Yes, the valve opens with a turn of the handle and the jack will begin to lower. The more you turn the quicker it will fall, so you have to be careful when lowering, but that's like any jack like this. This makes it convenient to lower the car while standing clear.

answer 3
YES!!! A u-joint with a square shaft is located in the bottom of the jack's receiver that the handle slips into and mates with the square shaft. The handle has a collar, on the end that mates with the shaft, that also has a grove on it's outside that allows for a short threaded bolt. that is in the jack's receiver. to protrude into the handle's grove. The grove is deeper than the bolt protrudes, thus allowing the handle to turn and operate the u-joint connected to the release valve. This allows for the jack ro be pulled around by it's handle while operating the valve with just a twist of the handle. Works better than any I've tried.

It is a u-joint connection between the handle and the release valve. You turn the handle counter clock-wise to lower the jack. It provides good control.
