One other note - One thing I did to prevent rust and make lube'ing easier on my former CrappiJacs -
(Disclaimer--if you don't like my idea don't blast me too horribly bad, it worked for me.)
I drilled an 1/8" hole right in the eyeball of the CrappiJac sticker on each jack, then regularly doused it with WD40. That helped A LOT. I would squirt until I saw it come out the bottom of the leg. They would run much smoother and quieter after that.
Then covered the hole with one of those tin-roof type screws with the built-in little gasket on 'em to seal the hole.
