I had the displeasure of using the standard HQ jack yesterday (in a storm) and found it very inadequate. I had to use all my muscle laying on the ground for leverage to wind the thing up. I can't think this is normal? It is (what I call) the scissor type that is diamond shaped.
I am used to the ht and hj bottle type with the 3 stage screw lift which is easy.

Attn camry drivers. The accelerator is the skinny pedal on the right. |

It probably does need an oil, that probably makes a difference, yes, it did get easier as it went up, but still don't reckon those of the fairer... Err.. type would have got it off the ground oiled or not.
