My HF Jack does just fine.
To each their own.

 

When I don't want to use my HF Jack I have this guy come over.

 

Has worked well for me for years.

 

HF for me. Only use it couple times a year so I didn't see paying big bucks for one. With coupon was like $75.00. Seems sturdy enough to me, but I strap mine down just in case.

 

I asked the same question a month or so ago when I was looking for a Jack primarily to spin my bike around once inside the garage.

Knowing I'd be using it pretty often and After many votes for the J&S I bought it.
I've got to say that it's everything they say it is. The thing is simple to use, rolls around smoothly and the bike is rock solid on it.

Here's another vote for the J&S.

 

Just a quick note. I have the HF jack too. First thing I did was use several 1/2" washers to tighten up the loose framework. It made a huge difference in the stability of the jack. Also when lowering, hold the handlebar and jam down sharply on the release pedal. This allows the jack to lower the bike slowly.
I bought the HF jack and table lift instead of the J&S jack. It works for me.

I had a Sears Yellow, then a HF. Both eventually quit working. I now have J&S. I will say I think it is worth the money. Very stable. Nice to be able to move the bike around and really locks in place securely.

 

Won't trust a cheap Chinese jack to hold my $25k+ bike

 

I have the yellow sears jack and I think it is better under my 15 frame vs my 08 frame. I would say the more you plan to use your jack the more you should spend on one. You get what you pay for. I don't use mine a lot and it's great for me.
