Stable, but the wheel clamp is junk and the foot pump is a pain in the *** to use. Gonna sell mine and buy a Handy or something.

I have the foot pump one. If you have the garage space to use it I think it is very good for the price. I wish I would have paid a little more and got the one that you can extend the sides. That way i could use it for the riding mower.

I haven't had any problems with mine. the wheel chock isn't the greatest but I strap mine down when its on the lift. foot pump not so bad but the air one would have been better, trying to save a few dollars.

They ship it by freight. They drop it at the curb so be prepared to haul it to where ever you need it. The freight company did call and let me know what time they were coming.

I bought the Sears jack on sale for 160 bucks OTD...Works good and has a safety latch. It`s aluminum and the handle pops out too.

I bought a SAM's club lift for 99bux, It has worked well so far ( 3 years on my FXST) Handy has a good lift for about $565.00 and it includes a wheel clamp. It has a 1000# capacity, I am going to buy one next year when I get my new garage & bike.

I have one and it works well but it lets the bike down way to fast. It scares you everytime you let it down. But it left and holds fine and has a safty stop. Tom
