The yellow one is going to be just another of the MANY Christmas presents I'll be buying for ME, or make that my RK.
Geez I love Christmas.

It's the red one. I don't have the heart to say hey I said the yellow one.



The red one is a MUCH better jack IMHO & I own both jacks. The red one is much sturdier & the foot pedal arangement is way better than the handle jack on the yellow one.

The yellow one is lighter & goes lower, but if I was only going to own one I would take the red one every time.

yeah, I just got the red one too....I had bought the yellow one, and took it back within 20 minutes....I decided I'd rather use a 2x4 to roll my bike on than spend that extra $100 too. A 2x4 is less than $1......

Using the 2x4, it's a breeze. Love it.....The best reason is because I can work the controls while on my knees aligning the jack. AND, the release lever is great becasue it allows a beginner like me to lower the bike very slowly...I heard the yellow one you really have to be careful to not slam your bike down!!!!!!

....you'll use it five times and then it will sit in the corner of your garage taking up space. I rarely use mine anymore either...

what do you use when you change tires/brakes or work on your bike??

If I had bought my yellow one I would have returned it also. I got mine free, so I still have it but the red one is the one that gets used(I can't stand the control setup on the yellow one, it is much harder to use & constantly in the way)

... great jack....i love "accidentally" findin stuff...i check the history on all the computers, trunks, closets, and under stuff...she's not real good at hidin things...you can tell she never smoked pot as a kid [:-]
Come on man, wheres the fun in that? Wouldnt you rather be surprised?

LOL

When I was a kid all year long I asked for a stereo. Of course as Christmas approached I went snooping and discovered "The Stereo".
Guess what - The stereo was for one of my brothers - I WAS BUMMED - []
I never snooped again. (for christmas presents - don't ask me about surveliance when my kids were in their teens)
