I use mine all the time for cleaning and maintenance. I don't know what I would do if I had to clean these wheels without it

I know a lot of shops use Handy lift tables, I am wondering about the Handy jack? The Handy Moto-Roll Jack packs the lifting power of a scissor lift into a compact design. With a 1500-lb. capacity, it allows easy accessibility for making repairs, wheel removal, oil changes, and basic maintenance. The 16" long by 17" wide support platform will accommodate any motorcycle.
The Moto-Roll Jack has three different locking safety heights, so you choose the working height that's best for your job! The frame pads measure 16" long by 17" wide with a 13" clearance in between. Coated with durable wrinkle black and gray powder coat, the Moto-Roll Jack has vinyl-plastisol dipped "frame supports" to prevent scratching your project, plus keeps it from slipping off the jack.
The removable jack handle makes moving your jack and motorcycle around the shop a breeze. The four 3" phenolic wheels with roller bearings keep your shop floor looking its best.
If your garage is short on space, look no further than the superior stability and mobility offered by the Moto-Roll Jack from Handy,Its American made. Best part it lifts to 21"

I can assure you that you will not be disappointed with the J&S, I have been very satisfied with mine. I can't speak about how well the Pitbull works because I have never used one. I have seen them and from my research they are equally as good. My decision came down to Pitbull and J&S in no particular order. J&S got the nod because it was one model that would lift the Dyna as well as other bikes where as with PitBull I had to get the Dyna specific jack. I decided to get the one that could handle the Dyna and anything else down the road.

Yes to both but it's easier to move the jack around the garage without a bike on it if you have the T handle.

That's exactly the reaction that the producers of the video wanted.



It's obvious that the video's intention is to highlight the JS Jack.
That's not to say that JS Jack isn't a fine product but if you're buying it based on the video you're being a bit naive.

I'm sure the JS jack will work just fine.
As for me; I'll keep my Sears yellow jack and $100 Redline dolly.

I based my decision basically on the ease of rolling it on a not so flat surface as my garage floor isn't perfect , and also because of my dyna . I wish I could have researched a lot more before buying my yellow Craftsman since I still had to buy the HD Dyna jack pads . I only lifted the bike once and was not comfortable with how stable the bike was , so I ended up changing the oil and polishing the wheels on the ground . And that was the basic reason I bought the jack in the 1st place .

The pit bull and J&S are both awesome jacks....the rotating table on the pit bull is the cats meow...however the pit bull is a HUGE footprint and takes up a ton of space that I just don't have so I landed on the J&S and have never looked back. I did not get the T-handle and it hasn't been an issue whatsoever moving the thing around in my garage. The oil pan is great too but is a very tight fit. IT was worth every penny to me. I dont think you can go wrong with either jack though...its more how much room you have to store the thing when not in use...as I can't stand having something as big as the pit bull sitting on my garage floor all summer when I am not using it....
