Wooden handles? That must be a different style jack from the ones we have 
here known as the Jackall. They have always been a steel pipe handle as far 
as I know. A cheap alternative to WD40 is just to pour some diesel fuel onto 
the working mechanism and pins to keep them operating smoothly.
Its a little dark and cold to go out and take a picture of one so here is an 
image I found on the net of the  "Canadian Jackall".
