Brief Description:  More Tools

Went ahead and bit the bullet on buying some more tools. Figured since I have a pneumatic squeezer I should go ahead and get the proper yokes. The most popular ones seem to be a thin nose and a longeron yoke. Just happened to catch a sale on a rivet remover kit...I suppose there's lots of crooked rivets in my future. Got some Boelube, adjustable set holder, rivet tape, vixen file, cut off disks...etc, etc, etc. Just your average supplies to the nut who decides to build his own airplane. It's starting to set in that airplane tools are not like other tools...they're highly specialized (perhaps due to the "thinking" nature of airplane people), and they're expensive (perhaps due to the "mentally unstable" nature of airplane builders. At what point does a hobby become so expensive that it's considered a bad habit? By the way, I did a little experiment, I brought up the Cleveland Tool site and the Avery site and punched in identical parts into each...the Cleveland Tool total costs less. The Avery site is hard to navigate and the parts cost more...somebody please explain to me why they are so popular...am I missing something?
