[AT] Handiman /Hallman

[Ralph Goff]

Just to confuse things further, even though the U.S. handiman jack looks 
pretty well identical to our Canadian Jackalls I see that ours are made by 
the J.C. Hallman company of Kitchener , Ontario. Standard colours seem to be 
red for the base and moving parts and blue for the I beam. I was surprised 
to discover that I have four of them. Three are Hallmans Jackalls and the 
other is a different name that I have forgotten in the time it took me to 
get back to the house. Anyway, it is a good enough copy of the Hallman that 
for all these years I thought it was one. :-)j
