Not sure if this is within budget but I got myself one of these and had only one niggle which is the meshing between the two release gears is a bit lumpy.

I also don't use it day in day out

Wow I remembered

it's 3' 2" from where it goes into the jack to the handle. It isn't a 'T' handle just a twist type

Cheers
