Need A Lift???
Okay, I'm hooked on working and fiddling and cleaning and upgrading the bike. I had two rainy days off and spent most in the garage on the floor and scooting around on my knees. Bottom line is I need to get the bike up off the floor to work on it. I have the yellow Craftsman Jack, but it really doesn't go high enough, and frankly it doesn't seem really safe for long periods of time. I also pray each time I let the jack down-- hoping the bike won't fall... No I don't strap it on... would that really help?
At any rate, how about some ideas about a lift that is reasonable for home use... I don't know if a crank will work for me... 6 back surgeries and expect the 7th this Winter. Hydraulic? Electric? I do have a decent air compressor for construction work (it's portable two tanks)... Suggestions, prices, and pictures welcome.

If you have the room, this is a nice one for a good price. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=94121

A freind of mine has one and it's pretty nice. I really want one but really pressed for room (single car garage). I use the Craftsman yellow for now. I'll try and find the review on it. It shows a plug but in the discription says foot pump or air. They usually have them in the stores.
