New tools arrived

Finally after waiting nearly two months my order from Avery Tools had arrived. Back in Nov 8th I placed a fairly big order since Avery Tools was going out of business. I ordered a tandem alligator squeezer, a pneumatic cleco gun, a larger selection of flat rivet dies in various thicknesses, SafeAir pitot mast and skyview plumbing kit. I was super excited that it was finally here.   

The cleco gun is nice, first impressions is that it will come in extremely handy for work on the skins. I gave the new squeezer a try. It has tons of power and a bit better trigger than my C frame squeezer. I can see that it will not be as easy to adjust the dies for setting rivets, and it will be a tad tricky to make sure that it sets rivets straight, but it sure is cool!
