Real good list... But for the angle drill, do not buy those big 3/8" drill
they are so big you do not use it. Buy (used at www.yardstore.com) a small
air one, look like your dentist one! They use 1/4-28 threaded bit (of
different length) and are very appreciate when you need it. The yard store
have also a small air operated cleco squeezer at $24.95 #12165 that is fun
to have when you removed 247 cleecos in a row.... You also need a Mocrostop
for counter sink... I have a Solid rivet squeezer... I bought the 120
degree dimple set for it and it make better job than the nail operated one
(but not essential). You never have enough... but you can make it with
just the few basic..

Thanks for all of your suggestions. I'm finding out that I'm gonna be in
pretty good shape except for a few of the really specific tools. Thanks
again. craig

Is 1/4" big enough for the drill chuck or do you need 3/8"?

Thanks,

1/4" is big enough for almost everything. I don't think you'll need a 3/8"
drill until you get to the front of the fuelage.
