Thanks guys p. Walter ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:33:27 AM PST US From: "LarryRobertHelming" Subject: Re: RV7-List: Rivet squeezer The force applied by the squeezer results in a limit of how long the jaw can be. Make it too long and it will bend and lose its shape after so many uses and be harmful to your plane. You can find a offering of jaw lengths from several suppliers. I used Avery tools but others offer similar products. None are too long for the reason stated.

It's not the squeezer, it's the YOKE that you want to look into. FWIW, I have three yokes, none of which I'd want to live without: 1) 3" standard C yoke 2) Longeron yoke 3) 4" thin-nose no-hole yoke They are interchangeable on my pneumatic squeezer and Avery hand squeezer. )_( Dan RV-7 N714D http://www.rvproject.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Walter To: rv7-list@matronics.com Sent: Tuesday, October 25, 2005 2:37 AM Subject: RV7-List: Rivet squeezer Hi group, can anyone tell me if there is a specific type of hand rivet squeezers to that have a longer jaw for extended reach for some of the more awkward rivets. i.e. elevator prior to rolling the leading edge.

I have a Tatco hand squeezer and an Avery Tools hand squeezer. I really like the feel of the Tatco, but its yoke is NOT interchangeable with the Avery hand squeezer or 214 pneumatic. )_( Dan ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan Checkoway To: rv7-list@matronics.com Sent: Tuesday, October 25, 2005 4:25 PM Subject: Re: RV7-List: Rivet squeezer Mine is a Chicago Pneumatic #214 *style* squeezer, made in the USA and sold by Avery Tools. http://www.averytools.com )_( Dan RV-7 N714D http://www.rvproject.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Walter To: rv7-list@matronics.com Sent: Tuesday, October 25, 2005 3:40 PM Subject: Re: RV7-List: Rivet squeezer Thanks Dan, As a first time builder and learning all the time, at this point I only have an aviaquip RV basic tool pack.
