If it's cheap, you don't want it. Call the guys at the Yardstore, see
if they'v got any used ones.

A good squeezer, a couple of heads and full range of sets makes up a
good part of your tool kit. If the only way to get one is to poke
your change in a sock until you can afford it, then do it.

Thanx for the feedback. I've been having a hard time locating a rivet
squeezer. Not many places carry them. I plan to get one in the next
week or 2 but I wanted to make sure I was getting a good deal. None of
the places I usually shop for tools carry such an item...

Stay away from Cal Aero Supply on eBay; they sell really old
stuff. Got a squeezer from them that needed significant overhaul and
sure didn't save money on that deal.
