   Farm Jack, Off Road Jack, Wagon Jack, (The Kleenex name is Hi-Lift Jack).   
      
   Lots of people make them with the most famous being Hi-Lift, the most   
   common probably being Harbor Freight, and the crappiest probably being   
   Reese.  Most of us know what they are, and those of us who have one (or   
   more) have probably used them for some pretty sketchy stuff.   
      
   I was using one yesterday to lift up a big heavy steel work bench to   
   slide a furniture dolly under two of the legs, and I thought it would   
   sure be handy if somebody welded a hook or a ring on the two cross pins   
   to make it easier to pull out the pin that should click out on its own   
   but doesn't because the jack is dirty, stained, and grungy from the last   
   job and rarely gets maintained.  On my last truck I used to keep a can   
   of silicone dry lube in the tool box just to spray down the action of   
   the jack when I needed it.   
      
   Now I am sure somebody would get pinched putting their finger near the   
   mechanism, and some real genius would find away to pull the p[in out   
   that's supporting the lad and kill somebody, but it sure would be handy   
   if there was a hook of a ring welded to those two cross pins so I   
   wouldn't have to stop mid job with me keeping the load from falling by   
   pushing with my knee and go find some cleaner and some lube for the jack.
