If I had a garage I'd snap one up. Add a couple of scissor Jacks and a quality wheel chock and I'd be all set.

If you don't have one of their coupons they will give you a flyer at the store that has the coupons. I was told once at one of the stores that sometimes they will give the coupons price if you have one even between sales.

for the DIY guy they are a pretty good lift lift, although is a must to replace the crappy chock they come with, beats the hell out of working bent over all the time ( a bit heavy and take up a bit of space though), now for a shop where they get a lot of use, a guy would want a more refined one.

Hey Proline, Baka makes a good point about the wheel chocks. They are also on sale and they come in handy (I swear I am not getting a commission from HF HaHa!).

I used them last on the harley when I was installing the slip-ons. One on one side when I was pulling them out and the one on the other side when I was pushing them in. The bike would have probably came off the kick stand (jiffy?) had I not had them in place. For $5 they are well worth it.

Oh yeah, and while you are there don't forget the straps to tie down the bike when you have it on the lift.

How's it lifting a touring bike? Does it take a long time with the foot pedal?
