I don't want to start a debate as to what jack is the best.
Everyone has seen the comment "you spend $20K on a motorcycle why put a $70 jack under it".

Compared to expensive jacks; the HF jack might not be as stable, it might not last for years, it's made in China ect....
All this is true, but for $70 freaking dollars can you really go wrong with this jack?

No in my opinion and I believe some HF stores will honor a 20% single purchase coupon as well which brings the price down to $56. (my local HF Store doesn't allow the 20% on sale items, but it might be worth the argument.)

If you want to spend $400+ on a high quality jack, that's perfectly acceptable but if you want to get something cheaply, the HF jack does get the job done.

Below is the coupon.

 

Well, at least the coupon SAYS Pittsburgh on it!!!

 

I'm fortunate to have come across an expensive jack that I got for half price on Craigs List, and it is great.

But if I had a lesser jack I'd work with it, make certain it was extra stable (with a five gallon bucket under one wheel, as one example,) and it would work just fine too.

 

Great price. Love mine and after I widened the lifting pads works like a champ.

Is it the best, perhaps not. But the better Jack is not 500% better to justify the cost in my mind. YMMV

 

I think I paid $79 for mine. I don't have a $20,000 bike so maybe the forum elite who've never had one but are experts will give me a pass. It holds my Dyna up just fine and is very stable. If I had a 900 lb full dress top heavy road sofa I might be more concerned.

 

I've used mine on my friends ultra and it worked fine.

 

That's a decent price for that jack. I got mine about seven or eight years ago... on special... for $69.95 IIRC. Unless they've changed it, it's a pretty decent jack.

The hydraulics tend to leak a bit. If you leave it for a few hours, it'll leak down, and let the bike down. Make sure you engage the ratchet latch and let the jack down to rest on that.

 

Bought this jack for my son; he uses it on his Deluxe and his buddies' bikes and loves it.

 

...wait....

you only spent 20k...?

 

Not even, I paid $7k for mine.
