BountyHunter has good taste. I got that one. DON'T BUY THE ONE FROM "HARBOR FREIGHT TOOLS". I had one. The hydrailcs broke, locking the bike in the air. Got my hand ripped open by a spring trying to get the bike down. My kids can often be heard yelling "Mom, Dad needs an ambulance again!"

The Sears brand works well, although it's similar, if not exactly like the Costco or Pep Boys brand. Made in China, I believe.
I've heard stories, like ZookHD above, where the hydraulics went awry, OR one of the bolts sheared, either dropping the bike
or leaving it stranded up in the air. I replaced all those cheap bolts for the strongest ones made, which I believe is Grade 8....$25.00 or so.
Works well, I'll keep my fingers crossed & eyes peeled on the hydraulic issue tho...
