My friend built me a lifter like this, because he was sick of me calling him over to setup games. It's super handy because he also built in holders for my sockets needed to remove the legs and drive the jack, so everything is always handy. It also works great for adjusting the game level.

I wish would have bought THIS wire stripper years ago. For some reason I always though this style cost a lot more then $20.
Finally, just for fun, here is the tool I don't own (personally), but should probably add to my pinball toolbox.
