What do you use?

So I am starting to prepare to embark upon my first bike work. What bike stand do y'all use? Thanks all.

Got one of these lifts if its major work, can wheel the bike on then jack the whole thing up, just an eBay purchase, nothing special but bloody heavy to move around on your own.

& one of these scissor jacks when it's quick stuff like changing out my front end, very handy but need to keep one of the wheels on the floor.

Thanks for the replies. I like that big one, but I think that those are more than likely a wee bit out side what I have at the moment.

I use a craftsman sears jack with some dyna adapters. Works good for me.

Can't say as I have done all that much with it yet beyond an oil & fluid change or three, but the Harbor Freight ATV jack I scored for 79 bucks does lift the bike fine using a few odd pieces of wood to fit the frame and some cheap straps (don't even need the pieces of wood to lift the OL's Softail, Dyna frame is an odd duck). When I get off the shoestring sure would like to get one of those JS Jacks, but the Scotch may well have become permanent by then

I was thinking about that Craftsman jack...didnt know that it needed special dyna adapters. Are those sold at sears as well or did you make your own at home?
