Anybody have any advice on pneumatic squeezers? I'm going to take
Jeff's advice and get one. Where do I start? What do I look for?
What's critical or useful when building an RV4?
Side note... I just reserved a vanity plate for my car: "RV4" How
cool is that?

recoup some of the tool cost to put into avgas.

Try calling Bill Jones at Production Tool and Technology at 1-866-546-4663.
They are in Macon Georgia. Tell them about what you are looking for and
they will make you a good price. Look in the US Industrial and figure out
about what size you want. Call me with questions. -- Les

http://clearairtools.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=CA&Category_Code=PRS is one place...
Clearair tools has rebuilt (and new) pn. squeezers. Avery and Cleaveland only have new. You don't need 4 yokes and a lot of fixed length sets/shims. Get an adjustable set and a couple of yokes, start with a 2.5 inch if you want to start with one. (you will find there will be a lot of rivets you could get to with a longer one, but that can wait) You WILL need a C-frame tool, though. A 1" strip sander is great too. Most come with a 6" disc sander on the side, I never used mine, but some guys used that more than the strip.
"What's critical or useful when building a -4?"
Heh, heh, heh,...PATIENCE!
of course, I took 15 years to finish mine...well worth waiting for! I did pick up some wrinkles along the way, but the biggest have been added the last year of flying it, laugh lines, every time I go up! All those admonishments to "keep pounding those rivets!" ...they know whereof they speak!
