Great Hi-Lift tip..

We all should know about the pin for the base, well here is a new one.. I had to use my handle as a breaker bar on day and lost that stupid cotter pin that holds it in place.. I could not find one that worked good and stayed in place.. So I improved it!! I drilled the hole slightly bigger and ran a 6mm tap through the hole.. Now I have a nice stainless steel 6mm pan head screw in place.. It can not fall out, and can be removed easy again and again... Looks a lot better too!

Good call. I might try something like that because I hate how my handle rattles around so much.

It will not help the rattle.. all I did was to change the cotter in to a bolt (with a threaded hole in the handle) I think I am going to buy an allan bolt for it (I think the smaller rounded head will look a lot better)

For the rattle, try pipe insulation slid over the handle for storage
