Default New toy




Just picked it up today. I wasn't too happy with the quality of the red jack craftsman sells for 100 bucks so I picked this one which is the professional grade. It retails for 200 but its on sale this month if your a Craftsman Club Member, I paid 160. I jacked up the bike with ease just to try it out but lets see how it does when I need to do the oil in 300 miles. I'd rather have a table but I don't have the room right now.

That definitely looks heavier duty than my red jack but for now, the red jack does fine by me.

Your jack also looks like you can manuever it easier too. Nice tool.

I forgot to mention that I picked up the box with the red jack in it and I thought my back was going to go out on me then I picked this one up and it was as light as a feather.......... well not really but it is pretty damn light since its all aluminum instead of steel.

Can't say I tried any other jacks before but yes this one does roll the bike around pretty damn easy.

"Toy" is right, should have bought a "real" motorcycle jack!

Just kidding, but posting about a cycle jack will get lots of negs and pos's.... as bike jacks have been beat to death on this and other forums..

I'd let my "toy jack" go for the price of the red one if anyone is in my area!
Used it about four times before I bought a real jack!

I was at sears last weekend and almost bought one. Just dont know if I should cough up a little more money and get the js jack. I know alot of people have the sears one and are happy but the js just look like it kicks a$$. I know the sears one will do just fine though. Congrats on your purchase though.
