Does anyone know how much 'wallow' in the prop bolt holes is tolerable?

I already looked in the archives and read all there is on drills and rivet guns.
Some of it is a little dated, so I was curious
about some particular items.
Drills: Is there a minimum RPM you would look for?
Is having the drill reversable something you would look for?
Are the higer end drills (Sioux, etc) that much quieter and better running?
As for rivet guns: To build a quick build kit, can I get by on the 2X for most
of my needs? The archives vary in opinion on this as I'm sure some of you will.
I don't want to spend a fortune on tools, BUT I would rather buy a better tool
once, then buy several over the years.
Looking for advice,
Thanks in advance,
John Brunke

FWIW, I gave up entirely on the air-powered drills about halfway through
my first wing, realizing how much I was spending on compressed air
(noise, wear on the machine and power) Went to rechargeable drill with
two batteries & never looked back... After very close examination, I've
never seen ANY less quality of them thar holes! As far as the rivet
gun, a 2X will accomplish most any task short of boilerplate, but the
neatest trick is a 1X I borrowed from a fellow builder with a back-rivet
set- you will be astonished at how nice them skins look using this
thing- It even earned a name: from the first time I ran a row of rivets
with it, it became known as "Cats A$$"!! (Thanks, "person-who-loaneth
tools"!)
Happy pokin' & poundin'!!
