Which no hole yoke is most useful? Can I get away with a one inch for my handheld Tatco? Or is it more useful to do the 2.5 for the pneumatic squeezer?

No hole

I would say yes, but only because I rarely use it. The bigger it it, the more it flexes and tends to squeeze crooked.

I use both. I like the Tatco hand squeezer because I have more control. However I can?t squeeze 1/8? rivets with it, I?m not strong enough. The pneumatic squeezer works great but I don?t feel like I have the same precision. The Tatco squeezer is a great tool in my opinion.

Every time someone posts about how to repair a duplicate hole, it is ALWAYS caused by a pneumatic squeezer.

You can get great precision when they are adjusted properly, just watch out for “trigger jump” if you dimple with them.

I did my build with only the 1” no hole.

Well...an awful lot of them are caused by C-Frames and hammers as well.... evil devices!

The 1" Tatco squeezer is the tool I most often borrow. One of these days I'll get my own!

The 1? Tatco squeezer is the one I loan out the most.
