Pneumatic Squeezer (The Yard Store)

Without doubt the most important purchase (from my perspective anyway). Some might say the plane itself is - yep, I could go with that also.

I've had the pleasure of being able to assist a mate, Steve, build parts of his plane and the amount of effort the pneumatic squeezer avoids is huge! Anyone who's been able to compare a manual squeezer to the pneumatic squeezer I'm sure would have to agree.

I purchased the "C" Squeeze with 3" Yolk from The Yard Store not long ago and 

I'm looking forward to using this on the real thing...

Some figures on the squeezer:

• Force pounds: 3000
• Jaw reach: 3"
• Weight: 5.5lbs
• Length: 10 3/4"
• Aluminium rivet capacity: 1/8"
• Steel rivet capacity: 3/32"
• Single cylinder
• Uses standard 3/16" shank squeezer sets and dimple dies
