So we're closing on a new house the middle of next month and I'm out in the garage from hell trying to sort stuff out ( theClean Sweep show style: Keep Sell and toss piles) for the big move. I stumble across that POS Crapsman quick lift jack that broke a while back (this was discussed here a week or so ago). I figure I'll give it one last chance before it hits the curb and the handle becomes a very expensive cheater bar. It always worked funny but it was leaking now when you tried to raise it. Futher investingation I found it to be an o-ring on one of the adjusment srews. Easy fix, but now I needed more oil. I topped it off and burped it. Now came the fun of trying to push that stupid little plug back in. I go it but dumb-ass me didn't lower the saddle all the way down before doing this. So standing over it I push it down, man thats tight! BOOM plugs goes flying, jack oil everywhere!!! At that point I pretty much had it! The garage is an absalute mess, and that plug could have went anywhere. I looked all over for about 5 minutes getting more pissed as I went. I gave up and went in the house to pout. I came back out just a little while ago to do something else and just caught the little bugger out of the corner of my eye. I put it back in and got it somewhat working again :) So it will live another day, which is a good thing because with the new house, i'm gonna be more broke than usual for at least a year!
