Jeff,
You get to build your airplane at least 3 times so enjoy the process.
Tools can be more than metal objects used to bend, cut, drill or rivet.
Tools can be websites such as this one and others that have gone before you.
It is unlikely that you will encounter or screw up something that someone
else hasn't already done, unless your very imaginative or creative.
If you have not checked with VAF, www.vansairforce.net, website you should.
The matronics and VAF websites should go into some of your favorites for
research.
Check out, www.vansaircraft.com/public/wwwlinks.htm, look under RV-9's for
websites that others before you have built with ideas and pictures. I have
some favorites that I check constantly.
But for hand tools:
You can find tools almost anywhere. I did not buy a generic "one size fits
all" kit from anyone place and I have been quite happy with my decision.
Also unless your impressed with name brands you can save a lot of $ buying
the same tool for less. Also don't forget about used tools, they work great
and provide good service and will save you more $$.
Check out
"The Yard" www.yardstore.com/, great folks, good service.
I bought a pneumatic rivet squeezer
www.yardstore.com/index.cfm?Action=ViewCategory&Category-, from them, it
was used and had performed flawlessly. If you don't want to spend the money
to buy a pneumatic rivet squeezer then don't ever try one. The first time
you try one you will be ordering one so fast because you will wonder how you
got along with out it in the first place. Once you get it set for the size
of rivet you are using it squeezes all the rest perfectly. Along the line of
rivets on the back of the horizontal stabilizer you will agree that the
money you paid for this tool is well spent.
I also bought and have used and love my DRDT dimpler,
www.experimentalaero.com/.
Your going to need a set of "close quarter dimple dies" which will be used
with your pop rivet gun. You won't use them very often but when you need one
almost nothing else will work. By the way use finishing nails for the
mandrels after you break all the ones that come with the dies.
Another tool you will find very useful is a 90 degree angle drill, the
smaller the better.
Are you a builder or a flyer?

Just put the motor mount on for the first time yesterday, today I will take
it off, make adjustments, put it back on, take some measurements, take it
off, repeat 100 times.

Dennis,
Do you have a flying 9? Or is your a 9A? Or did you mean your 355 hours
into the building process?
If flying how do you like your 9 so far? Any problems learning to land the
9?

Carl,
That is exactly what I have with the adjustable set holder. I was just
joking with you because in your first email you said, Hydraulic" instead of
pneumatic.
I totally agree with you, I would not be with out a pneumatic rivet
squeezer. Every time I loan it to someone I know they are going to buy one.
I did the slow build wings and the squeezer paid for itself over and over
again.
Mike

OK, I was just in a hurry and thinking about brakes, now if I could only find a
light 22" deep throat for my hydraulic squeezer for $50, I would be a happy camper.

Wimps!
I have built my entire -9 with a rock and a stick! ;)
Actually, I used the Avery's squeezer and saved the money I didn't spend
on a pneumatic squeezer on replacement parts.

Carl,
Like you, when I started the thought of picking up my rivet gun
frightened me. Now I don't even give it a second thought. No need for
that 22" deep throat, in other words.

OK, I was just in a hurry and thinking about brakes, now if I could only
find a light 22" deep throat for my hydraulic squeezer for $50, I would
be a happy camper.

Carl,
That is exactly what I have with the adjustable set holder. I was just
joking with you because in your first email you said, Hydraulic" instead
of
pneumatic.
I totally agree with you, I would not be with out a pneumatic rivet
squeezer. Every time I loan it to someone I know they are going to buy
one.
I did the slow build wings and the squeezer paid for itself over and
over
again.

Bill,
Yeah, and I bet you mined the bauxite in the hills of Jamaica.
On the way to the airport, way to go Bill. Take pictures of the first
flight. When you get here you will have a place to stay.

Mike,
Will do, if I'm not too busy flying.
As for the place to stay, we might need four beds. One of our chapter
members is about to finish his Murphy Super Rebel and we have both been
talking about flying to AK when we are finished. Of course, I will have
to slow WAY down for him. What is impressive about that monster is that
it can go 150 mph Vcr. Not too bad for a flying school bus.

If you review the archives, folks have been quite happy with the 'ABC's'
(Avery, Brown, Cleveland). Another to look at is PlaneTools/Isham.
Unless you want to get used and piecemeal, I would recommend a kit. The
kits usually save you 10% or so, and are fairly complete. I got mine
from Avery at OSH last year and got even more discounts, plus did a fair
amount of substituting (eg DRDT-2 instead of C-frame). They were very
accomodating, and Bob personally took care of everything despite running
ragged at the show. Squeezer came off ebay for $200.
