Some of the tools in the airplane factory.
My Tool Collection
I initially ordered the RV-10 Tool Kit from Avery tools to get me started. When I received it I wasn't even sure what some of this stuff was. Slowly I've been educated about all of them by using them. I also picked up a lot of Delta tools from Lowes like: bandsaw, drill press, grinder, and sanders.
One very nice tool is the DRD2 Dimpler. It alows me to dimple by pulling a handle rather than holding a plunger and striking it with a hammer. This makes large pieces much more manageable working on my own.
Clecos of course!!! I added to my basic stock of 30's and 40's when I constructed the tailcone. It takes a lot for this part and I'm sure other parts will need as many.
The die grinder and pneumatic rivet squeezer have been real time savers too.
I invested in the Cogsdill Burraway tools to deburr 30 and 40 sized holes. With lots of initial adjustment, it does an okay job. It does not do as well as the manual deburring tool though.
