Yeah and that was just my yellow one. The red one (which is better built but has the same sorry bottle jack as the J&S probably) has been used for 4 years and too many times to count. I think 400 times maybe. I work on my friends bikes endlessly. Apparently I'm handy...
Good luck on your trade/buy or whatever. J&S and Pitbull jacks are nice.

LP, if I had your bike a honda 175, I also might trust the sears lift, as far as being a better man I think that only your boyfriend Lance would agree with that. http://www.minibite.com/funstuff/mamasdont.htm

You guys are crazy 
, this is soooo funny! Hate to admit it but it's better than MY forum 
!
I say again:
"So I guess the final question would be to all Pitbull users. Anyone have experience with the lift and Wheeldock?"
Keep 'em comin' guys...

Solorider and LP, I am not saying the J&S jack isn't a good jack its just that I compared the 2 and only thing J&S had better then pitbull was price!!
#1 pitbull has 4 inch wheels vs js having 3 inch
#2pb lift height is 25 vs js 18
#3pitbull has 14 grease fittings vs don't think js has any
#4pitbull has LIFETIME WARRANTY VS JS has none stated on there web site
#5 in 5 years mine never has leaked or giving any problems vs people having problems with js
#6 pitbull comes with a handle to move the lift around VS j&S your on your knees or bent over
#7 pitbull been in business since 1989 vs j&s since 1995
#8 they both have websites to compare I don't think pitbull family owned made in usa, (I think in Tennessee) VS JS made in wisconsin by 2 brothers has anything to do with comparison in quality. so until LP and solorider can come up with as many things to prove there point like I did they can go away with there childish sensless posts calling bs

I agree with all of your point as i own a PB. it is a very high quality lift. I also did the turn table upgrade when i went to sturgis in 07. now i can swivel the bike 360 degrees. not sure if the other brands offer this upgrade but it is sure nice to be able to do this. ted

Yes, manual is a hydraulic jack pumped by a foot lever.
I have a PitBull, $80 more expensive but I have a Touring bike and a Sportster and I wanted to be able to lift both without adapters, the PitBull has larger casters and the garage floor is not smooth but I can roll the jacked up bike easily and I can lift and lower either bike by myself. I strap the Sporty down but the Road King is stable it's ownself.
