Heading over to Monroe next week to pick up a Complete Hydraulics TCMLW. I've been looking around now for a couple of months and have decided this is the one that meets my needs. BTW working on and riding bikes are the only things I plan on doing at 68!!

If you care......as far as I know........
Handy Industries manufacturers the only lift table made in the USA. That means a lot to me.
You can get one at Harbor Freight for about $400.00....made by your friends in China.
My Handy (S.A.M. 2) was $1169.00, Handy wheel vise $125.00, Handy scissor jack $125 and K&L shop dolly $224.00.
I am not trying to be a dick....I have always believed you get what you pay for. That's just me though.
Here's a couple of pics.

I financed a couple of the lifts that TOMM (posted a pic of his) for a friends repair shop and he uses them both daily and has very little problems. Yes Handy are nice but pricey too. We got him 2 with side extensions and the whole shootin match for $1600+ delivery. Great lifts; perfect? No, but no problems... My buddy uses his for bikes all day in and all day out. Works 7 days a week usually and he said NO COMPLAINTS... Im in the market and trying to get a lift that is sitting in my buddies garage being used as a bench/shelf for storage.. It IS a Handy and is brand new from the looks of it.

Treat yourself to something of quality and support an American company as well. You win on both counts. Seriously, these things are very nice.

I was lucky enough to have a great friend loan me the handy that was in his shop not being used; i picked it up yesterday. Unfortunately it doesn't have a wheel vise or center lift.. yet.
Ill prob be picking these up soon; anyone have good priced resources for these items?
