Default Sears Jack ?

Does the sears red jack lift a ultra high enough to remove the rear wheel?

Make sure you strap down the bike. Taking off the wheel throws the balance out of whack.

J&S Jack owners don't have to worry about that....LOL

I used one on mine and I would put jack stands under each side of front tire. Its a little shaky. Now I have an electric pallet jack made into a table lift. This thing is great the only downfall is the front. I can't get the front tire off like you can on some. There is no way to drop the front out of the way. Good luck with your jack and be very cautious when getting it strapped down.

Question is...can you afford to fix the bike when the cheap jack fails and drops it...Personally, I'd rather spend more on quality tools, and know the bike is secure while I work on it.

22K for the Ultra...Quality tools and equipment to care for the bike..Priceless!

I agree,,,,I have a harbor freight yellow jack that has been working for me without issues. not sure what you do for a living...but I know my bachelor salary cannot afford top shelf items all the time and I'm sure alot of other people are in the same boat....what i think is funny is that a friend of mine who's been riding and wrenching on his own stuff for YEARS works on his bike with it sitting on a homemade wooden stand.....hahaha
he actually asked why I spent all the money (less than 100 bucks) for a "fancy" jack.

Its funny how people can be on here.....if one doesn't own a "new" bike....07 or newer, or have the latest in doo dad gadgetry you rarely get any respect from the ones that do. its all about who has the deepest pockets seems like. Now I'm not finger pointing or trying to rattle some cages here, thats not my intent.....just sayin is all....
