Default Motorcycle Jack H.F. vs Craftsmen

right now i know i can get them cheaper down the road. however I'm looking to get either the Harbor freight
http://www.harborfreight.com/1500-lb...lift-2792.html

or the Craftsmen
http://www.sears.com/craftsman-motor...90000P?prdNo=2

my neighbor has the craftsmen and he loves it.
my wife's cousin has the harbor freight on and he loves it.

I have a 2006 low rider do anyone recommend any of these two or know of a different one? i only wonna spend no more then $150.00 if i have to spend more. i will but really don't want to

Never used the craftsman but I have everything else from them lol. I do have the yellow HF one and I like it. I have a 04 wideglide and had to move the supports to the outside to clear the trans. Easy 4 bolt job. Very stable! I just used it last night to change primary and motor oil. Plus at HF you can find a coupon almost anyday.

Just bought the Harbor Freight one yesterday. $59.99 with a coupon out of a magazine. Decent quality and you can't beat the price!
