This is freakin cool!

Wow!

I've seen that before. It is still cool every time I see it. I like the foot release pedal for the jack. All my bottle jacks have the twist screw. I wonder how he modified the jack.

I was wondering about the foot release also.

That is awesome.
I wonder how easy it is to shatter the ball if you pump the jack too much? I found one in the woods once and dropped it on a rock and it split in half. Seems like they can be fragile.

Take out the screw and maybe use something like a schrader valve? I'm not sure, but I do know its cool..... maybe he made a plunger with a spring and sleeve....

Very cool, but like others I wonder how long that bowling ball will hold up

Their was a big thread on here years ago about this. If your better at search then me you could find it.

Here is the older thread on the same bowling ball fixture table.

FYI HF motorcycle lifts have jacks with a foot release.

The valves are a needle and seat type arrangement. That set up doesn't look overly complicated, its effectively just lever operation replacing screw operation. I can't see any rocket surgery in there anywhere.

i saw that on facebook yesterday. That thing is cool. You can probably mount a vise on something like that too.

I saw that before but it's still high on the cool factor.
