    Purchased large snap-on collection. Please help

    You may get a general idea of what stuff brings researching on fleabay. I've noticed people are paying stupid $$ on Hi-bid auctions for some rougher Snap-on stuff that in my opinion is bringing more than it should or would fetch otherwise like in person or like on Craiglist. If I were going to...

    I lost a leg...

    Just a thought but is corrosion or a bad connection at the lug a possibility if the aluminum wasn't greased? I just had one leg on a dryer outlet this fall (copper)that was tight but slightly black oxidized that wasn't conducting. Cleaned it and all was well.

    Studs 24" On Center?

    I built a 26 x 40 with 2x6's on 24" centers and the 1/2" sheathing cupped so much I had to put in blocking to straighten the cupping. Should have went 16" centers to begin with.

    I have the 2 ton version that my boy absconded then returned to me in non working condition. I haven't bothered looking at it as it's way down on the priority list but I always liked it and will rebuild it someday if the parts are still available. I still have and use the Sears jump starter...
