Default Do they make bottle jacks to use horizontally?

A C-clamp or any type of clamp that clamps OUTWARD. *In some cases, a

Harbor Freight is your friend.

12" Ratching Bar Clamp/Spreaderhttp://www.harborfreight.com/12-inch-ratchet-bar-clamp-spreader-46807...

For bigger stuff, an old fashioned, ratching, bumper jack should move things
along nicely.

The "Jaws of Life" kit probably has attachements that would work, too.


Thanks. I knew I had seen the HF one somewhere.
