I know a lot of us have floor or trolley jacks for our vehicles. A couple years ago, I was jacking up my truck and the pump handle socket broke off. I noticed the socket was fastened on by two hitch pins. The hitch pin (or pins) actually dislodged and fell out while I was pumping. The socket was bent beyond repair, so I bought a new trolley jack My current trolley jack has the same lousy hitch pins. I pulled on these pins and was surprised how they came out with very little force. The manual doesn't say anything about bending the hitch pins to tighten either. I attached a photo of the hitch pins. I removed those hitch pins tonight and replaced them with real cotter pins. I know these won't fall out. Suppose someone's car fell off the jack stands, and they couldn't raise their car in a hurry because the jack failed from a loosened hitch pin? Maybe this should go under the safety awareness forum.

My Dad always had one of these hammers and he called it a market hammer. They used it to open the crates of food products. It was the tool of choice at any food terminal distribution center and each truck driver had one. But I would like to know the official name of it.
