Any recommendations or experience as to which tool supplier to use (from Van's tool supplier list) when buying the RV-12 toolkit for a first time builder. Thanks. Dave
Yep, got that one, too.Avery tool.

Vans specifically recommends this particular pop rivet tool, however neither Avery or Cleveleand appears to include this one in their kit (both provide a "swivel head pop rivet puller" instead). Anybody have issues with using the swivel head tool as opposed to the (much) more expensive PRP26A tool?
I am having trouble finding that PRP26A pop rivet puller tool or who has it, does someone have a photo of it? Is it hand powered or air powered?
The tight space rivet tool came in my kit from Isham, still needed the little self created wedges in a few places but it was the only way to set the pulled rivets closest to the Spar Flange on the Vertical Stabilizer
How did it wear out, did you contact Isham for a replacement?
I have worn out my craftsmen hand puller but the "wear out" was the serrated lever that bites and pulls the shank through, replaceable for a few bucks
I wore out three Harbor Freight pneumatic pullers, all wore out the serrated teeth as well. If they can be replaced that makes a big difference.
