Chip is this a "big red" brand jack? Is it the steel one or the aluminum one?

This is the reason why I invested over $500 nearly 20 years ago in an AC Hydralics jack.
Hindsight being 20/20 and all. I had a jack fail while changing out wheels, drop the car and nearly pinned me.

Of course, I'm sorry to see this and thrilled no one was hurt... but, that said, mass-produced (not to mention cheap) mechanical devices ALL sometimes fail--ask Boeing of late.
Were this a common issue, even for this particular jack, class-action law suits would soon put HF out of business, at least as we know it.
Hang in there. "Stuff" is repairable or replaceable... always remember what isn't.

I also have a quickjack. I tend to use that the majority of the time but there are times when you need one end a lot higher than the other.
