I?m certainly new to aircraft building, but devoted to building rather than certified. So I?ve starting gathering a collection of tools (thanks to the classifieds here), and will start practicing (i.e. riveting) soon on Van?s practice kit.
Recently I have been ?battling? for tools on EBay with some difficulty. My intent was to buy used equipment and try it out. For example, buy a 2X and 3X rivet gun and try them both out. The one I didn?t like would wind up back on EBay.
Unfortunately, the bidding on EBay has been high enough (you know who you are) on used equipment that it would almost be more practical to buy new. But I don?t want to buy new unless I?m certain on which tool is preferred.
This leads me to the old 3X versus 2X, Hand versus Pneumatic, Alligator versus C-Yoke, etc., etc., etc.
So?can someone direct me to the archives for this forum? I?m sure I can find my answers there rather than start a new thread.

Tool Gathering Stage
? 1% - It would be nice to have the 7A aerobatics for those temptations.
? 5% - Maybe I could afford an RV-10 in a few years.
? 5% - Just in case medicals force a Sport Pilot option, an RV-12 would be nice, but where is it?
