[Healeys] jacks

[Len and/or Marge Hartnett]

Dr. R.:  Electric.  Central Hydraulics, Electric Scissor Jack, 12 volt, 2 
ton capacity.  Model 95851.  Minimum unit height: 4 3/4 inches; Maximum 
lifting height:  13 1/2 inches,  Overall dimensions: 15 1/2 L, 6 1/4 W, 4 H; 
weight 12 pounds.  Only physical effort needed is getting it in and out of 
the trunk and pushing the buttons on the corded remote.

Where to buy?  Last one I saw was at Harbor Freight.  Walmart had them at 
one time.  I have seen them in catalogs.  I am going out to various car 
parts stores today and will add this to my list of things to look for.
