I guess it depends on what your going to do with the tools....For use day in and day out, I wouldn't use their tools either but if your only going to use them a few times for personal use, their fine.

I have bought a few items from HF and most have worked well. If they break, they do exchange them without a problem.

I have the sears red jack and the pro-cycle direct lift, and I use them both. If I want to get both wheels off the ground, I use the jack. If I want to change a tire or oil, I use the lift.

Thanks for all the replies. The lift is a tad expensive. I looked at the J&S lift and I think that may be the route I go. It does everything the other one does and you can move the lift with the bike on it.

Thanks again for the advice.

Does not look like removing a wheel would be easy.At least with a table,the wheel would not fall 3 feet to the ground!
i don't believe that you have to raise it all that high. to do the wheels, raise it high enough to get the wheel out from under the fender. unless you like to watch them bounce!

I just bought the Handy Sam 2. Well built lift table. I would not put my bikes on a HF lift. My .02
