I have 2 of them, I paid extra for the air powered one, they seem to be of halfway decent quality, and I use the **** out of both of them.

I have one myself. Really happy with it. You'll probably get lots of comments in this thread along the lines of "You paid X for your bike and you wanna throw it on a lift that costs Y? You're crazy, buy a different lift that costs 2-10x as much!". Just keep in mind that none of these people are likely to have owned this lift.

Worst case scenario with this lift is that the clamping system kinda sucks but everyone just puts a better one on like you did and you'll probably have to replace the bottle jack sooner or later. No big deal when you consider what you're getting for the price.

Also consider getting a small scissor lift to put on the table and lift the bike at the frame so you can remove the rear drop-out plate on the table and work on the rear tire as it spins freely. Always make sure you crank down the tie downs from the bike to the table - and it's not a bad idea to set some anchors in the shop floor if you can to keep any table anchored down.

I have a different brand of lift. Best money I've ever spent. Makes working on my bikes enjoyable. My lift is Air Hydraulic which is fine as long as everything is working. I like the simplicity of your set up with its foot pump.

That's pretty sweet. I've wanted one of those for so long. I am sick of crawling around on the floor when I'm working on my bike.
