Default Table Lift....??

Does anyone here have a Black Widow table lift? I was going to buy a Handy brand ($1300) and then I was told about the Black Widow ($550). Well I called them (Black Widow) to find out if they have any in stock and found out that they are made in China. Being a consumer of many years I've never really seen to many quality products come out of there. I looked at the one at harbor freight and that is the biggest POS I have ever seen. I wouldn't put my mountain bike on that thing. Any ways... Just looking to see if anyone has any reviews on the Black Widow brand. Thanks....

I have the table lift from Harbor Freight and it has worked flawlessly for years. It picks up my RoadKing with no problem. Trying to buy something not from China is tough these days. The only thing left are commercial lifts that are at least twice as much. I'm pleased with the Harbor Freight lift and it is very handy.

Twice as much is about exactly right. Well if you are putting a Road King on one then I know my Dyna will work on it too. Thanks.

You may want to Look at the Direct Lift sold by Greg Smith Equipment . I've got 2 of them and like them, and the side extenders are great for 4 wheeler or your riding mower also.. Nicely built and very Stable..jsst a thought...

+1 on Greg Smith. I don't own one of the bike lifts but have been doing extensive web research on 4 post vehicle storage lifts, and based on my findings will be purchasing from them.

Those guys are worth a look.

Guess I'll go the other way. My Handy with cycle vice was on sale from the factory two years ago for 750.00 shipped to my door. Works flawlessly and worth every penny. The workmanship on their lifts are first class. If you are in it for the long haul you might consider them. My 2 cents.....

Direct lift makes a great table. Heavy duty and cheap price for what you get. If you call them up they usually have deal of some kind going. I got a free 100 dollar scissor jack when I bought my drop tail model.
