Yes, it works great. It is adjustable for tire size and is very secure. I use it on my hoist. Before getting it I would ride up on the hoist and then have someone else put the hold down straps on. Now, I just ride up on the hoist, get off and the bike just stays there. I still add hold down straps to be safe. Hope this helps!

I agree, for the money you can't beat it. I used one this past summer to trailer from Florida to North Carolina and back. It worked perfectly and is well made. I have another one I plan to install in the garage for maintenance.

Got one. Works great! I like the bike to be straight up in the garage instead of leaning over. Takes up a little less room. I also drop the kick stand for a little insurance since the kids are in and out all of the time.
I did secure a 8' x 12" piece of 1/2" plywood under it. Now just as the front wheel enters the "well" the rear tire is on the plywood keeping the chock from slipping.

If anyone is interested in saving a few bucks when you visit a Harbor Freight in person use these coupons (Sorry they don't work on the web site). They do not have expiration dates. I have used them a few times now and I've never had a problem (yet). They will make you fill the info out on the front.

Yes, I have one of those mounted in my truck. I have three of the Condor's mounted in my trailer. The Harbor Freight version is not quite as heavy but it does the job well. The price is terrific. I will buy another one if I ever need to.
