Meet Philip John Harrah. This is his 1905 invention, the Automatic Combination Tool (aka Handyman and Hi-Lift Jacks). 4 and 5 generations later, the company is still owned by the same Harrah family, and still produced out of the same factory in Bloomfield, Indiana. 🇺🇸

Wouldn't be without at least one of 'em in the truck at all times. Dangerous as can be, but ever-so-handy. Thanks for the interesting history, 330.

Yes Very Dangerous, even being careful, they can still get you!
Especially when they are getting a little worn out.

I have one I use at the lake for raising my fish house off the ice. Amazingly powerful what they can lift.


Must be nice to eat ice cream as fast as you want and not have to worry about brain freeze.
