Does anyone have a picure of an original 'Bugeye' jack rachet handle??, or
better yet does anyone have a spare they would like to part with??
I have two early 'sprite' jacks, one BTC, and the other 'King Dick'. they are
almost identical A-frame types, with very slight differences in the base. The
BTC base is made up of three separate pieces welded together at the bottom,
while the 'King Dick' uses a single U-channel piece at the bottom of the
A-frame. I also have two 'King dick' lug nut wrenches that go with each Jack,
but I'm missing the rachet handles.
