you recommend?  Are there any other specialized 
tools that I should order now?
Thanks, Joe

Joe, I've bought a lot of tools from HFT over the years and my philosophy is
that they are expendable tooling. Often I buy them for a single job and put
them in as part of the job cost. If they last longer, great, but I don't buy
them considering that. If the job is critical, I buy two and return the
second if I don't use it. You're going to be using that puller a long time,
buy a good one. The low cost at HFT won't mean much if you lose a week of
build time because you have to budget for a new one. My 2 cents.

Jim Cone's RV-12 project photos are at www.vansairforce.net in the RV-12
forum.  Jim's kit is the only one that I know of that is in progress.

Thanks for the input Rick.  What brand and model rivet puller do you recommend?
And where is a good place to buy?  I will probably need a hand powered one too
for hard to reach places.
