John, that looks like the one I use, though it is just orange painted
steel. I have had it for fifteen or 20 year. It is an excellent jack.

It is just big enough to do the job on a vanagon.

When you twist the handle to release the valve to lower the car, it's
pretty aggressive. You have to be careful to ease th car down, otherwise
you twist it loose and it will drop.

I don't know if more expensive jacks have a more graceful valve (never used
one), but as Pat said, for the price I can--and have done so--live with the
problem.
