One of the biggest drawbacks of using the air/hyd jack has been the time it takes to close the valve and grab the air valve to supply air to the jack.
Here's my solution.
I found a solenoid controled valve for an air horn that has 1/4 in npt fittings. I set it up to replace the vavle that comes with the jack.
I made a switch and mounted it on the t handle right where you can depress it with one finger.The solenoid operates off a 12 volt power supply.
I need to insulate the switch from the handle as it will give you a little zap bare handed. Wear gloves
As you close the jack valve for the next press depress the switch and you are pressing. Almost instantly.
Let's hear your thoughts.
