My friend took home 20 boxes of books, and I took home ten boxes of
books,
an unused 2"-6" hole gage still sealed in the plastic in the original
box, a
3/8 torque wrench new unused (cheap import), a 36 or 40 inch wood lathe,
most of the parts of a tool grinder, some other misc tools, a sausage
stuffer, a few cherry picked books, a couple presses that I have no idea
what they are for, and a big yellow metal box that I think is some kind
of
spot welder.

The house is still so pack with stuff it doesn't look like we removed
anything. I doubt if we looked at 5% of what is there.

The big yellow box says Eagle 2000 on the side of it and its heavy. One
lead has a magnetic clamp and the other has a solid copper electrode with
a
big D-handle and a trigger button. There is a timer on the front of the
big
yellow box.


Perhaps it's a stud welder. Auto body people use them to weld studs
onto the sheetmetal, screw a slide-hammer puller onto the stud, and
pull the dent out.


Maybe. It doesn't appear to have the hole in the end I have seen for stud
welders in the past, but it could have been mashed shut I suppose. Its a
good idea to consider at the least.
