+1 on the J&S Jacks. IMO worth every penny I paid.

I'm sure the J&S is a great jack but this picture begs for a funny caption...

Yeah you'll hear alot about jacks. My opinion would be if you going to use it alot buy a higher price jack (you get what you pay for). But if you are like me I use the jack to change fluid (2 times a year) to clean it really good (when ever the cleaning bug bites) change tires, etc... I have a HF yellow jack works for me.

If this sort of thing doesn't bother you then I'd say get yourself the Sears yellow or other cheap brand. Otherwise I'd go with something like the J&S which you don't even need to use straps with. I have no regrets for spending the extra money.

+1
I have the red Craftsman and I had to use two 2X4's to get it under my bike. Since the Shotgun Shock just flip a switch and slip right under.
