Hi
While at KOSH I was in the market for a few tools. I did see the Cleaveland Tools tungsten bucking bar: See http://www.cleavelandtoolstore.com/prodinfo.asp?number=BBT41
This gem weighs 1.7 lbs and is very small. I have spent a few hours riveting with it and found that it is much more stable than steel bars. I guess this is because it easier to get more mass behind the rivet. It size lets it get into some very tight spots. At a $120, it is worth every penny.
Another thing I picked up was the quick change chuck along with the #30, # 40 and Jacobs Chuck adapter. See http://www.cleavelandtoolstore.com/prodinfo.asp?number=QC65 for info. This is even better
than having two drills has you can change drill bits faster than you change air lines.
Cheers

Tungsten in raw dimension is going for $3.50 to $4.50 per ounce – on Ebay. The Yard Store, in their latest catalog has an entire page devoted to milled “finish dimension” tungsten bucking bars at a substantial cost increase per ounce. It pays to have a friend with a mill.

I have to agree with Les that those tungsten bucking bars are totally great. And at the stated price of $4.50 per ounce, the $120 being charged by Cleaveland for a 1.7 pound bucking bar is cheaper than milling one yourself.
The best thing is that because of the small size, you can fit the tungsten bucking bar just about everywhere. I use mine almost exclusively.
