The new Tools are here! Well, they've been here a while already!



Another flashback - digging up some photos from the past now that I have mastered all my data transfer capabilities from the still and video cameras into my laptop. Tools were ordered from Cleaveland Tools - spent a small fortune - but it has already proven to be worth it. Right - Rivet gun - this is NOT the same tool as your garden variety air hammer. It IS the tool that will be most responsible for the creationof my RV8 (along with the bucking bars and rivets and metal parts of course.)
Center - air drill - again - much faster than the average air drill you find in local stores - uses 135 degree angle split point carbide tipped drill bits for clean holes. Right - This is a rivet squeezer - relatively heavy and awkward to hold at times, but it will certainly take the risk of incurring carpal tunnel disease from repetitive dimpling and rive setting. It has a ram that exerts 3000psi on the metal for dimpling or riveting.
