Crank Top-Wind Jacks With Your Impact Wrench
You can eliminate manual cranking of almost any top-wind jack by replacing the handle with this new accessory that’s designed to accept a 1/2-in. impact wrench and socket.
  The ImpactApp was invented by Ralph Deshetsky of North Branch, Mich., and is now on the market. It’s made from cold-rolled steel and is zinc-plated. To install, just remove the crank handle and the 1/4-in. bolt and nut from the jack’s shaft, then place the ImpactApp on the shaft and bolt it on using a pair of holes provided.
  “Almost no effort is required,” says Deshetsky. “It takes an average of only 20 sec. to travel the stroke of the jack. It’s compatible with most all top-wind jacks and works great on everything from round balers to disks, hay rakes, and chisel plows as well as horse, snowmobile and camping trailers.”
  Two ImpactApp models are available depending on the jack’s shank diameter. The App1 has a 1/2-in. hole lengthwise, and the App2 has a 5/8-in. hole lengthwise. Both have a 1/4-in. cross hole.
  A package of 2 ImpactApps sells for $15 including S&H. “If you only need one, give the other one away and gain a lifetime friend,” says Deshetsky.
