Default cycle jack

Considering the purchase of a cycle jack. A couple are on sale around the area, either a Larin or Craftsman. Can anyone shed some advice on which one to buy along with the pros and cons?
&nbsp\\;
Thanks

Craftsman red jack is heavy and sometimes doesn't fit under the bike especially if lowered. The Sears yellow jack is alluminum, light weight and will fit under lowered bikes easily. That is what I have and very happy with it. Can't comment on the Larin, no experience with it.

Yes, it's more expensive than the Sears jack, but you get what you pay for.

craftsman red.&nbsp\\; heavy but sturdy.&nbsp\\; don't know about fit for lowered bikes, but just barely fits under 07 SG, so I can imagine that it wouldn't work on those that are lowered.

Have craftsman yellow and its a good choice for the price.&nbsp\\; If I were to do again, I would get J&amp\\;S for more stability.

If you are looking for minor work and oil changes, I picked this one up 3 years ago with the intentions of only using it a couple of times and getting a real one. It's better than the price and you can get it on sale for $59.95 usually once a month.
