Better take a look at the Judging Standards if you are going for fine point. After all, that's the final word.
With the 1989 standards, the jack handle is 39" long and had a stamped double-ended clip. Later, Judging Standards revision 4 dated 2016 describes not one, but two more versions, all 3 with the same number, A-17081-B! That revision shows the third version of the handle having the "figure eight" sliding joint, effective November '30, and the previous handles with the stamped clip were obsoleted. So, in order to have the correct version of the A-17081-B handle you must find the one applicable for the month and year of your car.
