[AT] Trailer jack question

[Larry Goss]

OH PAIN AND AGONY!  

We have one of those non-swivelling jacks on a festival booth at our church.  It takes "forever" to get it out of the way or into use.

A good friend has one of the same style on the trailer he tows tractors on, and at some time in its life he hit an obstacle with it and bent the whole thing backwards at about 30 degrees.  One of these days, I expect it to buckle.
