Had one for years - awesome - stable - blow away the sears and harbor freight lifts. Proper size hydraulics so they don't come flying down, fit under bikes without removing rubber pads, well build t and thought out.

Make sure you order the oil drain tray, it works great. Tip-when using it, cover it with tin foil, helps with the clean up.

I'm a J&S fan. Bought mine off CL for $135 in like new condition. Came with the oil tray and no T handle. I made my own handle and mount and I never used the oil tray so I ended up throwing it out.

That tin foil thing is a great idea. I always just choked on brake cleaner when cleaning the tray.

I just picked one up myself for $200 no oil pan or T-handle but still a steal. Anxious to do my fluids and test it out. Still seems sketchy on the initial effort when it moves and becomes level but I'm sure it's fine and will get better in time!
