I bought one almost exactly the same (different paint color) from Sam's Club for about the same price. I'd put money on their being a single manufacturer that paints for each vendor. Anyway, jack works great.

I have a 1200C, 1200L, and an FXSTSI. For the Sportsters I need to put a tire on a block on wood to get clearance to get the jack in place. Bikes sit about 1" too low. I think that's the case for most jacks. Despite that small inconvenience, its still a great jack and I get a lot of use out of it.

 

I use it on my softail, and it works great. I was gonna get the sears one as well, but saw that this one was cheaper, too. I have since found out that the sears one comes with straps to strap the bike to the life to keep it from falling off, but I am yet to need the straps. I think it is a fine piece of equipment.

 

I've had mine for a while now . . . love it.

As far as I can tell it's just like many others, just a prettier color. I paid $50 or so. and it has a lifetime warantee.



I have to roll my rear tire up on a piece of 1-by - so the jack will slide under the bike without hitting the frame. But I have a Street Glide and it's a bit lower than some other bikes.



Happy lifting.

 

That looks like a nice little jack
the one i have is there drive on table type
jacks up to 30" high makes it nice to service bike
no more krawling on hands and knee and looking like i lost something on the garage floor!
any way hope enjoy your jack they are nice to have

 

I've been looking for a lift I could use without having to do a juggling act or a 2X4 ot anything else. I found one this morning with a minimum height of 2 3/4 inches which will work great. Google Shur-Lift. That's the one I'm geting.

 

ive got the roll up one from harbor frieght also. love i can stand there and everything is waist high or grab a chair and lower it down till its perfect.

 

The Habor Frieght isn't the same as the Craftsman, I looked at both. There are several small differences, but they're the type of small differences that could make a difference. I was just looking though the Sunday sale circulars and PepBoys has a MC jack advertised for $59.99 (after $20 rebate). That might be worth checking out also.

I was able to find the red craftsman on sale a few months ago for $54.95.

 

I've got the one from Sears... the Aluminium version....

You don't need any blocks... it just slides right under a Sportster...

But better than twice the price you are quoting... lol
