How to Make a Floor Jack Handle Cover
Mark SimpsonDescription
The floor jack is a must-have tool in any classic car garage. However, they can also pose a potential hazard to your car as well. Here’s a tip to help keep your car safe.
You're gonna be sliding your jack around your car quite a bit. When you're working on it, the uh handle can, you know, easily damage your paint, either when sliding it under or sometimes the handle can fall back and actually hit your car. It's a good idea to put some kind of cover on the handle just to prevent damage to your automobile. The uh types you can use just about anything for a cover. I've known guys that have used rollbar, uh insulation.
You can also use pipe insulation. I used pool noodles before, you know, just about anything that you can slide down over the handle. Now, when you bring that jack in your car, you don't have to worry about damaging it.
Great Idea !! When I have to jack up my antique, all the framework is so far under I keep hittiong the body, so I wrapped a towel around the jack handle and all I could do was 1/2 jack because of the height disappearing from the towel. Thanks for the idea, i'll use it tomorrow.
Nice
