[Shop-talk] Hydraulic Ram Kit

[Steven Trovato]

Back before everything was made in China, we would refer to this 
device as a "porta-power".  I was an EMT and this was used to open 
the doors of crunched cars.  I'm not sure of the actual origin of the 
tool, but I did find something you should find useful.  Check out:
