I got the 1000lb. one a week ago and it's pretty damn nice.. I used the chock it came with, there was a little movement, but I used the tie downs and it's perfect... The foot pump works well, goes up pretty fast and easy.. Well worth the $$$$
Answers to some of the posts.
1). Without the extension, the rear wheel is centered on the rear dropout panel see attached picture.
2). The scissor jack came with my lift, and it too is built like a tank...I have no problem using it to lift the bike.
3). With my Wheeldock, should I want to be able to drop out the rear wheel, I would just unbolt 2 bolts from the front of the Wheeldock support and slide it back some to center the bike rear wheel on the dropout panel. Then using the included scissor jack, lift the rear end up, drop the panel, and drop the rear wheel. Otherwise the front extension is bolted down with 4 bolts, and I could just take off the extension and do the same thing.
For what it's worth, I've gots lots of HF stuff (plus Craftsman, Husky, and many other brands). I've never had a problem with HF tools. I'm not a professional mechanic, though, so I don't put the strain on them someone else might. With the 20% off coupon it sure looks like it is time to buy the HF lift, though.
Same here, and not being rich I need to get the best bang for my buck. It should be pointed out that HF hand tools carry a lifetime warranty, even TQ wrenches. I've had two HF TQ wrenches for about 10 years and they have been tested very accurate, much more so than a $325 Snap-On I once owned. They wanted $40 to adjust it and the big HF wrench cost $15. I sold the Snap-On and kept the HF wrenches. The few hand tools that have broken have been replaced without hassle and they never asked for a receipt.
In one case (auto AC gauges) one of the handles broke after three years and although that model was no longer being made they replaced it with a better unit, and I wasn't asked for a receipt. That's good service, but YMMV.
