hydraulic jack
Pressure-powered lifting device
A hydraulic jack is a lifting device that uses fluid pressure to raise heavy loads.
A small piston pumps oil into a larger cylinder, where the pressure differential multiplies the force applied—allowing someone to lift a car with a few strokes of a handle.
Keep a hydraulic jack in your trunk for changing tires.
