Default how many times have you had to RUN for the wash mitt after your little girl dropped it, picked it up

Default dont use the factory widowmaker jack! buy the aluminum harbor freight jack for $80 ... its awesome
it works great, and its aluminum so its lightweight<ul><li><a href="http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=91039">http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=91039</a</li></ul>

go ahead and start up a poll... do you blame your hammer when you hit your thumb when nailing?
