Im with Dan. Tools, or lifts, is not were Im looking to save money.
Awesome, throw some of that spare money my way! I have a fully equipped garage, if I only bought name brand tools and equipment, I would either not have a fully equipped garage, or my kid wouldn't have the latest 'everything'. The garage was the easier choice for me to make. The HF lift has been great and I never have a single doubt that it'll work. I did change the chock when I assembled it, with an HF one, of course.
I've never been much of a brand snob really, There's even a Honda in there.
No snob here. I got burned by HF before and I'll never spend a dime in that place again.
I have a box full of tool truck tools and didn't buy one of them at full price. Lots of good deals out there. The trucks have sales also and cash talks
My Weaver lift I bought from a friend that sold his bikes. He bought it new and all he did was park on it. Sure I could have bought a HF lift and then added the sides, changed the chock, and converted it to air.
My lift has been great also and I never doubted it wouldn't work either, or flip over.
These harbor freight lifts have polarizing responses. Limited on space also curious about kendon fold up, but for a long time not available. have not looked lately.
Loading bikes on my buddies big pro table, is something I would not enjoy by myself.
I like my jack, but wish it was higher. Maybe some redneck engineering, rigging some day.
I have had mine for 6 years and it has been problem free but, I too have changed the chock. A few riding buddies had poor opinions but were happy to have me change tires on their bikes. I know there are better lifts but this lift does everything I need.
