here's a bunch of them together at my nursery. i just really like how they look. i wish i knew more about them. are any of these good? collectible? i have more, but i am using them in some sculptures i made.
I love industrial art like these jacks. I have a few scattered around here getting nicely rusted!
I love these jacks! You are a Jack of all trades!
thank you racer4four, toracat, and eye4beauty! jack of all trades! that's me!
My neighbour bought 4 of them at a yard sale identical to your yellow one. I routinely ask to borrow them for various projects - including a recent lift on the corner of a sagging outbuilding to block it up.
I trust a screw-jack much more than the hydraulic ones, but the turning action on the screw can sometimes impede its location of use. I keep offering to buy at least one (or two!) from my neighbour but he won't sell. At least I get to use 'em whenever I want!
I'd say they're collectible and still very useful for their intended purpose.
I have 3 2 car 1 train still use them better than the hydraulic ones.
thanks ralph, and you to Kydur! very interesting!
