Oh, in that case, I don't know. Then again, I don't have one of those HF jacks. I only buy their cheap tools because I consider them 'throw-aways' and if they get me through a project, that's good enough for me. ;)

I use an HF. When I mounted it I allowed for folding room (wheel toward the trailer), but only just enough to fold it with the wheel against the frame. Then I tighten the wheel against the frame. I do this to keep the handle away from the ground and parallel to the frame. I never heard any rattles. :( 8) :shock: :twisted: :roll: :) :thumbdown:
