Maybe a much smaller amount of turn would do it. If I turn my old Halfords handle by a
tiny amount (1-2mm, barely a touch) the jack comes down very slowly. If I turn it any more than that, it'll come crashing down at an alarming rate of knots.

What about lowering speed - can it be made to come down very slowly?

A twin piston pump means fast lifting under complete control, and a built in rubber pad on the saddle.
Not the lightest unit, but robust

Aluminium, very nice. A bit too dear for me though (well, a lot too dear
).
