I built a spreader out of plate steel and turnbuckles. It works ok. Seems to me
that there must be a reason to use them. A few I took apart just lifted out. I
suspect that the housings are weakened by multiple forced removals. Can't say
that I've seen a problem with one regardless.
Greg,
I now have a proper case spreader if you ever need one. It came with #67.
