I have the sears red one... it requires me to put my rear tire up on a couple 10lb. weights(barbell) in order to get the jack under my lowered bike...It also does not hold the bike parallel to the ground(leans about 5º to the primary side).

I just got the red jack as well, and will be curious to see how it works.

Ever seen the episodes of OCC where bikes fall off of lift tables in a shop?
If bike gremlins show up in pro shops you KNOW they are hanging out in your garage eyeballing your red jack!

20 grand in your bike deserves more than 99 bucks in your jack

I got a J&S jack and I wouldn't have any other. I had the Sears and it was unsafe in my opinion. I paid a little more for the J$S jack but it was well worth it.
