Am I the only one who finds the standard jack handle difficult to use. I find it really difficult to use. The crank needs to be at least another 6" longer. In my opinion.

Would seem it is only me that has weaker muscles. Mind I am getting weaker generally.

I'm guessing not many people use the standard jack... I know I save mine for emergencies only.

Maybe you should invest in a trolley jack

Never used mine... the only time i had a puncture i was at home, so used th trolley.

I need a new trolley, as i found out my current one only lifts the jimny about 30mm off the deck at full reach. I tend to drive it up onto some blocks if i'm underneath it with the wheels on

Unfortunately my jack was missing, presume lost in action , when I bought my Jimny, so I don't know what it even looks like. I carry a landr***r bottle jack out of a 1990 RR vogue SE I scrapped (the jack was the only bit worth keeping, rust had got the rest of it). Only downside is it tends to disapear into the ground rather than lift the Jimny off road, yes I know I need to carry a piece of wood! I have a trolley jack in the garage.

I have a 4 tonne bottle jack too that sits in my box of bits.. I have the standard jack too but the bottle back is far more trustworthy
