Looked at those Clarkes jacks before, many thanks lads.
Whilst lifting well and being stable and dependable enough i found the release valve to be a bit too on/off switch (my lads one has this type of mechanism and can drop like a stone), my present jack you have to pull the handle and twist slightly to engage the eccentric shape onto the release valve, in practice this means you can minutely control lowering to fractions of an inch when needed with fingertip effort, the odd wipe of grease on the shaft has kept it fine.
edit, haven't been to a local auction for ages Tom, might be worth sending the gaffer there, she loves poke nosing about..:-)
