Description

A “dual” action screw jack to support a GPU or other sagging things. There are 2 premade sizes, Short (2.5" to 4.25") and Long (4" to 7.5"). The concept behind this is two different bolts, a traditional right hand thread bolt and a left hand thread bolt. This allows the jack to be adjusted without rotating the faces that touch the object being supported. That way you can adjust the amount of support/distance more easily without the jack moving around. The hex portion has a identifier mark to indicate the side that is left hand threaded. If you really needed to you could use a 5/8" wrench to adjust this jack.

Just as a reminder this is a light duty plastic screw jack and is not ment to bear any real weights.

Replying to @Robjohnsilvers :

there wat this plastic tubeshaped stuff in there with the cables and two plastic places where screws go - guy screwed in a too big one and ruined these. so i put this print inside horizontally, made it to stick there strong and hang the lamp on it - petg of course!
