Nope, not the most exciting of subjects, but Bottle Jacks always make me smile ! Why ? Because they remind me of growing up on my Father's farm as a child. He had one one, and yes, its still present and working correctly 30 years later. Its the oldest item still on the farm and is in my eyes an heir loom of sorts. Even better though is the fact that these intensely strong simple jacks are still being sold today. I find myself wanting to buy a new one now, just so I can look at it in my shed. Im getting sentimental again ...My simple enthusiasm for mundane items is often mistaken as sarcasm.
