I agree Direct Lifts are a great product. I have one and would not be without it.

I use J&S jacks. Tried the rest. I put the chop on it, no tie downs, no probs. Baggers, same thing.
But for a 'lift' watch your local Craigslist. There have been several for sale this summer up here. Sour economy. Guys sellin' 'em for pennies on the dollar. Most have been basically, brand new, with extensions, wheel vise, etc. Lotta bang for the buck, IMHO. Crank is okay, if you don't use it alot.

Add another in the "Handy Lift" column. There's a guy out there claiming to be selling an "exact copy" of the HL (out of California, of course). It's a chinese copy with a chinese hydraulic cylinder....NOT repairable. Cheap steel is cheap steel. It will look the same to the untrained eye, but it is NOT the same in terms of metallurgy and strength!!

Stay away from J&S Jacks. They have chronic bottle leak issues. Went through 3, all of them leaked. Gave up. Not sure where they're getting inferior hydraulic bottles.
