unusual little 1.5 ton jack
Saw this little cutie recently when I was looking to buy something else. The guy
sold me this jack and also a 6 ton hydraulic bottle jack for the princely sum of $5US, wish he'd had 20 of 'em. This is a 1.5 ton screw jack which stands 5" tall when closed, and which extends just about 6", a feat accomplished by the use of a telescoping ram. I haven't cleaned it up yet (and may never, it works perfectly and boy my shop queue is centuries long already) but this one is destined to be in my working museum of cool old US-made shop stuff: http://www.tinyisland.com/images/temp/potScrewJack.jpg http://www.tinyisland.com/images/tem...ckExtended.jpg Grant Erwin Kirkland, Washington |

It looks very much like a Toyota or Datsun jack. The last two Nissan PUs I've owned came with similar jacks, but not as squat. F'rinstance... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=8044528348 Ned Simmons No, I'm not sure, in fact now that you mention it NBK stands for Nabeya Bi-tech Kaisha, an old Japanese company, so this probably is an old Toyota bottle jack. It's *still* cool, even if it isn't as unusual as I'd thought. GWE Next time Im in the wrecking yard..Ill hit some of the old Toyotas. I can think of a dozen ways to use a lil shorty jack like this, just for doing welding on the table alone. Grab me the handle setup when you're in there, Gunner, I'll pick it up my next trip south ..

That's neat. I think the Toyota identification may well be right. I
recall a friend having a similar jack for his beat-up '80s Toyota truck (although the jack was yellow). It also reminds me of one of my finds. This is part of a laboratory hydraulic press. I saved it to make into a new press because I thought it was neat, but so far I haven't got round to it. Now this I am 99% sure is made in the USA: http://www.mythic-beasts.com/~cdt22/carver1.jpg http://www.mythic-beasts.com/~cdt22/carver2.jpg http://www.mythic-beasts.com/~cdt22/carver3.jpg Best wishes, Chris |
