RE: Pittbull or JS jack?
I prefer a lift table over a floor jack for a bike. For $600-$700 you can not beat it for flexibility. I really like mine (TCMLW) and use it all the time. There is always a place for tools and it came with a \\;very nice scissor jack as well. I use it as a bench when the bike is not on it.

RE: Pittbull or JS jack?
bought the J&\\;S myself and use it all the time. \\; very stable have never had to use any straps to secure the bike. \\; very smooth action going up and down. \\; also bought the oil drain pan works really well. \\; there customer service was very good immediatly replied to my emails when i had a question. \\; no problem fitting under my 08 SG

both look like high quality and sturdy jacks.
With S/H Pitbull is $500, J&S is $390, but Pitbull can lift to 24" while J&S can lift to 18".
Anybody use the Pitbull's Dyna jack to lift their touring bike. It also looks like it is wider in the pics.

know I'm a little late - But I have the J&S and it's by far the best investment/money spent on the bike. Extremely sturdy - wrenched on the bike anything from changing the bars out to replacing rear wheel with no straps....the damn thing is indestructible..

I'd say that you can't go wrong with either J & S or Pitbull. Both great products. I went with the Pitbull for the following:
1) Wider overall footprint.
2) 24 inch lift height vs 18.
3) Grease zerks on the moving parts

I have the J&S and am EXTREMELY happy with it. The only reason I was considering the Pitbull was the slightly higher lift capability. I use it for maintenance and cleaning with a rolling stool. Very handy. It is as advertised. I climbed up on the bike with it on the lift with no straps, ever. They are both very similar in design. I just couldn't justify the extra money for the Pitbull. You won't be disappointed with either one!

Love my pitbull jack! I have the dyna jack that can be used for either dynas or touring (I have both bikes). It's solid on both the bikes and lifts them up high!
