Pneumatic Squeezer Yokes

I think the pneumatic dimpler comes with a 3" "C" yoke.

Which other yokes will I need or should have? Maybe a Longeron Yoke and/or a 4" Thin Nose Yoke with set holder and spring?

I’m building an RV-14.

Yes. I also found having access to a short (1.5”) yoke was helpful in a few locations building the empennage. Fortunately, a friend had one I could borrow. :D

Be forwarned using the 4" yoke you will most likely clench -3 rivets. ESPECIALLY if you're using the adjustable ram. If you're careful and using washers instead of the adjustable ram you can get decent work but the no hole 4 inch yoke is really the tool of last resort. I have had good success using it and my close quarters dimple die set to get decent dimples in flanges of ribs near trailing edges.
