Hi,
New builder here. My RV9A Empennage kit is to arrive Wednesday, but I need a bunch
of tools. I have been looking at Avery and Cleveland, who seem to be highly
regarded, but also at Browns. Brown seems to have better pricing, and I have
already ordered a Sioux 3X rivet gun and air drill from them, saving about
$175 right there (not to mention Brown's has free shipping). Most all of their
prices on other items is a bit less, too, and I wonder if people use Avery/Cleveland
as these two companies have fairly compete kits of tools, whereas for
Brown you have to select each one individually?
Any guidance would be appreciated. I have a spreadsheet with Van's suggested tools
vs. part number and pricing for these three companies that I would be happy
to send out to anyone who is interested. Heck, I will try to attach it to
this post. I also included some other recommended tools I have read are helpful.
The sheet is not totally complete yet, but if it helps someone, great.
Thanks!

Jeff,
I just bought a partial set of tools from Avery and they are just great, very good
quality. I also bought a clone USA made hydraulic squeezer from Brown and
a Sioux 3x rivet gun. They delivered quickly and the quality of the clone squeezer
seems fine for 500$. I'm happy with all and will buy from both again.
The price for the rivet gun and squeezer were 150$ less at Brown and the only
reason I didn't buy the lot from Avery.

Hi Jeff,
I bought most of my tools from Cleveland and I can't
say enough good things about them. They are
themselves RV Builders and extremely helpful.
The most important thing is when you call them they
answer the phone. You don't need to listen to a
computer for 5 or 10 minutes to get what you want.
Secondly they are a good source of general
information. You can ask a question about building
and they will advise you.
I don't think you can go wrong with them.

I purchased a tool kit from Brown about 3 yrs ago, They let me add and
delete to get what I wanted in the kit... Very nice people to deal with.
