Couldnt agree more...the resistance of some builders to NOT buy a pneumatic squeezer baffles me. There are some 14,000 rivets or something on one of these bad boys...sure, you cant squeeze them all, but I have used mine a ton for riveting and dimpling. Why, why, why would you not want to make that task imeasurably easier? If its money...buy one, take care of it during the build...and then sell it when you are done and get a pretty good return. They sell like hotcakes on this site. Is it necessary? No...but gosh is it nice to have....favorite tool that I own.

Yoke style, I have a standard 3" yoke, a 4" no-hole (thin nose) yoke, and a longeron yoke. All serve their purpose and are really good to have.
