DJ,

Whatta ya lookin for table lift or simple bike jack. I have one of each, table lift is an eagle products lift, identical to the handylift for about 250 beans cheaper plus no shipping.
The bike jack is the craftsman bike jack, got it as a gift didn't think I would use it but I have, seems to be holding up well. Many HDF members have this jack and I haven't heard any problems yet. I have included a link to eagle products for the table lift and the jack can be bought at any sears.

Hope this helps,

Yeah, what he said. I have the cheaper of the two available Craftsman; it is a pretty good unit. Again, a search of HDF will show a lot of us are very happy with this unit. OBTW, it is on sale right now for $69.99 here. Good luck.

John

I just bought the aluminum Craftsman jack at $149; $20 off MSRP through this week I think. It works great. A friend found a "Goodyear" branded jack at Sam's for about $69 and has no complaints but it probably compares to the $69 Craftsman.

I bought a bike jack but before I did I looked around. Yes I went to Sears but the one I liked the best and Bought I found at a farm store called Fleet Farm By far better than the ones at Sears with foot jack and foot release and a hell of a lot sturdier. Don't know if they are in your area but if they are check it out I'll find my reciept for the price and find the brand name for you if your interested.
