Agreed!!!!!

So now we have the guy who had to come here
asking about a bottle jack that would work sideways
calling me a moron. And I'm the one that found him
the bottle jack in 10 seconds on Google and provided
the first reply solving his problem. So much for thanks.

As for Steve B:

" I googled
horizontal jack, and it is like being hit by a haystack. A ton of
worthless
crap that one has to sift through to find just what it is one is
looking
for. I just posted a post asking the question if a jack that works in
the
horizontal position looks anything different than a regular one. I
looked
at about ten sites, and I could not find one that had that tidbit of
information. I'm busy. I don't want to sift hay for an hour. I
like
having a forum where one can ask a common question, and then not get
smart
assed remarks, just the facts. "


I used google and found the jack at harbor freight in about
10 seconds. So, I'd say the problem isn't google. It's just
that google is too sophisticated a tool for Steve.
And then you have to love this from him too:

" I like having a forum where one can ask a common
question, and then not get smart assed remarks,
just the facts. "


I provided the facts. I found a bottle jack that works
horizontally. Steve is the one in the forum with the
smart assed remarks that have nothing to do with the
question.

Who's the moron now, moron?

I tried Ebay. *That was a bigger joke. *90% of what I found was Jack
Daniels bottles!!!!

Like you, I dont care to waste my time searching thru piles of online
rubbish, and for that matter, I'd prefer to avoid shopping online. *Yet,
I have not found any jacks that say "horizontal use" in the local big
box or hardware stores.

And while we're at it. *I'm still looking for the other kind of tool. *A
C-clamp or any type of clamp that clamps OUTWARD. *In some cases, a
bottle jack is just not feasible to use. *Why is it that all clamps are
made to clamp inward?
