Jack Recommendations
My old jack's bit the dust so I'm in the market for a new one. I have a lift table so what I am looking for is a low profile jack I can slip in between the deck of the table and the frame to elevate the rear wheel. What's good out there?

There are many out there of the same design, several may be the same manufacturer with different labels....
I have two of these, that I use with my lift table:

I have been using them for four years now. They seem sturdy, and I have not had a problem with them. I will use two of them under the bike, if I am going to need to have the bike lifted from the table for more than a day.... and I use two anytime I remove a wheel or large/heavy parts from the frame...

The weakest point with these is the bushing with the Allen bolt, that simple thing keeps the whole weight from the bike. I know I had the same and it failed at that part, the Allen bolt was lo-send
and the lift collapsed. I still have it laying around in the workshop somewhere, I could take a picture from the part that fails if someone want this.

I had heard of some issues with various scissor jacks, but never knew the details... that's why I always use two when they will be supporting the weight of the bike.....
