Can someone ID this, are they date coded on body anywhere? Was found as part of a caravan tool kit.

TIA,

Jaso.

I think maybe a date on the base . Some get worn off . Cheers Paul.Actually on second look ,that doesn’t look like the one I have , base is different and that bit on the side.

Looks like Holden commercial.

Thanks, im not sure if this jack may have came out of a HQ wagon, the parents owned?

Is the single one piece crank handle specific to commercial only - or other models too.

My EH has a folding two piece handle.
And my torana has one also, but dont beleive the two piece handle is right for torana.

From memory HQ passenger was a ball head scissor jack that lifted under the sills. HQ-WB commercials had a folding handle that went through a hole in the beaver to operate the spare wheel winch. The jack had that little point under the drive wheel so you could push/pull it under the car with the handle. The jack looks similar to HQ-WB but not identical, may be earlier commercial? The handle may be fabricated.

Looks like a Torana handle? My HX panno had very similar but the handle may have been two piece.

Looks like the jack that was in my mother's EH wagon except that had a folding handle.
