Default Anyone Use this?

I am interested in the Black Widow motorcycle lift/jack, anyone use this product? Pro's Cons on it? My primary us for it would be to clean under the bike. $89 + $35 shipping for a 1500# lift on ebay...is it worth it?

Be careful with this lift I have it and it does it's job well, except mine will only lower fast and not slow. If you push the release handle down all the way it's supposed to lower slow and half way is fast, well mine will only lower fast, scared the hell out of me the first time because I had the bike all the way up in the air.


the road goes on forever and the party never ends

+1 on what Dustineal said. I have the same one from HB and it works great except for the lowering. Scared me the first time and still kinda scares me but i know what to expect now. For the price you can't beat it.

I bought this jack with a coupon from thunderpress for $59 plus 9.95 for two year replacement warranty. It works very well but does lower very quickly. Scared me as well the first time I lowered it.

I bought the Black Widow lift used off a guy on Craigslist for $40. Works just fine.
