I did not purchase a kit per se. I bought part of a tool kit and eliminated the things I did not want.
Squeezer:
IMO--the only squeezer to go with is the Numatx squeezer. You won't regret getting it. the squeezer itself is very small and gets into tighter places. Plus it can be attached to a c-frame (that you have to build or have built). They also have had great customer serve. of all the tools I purchased this was the best one. I had the c-frame cut at a metal shop and welded by my father in-law. The only thing you must have made is the holder for the squeezer--it is not standard thickness metal. It has to be thinned.
You will need a longeron yoke. No hole would be nice, but I just put in pop rivets where I couldn't fit the squeezer or bucking bar (all Okayed by Van's). I also have a 3" and 4". The 3" is lighter for general use, but the 4" sure comes in handy.
Bucking bars:
Two tungsten bars are nice. I have these.

you will need a few special thinner bar for a few spots. Plus you will need this:

I assume that these should resell for nearly what you bought them for. They are nearly indestructible. Same goes for the yokes.
Counter sinkers:
I have 3. I should have purchased more, then set with the appropriate counter sinker (dimple or rivet), label, and forget. I am always reseting these.
Random thoughts.
Go to Cleaveland Tool and search RV-14 to see all the things that you will eventually purchase.
buy a canvas apron pouch. It is a great place to store things that tend to dissappear. Like center punch, all your dimple templates for setting counter sink cage. In addition, I for putting clecos, when you are putting them in and taking them out. Those little things are like ants, ever time you think you have them all off the floor you find 3 or 4 more.
Buy as big of a 60 gallon compressor if you have the space and the $$. split off the compressor and let down the pressure on 1 line for painting and squeezing rivets. Then 2-3 higher pressure lines--drill, pneumatic cleco gun (a must buy if you can find one), air grinders, etc.
not sure what is in the tools kits, but you will also need an assortment of reamers. If you look through the plans, they will what special tools you will need for a specific section.
You will need to build a rib flange straighter (I can send you a picture if you want--it brings the flanges to 90). The demurring tool in that package sucks. I have a better one. Plus a fluting tool (cleaveland part #500).
Vixen file (cleaveland FV10) to clean up the edges of the thick parts. I did not see this in the Isham kit.
edge forming tool (cleaveland EF60)
I really like the deburring tool from Cleaveland (1046)
get a high quality digital level that can be calibrated. I had to buy a second one since the first one couldn't be calibrate by me.
buy a digital torque calibrator to make sure your torque wrenches are calibrated well (maybe overkill). You will need an inch lb and a ft pound wrench. I also have beam style torque wrench to measure torque drag prior to setting with a regular torque wrench. Also, always store torque wrench set at min torque on wrench. Don't leave it set or completely unloaded.
Send me an email and I can send you a list of tools on an excellent spread sheet. I got the spreadsheet from Troy Grover at his building class. I have added some things to it. So although I am a first time builder, my tool list is from a very experienced builder.
just some of my thoughts and a lot more than you asked for.
