Another vote for the J&S Jack, very well built and very stable. I have complete confidence in this jack.

BUT, When I first received, I had to call J&S and tell them something was missing from the box....... the guy said what was missing, I said the girl in the pictures and I expected that box, he was laughing so hard I think he pissed himself...

As I have posted before I have over the years owned both the J&S and a Pitbull along with a Blackjack, which is no longer in business. I sold the Blackjack and the J&S and kept the Pitbull due to the Pitbull having the rotating deck. I turn the bike to the end of the lift and have no obstructions while working, which I like. But that being said, the J&S is better designed and more rigid. I just liked the swivel deck well enough that I kept the Pitbull. NOTE: the test pitbull in the video didn't have the rotating deck in case someone reading this is unfamiliar with the product line Pitbull sells a deck that replaces the upper support arms that rotates 360 degrees. It also adds a little rigidity to the unit as it's lower plate locks the two sides of the lift together solidly.

+1 I love the 360 degree spin.  I park the bike in front of my truck and I use the turntable to clean the bike.  great feature.

Just buy a table lift and cut the crete

And then mount it on the ceiling. Don't forget the tie downs either way

My gas cap would leak like that.  I think the tunes would spill out of the radio too.

Nice ceiling tiles.

the harbor freight jack is the one I grabbed Saturday and it blew the seal on the pump right has I was trying to lift,
took it right back

the lift in the floor is what I really want but it would actually need to be on a giant Lazy Susan so you drive in and spin and lift
but I'm sure your garage with the fancy floor as a circular drive with "entrance and Exists! out of Beverly Hills! nice

will check out the J&S

I got my lock down bolts today. Three of them. Only uses two so I got an extra now.
Even when moving they came through.
I don't use the turntable as it blocks draining fluids. Although I now have one of the fancy Harley low drain pans maybe I will put it back on if it takes some play out of it.

As we all know, Harbor Freight stuff is junk....much less lifting a M C on there jack....

Thinking it would be easy to drain the oil tho.....

Wonder if PitBull is closing their store up near Land Between the Lakes.

I think as a general statement this is not accurate. I have a HF table lift and use it frequently. Have had many bikes on this lift over the past 5 years and not one problem. I also have their earthquake 1/2" impact gun and sockets. That gun has out performed many IR guns I've had. True some of their stuff is junk but not all.
I also have a craftsman yellow jack which is a heavier duty cycle jack. Paid 189.00 for it and it works great. Not sure if they make anymore though.

Check out this site, look for the harbor freight pass or fail thread.

It's been posted before, but after watching this, how can you NOT go with J&S?

[Indenial]

Nice video. Makes sense to me. What's the cost difference?
