Brad … I’ve been on the MOC several years and haven’t asked many questions unless I wanted to know something for my benefit as well as for others that are interested in my question. We all buy things and later have buyer's remorse. I wanted to know if there was any “snap pad” remorse here on the MOC. Frankly I’m satisfied with the responses from both sides.

I’ll also go as far as to beg to differ with you on what snap pads and wood do as to function. They both provide a larger foot print and they both somewhat cushion the foundation for the hydraulic rams. As for the 1-1/8” number … for conversations sake, I loped off the hexagon points and went with the advertised 9” dia for standard feet and 11” dia for “snap pads”. (Put a 9" circle squarely inside an 11" circle and what do you have all the way around ... about 1") And yes I can calculate what percentage of area that is.
