I ordered a RV-12 wing kit on April 8.  I need to buy some tools now  so that I can start working on the wing kit when it arrives.  Someone  recommended buying a rivet puller from Harbor Freight.  I see 3 of them on  their website: ITEM 93458-9VGA $34.99, ITEM  95173-3VGA $32.99, and ITEM 167-0VGA $49.99.  Which one is the best?  Or is there  one from a different source that you recommend?  Are there any other  specialized tools that I should order now?

 Thanks, Joe

Joe, I've bought a lot of tools from HFT over the years and my philosophy is that they are expendable tooling. Often I buy them for a single job and put them in as part of the job cost. If they last longer, great, but I don't buy them considering that. If the job is critical, I buy two and return the second if I don't use it. You're going to be using that puller a long time, buy a good one. The low cost at HFT won't mean much if you lose a week of build time because you have to budget for a new one. My 2 cents.

Thanks for the input Rick.  What brand and model rivet puller do you recommend?  And where is a good place to buy?  I will probably need a hand powered one too for hard to reach places.

I got a deal from Amazon on a set that included both pneumatic and a handheld for something like $60. It's been awhile.
