The way I see it as I have a motorcycle that I have wayyyy over $20 K in.
I am not giong use a POS like a pep boys or red sears, or any sears on it, period.
Another push for Pitbull or J & S Jacks.
You get what you pay for.

 

I bought mine from Harbor freight had a 20 % discount on it paid 55.00 for it, and works great.

 

A friend of mine has the PEP Boys jack. While they may look similar to the Craftsman red jack the lifting arms on the PB jack are not as far apart as the Craftsman jack. Which means it's not as stable.

 

I don't get why people always say I spent 20k on a bike and I won't use a $75 whatever. What in the he!! does how much one spends on an item have to do with how much they spend on a tool. If you are looking at proportion shouldn't you spend $1000 on the hammer you use on your $300000 house, or is a $15 one good enough? If it works, you don't need to have it made out of gold.

I will sell $1000 hammers to those of you who want to continue to use that logic. They will be yellow, not red.

 

Very good response..
Many 40+ thousand dollar cars come with a very basic inexpensive looking jack.
AND if for some reason someone wanted to purchase a new car jack from the dealer it would cost a nut. Price does not equate to quality 100% of the time.
