Man it is sooo nice not to have to sit on a concrete floor to do any wrenchin'. This thing is all it clamis to be. And it is very sturdy.

Yes I got mine last week also, and the oil pan option. Getting up OFF the floor was.......... well.......... not a very dignified operation for me. I will fess up to one thing, the first time I used it I was scared as all heck I'd drop it off or something. Just being honest.

I found out the hard way that you don't need to close the release valve very tight. Because when you go to release it when it is tight it opens way too much. Luckily I had the safty stops in place or it would have been down pretty quick. Scared the chit outta me.

I started to write that I never strap my bike onto my J&S, and went to preview the post. I read my tag line that talks about not boasting about tomorrow andfigured I'd better rephrase it. Let's just say,so far, I haven'tfelt the need to strap my bike down. That's not to say that I never will.

You don't need straps. I can climb up on it and move from front to back just like the video on their site. Yes I was nervous the first time but i had a friend close and the bike was on the lowest setting when I tried it the first time. I absolutely trust the J&S jack now.

Yes, you have to be careful when you release the valve. Easy does it.
