It actually works surprisingly well, IMO, especially when compared to a
scissors jack.  Not as good as a hydraulic trolley jack of course, but who
wants to carry one of those out on the road?  After getting an original
jack, I promptly relegated my scissors jack to the junk box, and haven't
used it since.

I didn't either, until relatively recently.  However, the hex is a standard
Whitworth size, and the force required is relatively low, so an open-end
wrench works reasonably well.  I forget the size offhand, but it's in my
Whitworth set. 

Or a adjustable wrench will do, in a pinch.

Personally I would not want to rule out using an original jack, but that's
just my opinion.
