Just wanted to give two thumbs up to Bob Avery and his service!
It all started with a lucky punch, winning Doug's monthly pledge drive goodie in the form of a credit at Avery Tools.
So let's see what tools are we missing for our recently finished RV-7A? turns out we've had to borrow quite a few when we needed them, mainly sockets and special wrenches (which we can't get in regular stores). So the order went out for an aviation spark plug socket and a few extras which was promptly delivered.
One other extra tool we needed was a special long reach socket to service the fuel injectors. We did not exactly know the size/type required, so i inquired with Bob. He went out of his way to provide us with the right sockets: First he went to an A&P at the airport to find out what tools he used. Turns out the A&P had modified his sockets to fit in the tight spot. So Bob went to Sears to get us two 1/2" long reach sockets and modified one on his lathe as he had observed at the airport!
A week or so later we have the sockets nicely packaged, along with two Avery catalogs in the mail... Cost for parts and labour: Less than a quart of oil sets you back over here
Will we recommend Avery? Absolutely positively to anyone!
kind regards,
Bernie
