Title: WTB - Hein Werner release knob
Post by: oldnslo on November 29, 2018, 12:57:27 PM

Remember the orange floor jacks? I need a release knob for the 1-1/2 ton (fits others as well), looks like this.

Thanks, tho I do believe those long chassis jacks take a different shaped knob as shown here. The OE style I seek is NLA, and after quite a few calls to various new and used dealers, its been a needle in a haystack search with no luck.

Would something like a handle off a gate valve or similar work? Might not look proper on a restored jack though.

Thanks for the suggestions. The jack came with a homemade version, so it's workable as-it. OnS is all about OEM, so I'll continue the search.

Its not like I only have one of these!!! :)

I can tell you this, like a Hein-Werner jack, they are real quality.
 About 2 years back got the Hein-Werner 3 ton... Man, wish I could come up with the words and phrasing to describe how slick the valving works raising and lowering a car.

 The only other floor jack I'd ever consider now is the Milwaukee, however @ 800 +, pretty sure I will never need one. 

Just saying

What is the square size, diameter, length, etc? No promises.

My old junk phone doesn't do videos well anymore. It's getting time to upgrade to a new wiretap.
