Crank Jack
A Crank Jack Product Dissection
Crank jacks are used in the automotive industry as car jacks that are typically found in trunks of vehicles and can be used to lift one or more wheels.
Many jacks feature a “drop leg”, which lowers the bottom of the jack closer to the ground before starting its descent. This saves power–both manual and electric.
Early Life and Education
Jack was raised in Norvelt, Pennsylvania as the oldest of three siblings. At times he felt left out, so instead spent most of his time reading and writing.
He enrolled at Choate, a boarding school for teenage boys, where his social life flourished with numerous sports teams such as football and basketball, plus humiliating membership of Bluebird reading group.
At high school, he decided to become a writer. While spying on his low supervision neighbors’ activities and documenting their eccentric behaviors, he began writing stories incorporating these anecdotes. Furthermore, his children’s music is research-based and teacher approved to assist children in meeting important state, national, and early childhood standards.
Professional Career
Your trailer’s jack is one of the most crucial aspects of RVing, so when it isn’t performing as it should you can run into all sorts of problems – be it as minor as not enough hydraulic fluid or more serious such as an internal safety valve that has activated. Luckily, this power tongue jack features a manual crank handle so that if your batteries die you still have access to this piece of hardware. Installation takes only 15 minutes! This product would make an excellent solution for weight distribution hitches.
Personal Life
Through this product dissection we were able to gain valuable insight into the design, materials, and manufacture of the jack. Constructed entirely of sheet steel, its assembly involves stamping and bending pieces reducing manufacturing costs significantly and permitting greater purchases of raw material for cost savings to our company.
User input involves rotating a crank which activates a threaded rod to lift, thus lifting the car jack off its frame and onto it securely. In order to use it effectively, users need to kneel next to their car depending on lighting conditions; furthermore they must not rotate the crank too quickly as this could break it and require another way of lifting their vehicle.

Through our product dissection we were able to gain valuable insights into how this device operates mechanically. Most components are stamped or bent sheet steel to minimize raw material requirements; additionally, parts were designed symmetrically so they could be produced using identical dies during manufacture.
User input includes rotating a crank arm to cause vertical motion of a threaded rod and lift their car for tire change.
Early 2000s saw the band shift their musical style toward more summery tunes from A-ha’s “Take on Me”, Queen’s “Another One Bites the Dust”, or KC and the Sunshine Band’s “Give It Up”. By late ’90s Laura Martin left and Francisco Gutierrez (known by his stage name Franky Gee) took over her duties.
