Never heard of K&L, who makes it?

Been using a J&S for 3 years. Best accessory I ever bought for my bike.

pitbull lift will lift higher than the J&S. I believe both are of great quality.

J&s or pitbull, either will be a tool you'll need to put in your will because it will outlast you. You can do everything on a 75 dollar cheapie, but once you start using a quality jack, you'll wonder why you waited so long. I use the pitbull because I can do all my motor work standing up, and they have an air over hydraulic option, which adds to the convenience.

Just picked up a used J&S a few weeks ago...couldn't be happier with it. One minute flat and the bike is off the ground and rock solid on the jack. I demonstrated it to a friend yesterday by climbing up on the bike (and not carefully). He about had a heart attack and he's sold on it.
