I was watching Drowned City last night and on there it was showing them building the jacks, now I know people might not want to explain everything on an open forum so feel free to PM me, but I wanted to know how they were actually locking it? I mean if you lower it say a couple of meters you can't lock it with the lock thats attached - how would this be done? Weld a really long pipe onto a key or are they just putting it in low enough you can reach in at arms length but make it difficult to remove with a crowbar etc.
Sorry if this sounds like I'm being a dumb cunt but it baffled me as they had long poles in the middle of the car.
Safe!

Re: Jacking into pipes
Hello Mr sarnie!
As you've probly seen? threaded universal plumb rod has been used many times with a key on the end!
it is lightweight and extendable! its all good when tightening a jack? but obviously risks couplers unscrewing when trying to retrieve the rig!

Re: Jacking into pipes
You couldnt use a plumb rod..... you plum 
It would twist and snap as you tighten the jack into the walls.
It a serious of steel rods or bar that fit together making one long bar with a car wheel locking piece welded to the end of it. The eye is cut off a car jack and the wheel locking nut welded on.

I purchased it in HD when it was released, if someone suggests a way of ripping it from the tesco app then I'll upload it

What he just said, also some have a plate built to fit size of the hole that is fitted on at top of the jack to stop thief's or anyone hitting at the jack arms with a pole, also helps if anyone pours or chucks anything down there, jacking can be hardwork but if you got the patience and the numbers to help do it, its the best way possible.-

Re: Jacking into pipes
you need to get hold of some shrinking dust from a magic elf then lower a partner down on a shoelace to turn the jack then pull him back up before the dust wears off
