I need one of those stands.

I use the modified red Sears jack with no problems., but I always lower the jack to settle it firmly into one of the "lock" positions & always stap 'er down. No matter how nit-noid or inconvenient it may seem for something "simple", if my bike's in the air, it's strapped down.

Another J&S recommend. By the time you buy a Sears jack, stand and straps, your pretty much at the cost of the J&S. And you avoid all the costs for fallen bikes.

Solid as a rock. I've climbed on my bike while its on the stand. It ain't moving.

Default Under all....

Under all circumstances always, repeat always strap your bike down. Handy lit table, use straps, yes, I have known of a air cylinder fail when the bar is up and was being let down by the mechanic. Any mechanical thing can fail, to the two guys giving bad advice about using a J&S jack without straps, I beg to differ. Any mechanical thing can fail!

I use a Handy electric and strap my bike down even when the bike is just sitting there, you just never know. Is a J&S jack more safe or as safe than a Handy electric lift table, hell no. It is your bike, do with it as you please.
