Unfortunately not an awesomely affordable tool.

Mine cost $10, plus about $50 for rebuilding. I haven't seen one that
actually works sell at an auction for under $125.

I ordered a crank-up Vestil from Northern when I was at Segway to lift
them up to benchtop height. It worked well and didn't leak oil on the
lab floor, of course, but the ratchet mechanism was louder than the
whole production line.
