Default Sears red jack time to go

Bought it for my sportster, got by with it for my street glide, had the limited on it last night and it's a little much. Ordered a J&S before something bad happens. Hope it's as good as everybody says.

I have a yellow craftsman, doesn't get used much. Used it the other day to stand the bike straight up while I worked on the tourpak, airwing rack and additional run brake light.

Mostly I use this...

I have the Harbor Freight one, use it on my Street Glide with never a problem. A bit wobbly, yes, does the job...absolutely...it's not going anywhere when the bikes on the jack...

J&S is an awesome jack.
Works exactly as advertised.
I've never strapped mine down and I've done some serious wrenching on it.

You're going to love it.
You'll wonder why you've put up with those inferior jacks for so long.

It is, you will have no regrets. One solid, stable jack. I wheel my bike all over the garage not strapped down without a concern.

You won't regret the J&S. I know there is a million opinions about everything on this forum but I'm confident in saying this is one of the few accessories that is what everyone says it is. Once you use one you'll see how great of a jack it is especially compared to a Sears or Harbor Freight jack. I can't believe I ever trusted a Sears jack to hold up such an expensive toy. The maintenance work you can do yourself will pay for the jack over time.

I never wasted my money on a Sears or HF jack I wanted something that would work the 1st time & not have to wonder if they'll hold up J&S jacks aren't cheap but either is what I put on it. One of my best items I ever bought was my J&S. Like alot of people say "Rock Solid"

Note the Harbor Freight jack sitting against the wall not used.
