OK, I know the rule; Don't get a yoke for your Hand Rivet Squeezer
that is too large. You could bend rivets under pressure. So what size
is good for all the RV-7 stuff? Can't I just get one size to cover
all? I'm on a budget here and I will bet the smallest, 1-1/2" (least
expensive) will not be enough. Comments please.

I bought a 3" yoke along with the 2" that the squeezer came with. Once I put the 3" yoke on, I never turned back. It works fine for everything on the plane.

I bought to longeron yoke which I use about 90% of the time and the 'no hole'
yoke for the other 10%. No problems so far. I just finished riveting the VS
skins.
I also bought the pneumatic squeezer.

Which no hole yoke? I have the same set up and just ordered the 4" no hole
to get to the tight rivets on the VS.

I got the 2 1/2 in no hole yoke and had no problems on the VS.
I am ordering from Avery their 4 in yoke (with hole) and longer set holder to
reach the rivets on the rudder and elevator spars.
