10 Ultra Limited suspended in air presently on J&S in the Garage.

Very easy to move around, rock solid stable.

Old craftsman was worth $12.50 at scrap yard.

Let me know what they say if you would. Just got my jack and love it......except for the uneven pedal and it slipping out of the groove.

I have a table lift, Pitbull, J&S, and the red Craftsman in my garage.

The table lift I use on rebuilds and such when the bike will be on the lift for an extended time.

Far as the jack style goes the J&S rules it is the most stable doesn't matter what bike is on it bagger, chopper, metric it is the most stable the other two I just mainly use for storage so I can move the bikes around without hassle.

Have any of you guys used or heard of Redline engineering? Their Nesco NS800 looks like a decent jack and they are selling them on ebay for $279.

The Nesco web site says this jack is discontinued.

I cant find anything stating where the jack is made but apparently Nesco makes professional quality tools.

Nesco.

I wonder why they discontinued the jack. Looks good to me. Almost half the price of J&S. I'll stick with my $89.00 craftsman for now. It works and it works well when needed.

Even before watching the above posted video, I am sold on the J&S unit.. I currently have an off brand and have been shopping around for new.. I saw the J& S posted on Fuel Moto web site as a unit that they use.. these guys are working bikes all day long.. That in itself is a serious recommendation in my book.
