I have a Air squeezer with 2.5 and 4" yokes and quick change pins. I also have a Tatco hand squeezer, not the best one there is. I use the air anytime I can. Yes it is heavy and bulky and you can very easily punch a hole where you don't want it, and I run it at 95 psi all the time.
The main claim to fame for the pneumatic is the 12.5 inch throat bench mounted yoke that I made out of 2" thick plate. This is used for mainly for dimpling and will reach to the center of almost all the skins. I have also done some riveting with it.
The point is nothing is cheap with this type of project and you need to do or get whatever floats your boat, or should I say flys your plane !
