Abstract

A lifting jack for automobiles has an extension arm with a particular fastener which may be used to connect longitudinally elongated tubular sections. A series of interlocking sections are provided which need not be identical (e.g. in particular having different ends). The sections are linked in a positive lock (snap fit) by a fastener having one or more resilient legs biasing a lug.
