Electric jack with detachable remote control

An electric jack comprising:

• a tool body comprising:
• an electric motor;
• a screw drive mechanism operatively coupled to the electric motor;
• an actuating platform configured to be moved linearly by the screw drive mechanism;
• a rechargeable battery;
• a wireless communication interface;
• a control module comprising a housing, a controller, directional controls, a power control interface, a transceiver, and a docking interface configured to releasably couple to the tool body, wherein the control module is communicatively coupled to the electric motor through the wireless communication interface,
• wherein when coupled to the tool body, the control module physically serves as a handle for one-handed operation of the electric jack,
• wherein the tool body comprises a power control interface for use when the control module is coupled, wherein the tool body does not include directional controls,
• wherein the controller comprises a processor and a memory, wherein the controller is configured to execute instructions stored in the memory through the processor, said instructions operate the electric motor when detecting manipulation of both the directional controls and at least one of:
• the power control interface of the tool body and the power control interface of the control module, and
• wherein the control module provides remote operation of the electric jack when decoupled from the tool body.
