Default Anybody Use the Harbor Freight Lift Table?

Typically I stay away from most Harbor Freight stuff but I have seen some good reviews on the lift tables they sell. They are not anything I would use in a commercial shop but your average joe screwing around in his garage they might be ok.

Thoughts? Air or Manual pump?

Anyone have actual experience, not just an opinion?

TIA.

A friend on a trip toasted the tranny on his Guzzi and we met at a mutual friends house and tore into it, the mutual friend had the Harbor Freight lift. It was pretty good. It did convince me to get a lift. I went with the Kendon, made in USA, lightweight, can be leanded against the wall.www.kendon.com

Can you add the side extensions to the 1000lb model? From what I read on their site, it looks like they can only be put on the 1200lb model.

I bought one several years ago, changed out the tire chock for another as the one that came with it was too cheap and not sturdy. I got the foot pump model but would like the air operated model if I had a preference. Overall, the lift table is very reliable and I would not hesitate to buy another. I made side extensions that I could take on and off. It definately makes it easier to load and unload the bike..

I just ordered the 1200lb air lift this last Monday. I went to the store that was just over an hour away. I used the 20% off coupon from AIM and they are not charging me shipping because I will pick it up at the store (they didn't have one in stock). I pick mine up this Tuesday.

I think their side extensions are made to fit the 1200lb table, but I'm sure anything can be modified.
