Snap, it looks like you are off to a great start!

Nice hardware you got there!

I am orange with envy when it comes to the Sioux stuff!

Nice choices!

Those are some nice tools you are getting, and no, it never ends. I know a builder that is already flying and is still buying neat new tools. There will always be something new to do, and a tool you will want so you can do it better, or need just to attempt the job. Most of these tasks are not that difficult, it is just a matter of using the right tool, the right way, which I'm still learning.

Snap,

Are those Midget size cleco's ? they look kinda small to me..
Guess I'm just used to seeing the longer ones.

Nice keyless chuck on the Sioux

Don't let anyone tell you different, size does matter. I thought I would get some smaller clecos just in case. I don't know if I will use them yet but who know

, maybe they will come in handy.

I can tell you I giggle like a school girl when someone knocks at the door with a package for me (leave that alone). It is like Christmas everytime. The guys at work just scratch thier heads and can't understand like we do. They just don't get it.

Okay Snap, what the heck are the things in the first three bins starting from the top left? Inquiring minds want to know.

I recognize the second and third bins from the left as oilers for air tools, only cuz I have a handful of them.

Snap, don't get too excited about those...mine are collecting dust. They leak badly when set on their sides...

Just a heads up mate!

Tools.... shiny new tools...

I miss the magic. My tools are old and rusty. I think I need a new drill.

Rubber tipped side clamps (can also me used for nipple clamps)

Air/water seperators for the air hose ?
Wing Nut clecos (extra clamping strength)

Right, right and right. I really don't need to be here do I? You guys can do it all.

I don't know about your inspection process there Snap, but here we put in as many rivets as we can without blocking the view to any rivet (both sides). Only after an inspection can the final rivets be installed. The reason I mention this is because I just ordered some of those midget clecos two days ago so I can cleco a few things from inside a spar or rib to a skin, that way only the small end sticks out on the surface. This makes it much easier/safter to move around and store in terms of not banging the clecos and bending something. Anyway, that's going to be my use of them stubby clecos.
