I've used the Johnson type, wooden handled with 2 cast iron wheels. It's one
of those very effective basic tool designs of yesteryear. I suppose the
wheels help prevent slippage, in the way that wheels on a floor jack allow
it to move as the load is lifted.

Maybe Johnson bar contributed to the expression
A real man would lift that with his dick
