I ruled out both of the Sears jacks (and some others) prior to going with the one I did, and if I could do it all over again I would spring for the J&S.
I don't use it all that often but it's something I'm always going to have one of. I figure I'll sell the one I have one day and get the J&S, but I'm kinda **** about most things. (naw....I'll buy a table when that day comes)

I love this guys answers throughout the site[sm=smiley36.gif]

 

Here's another post on the yellow jack
https://www.hdforums.com/m_2465485/tm.htm
I use it every single day with no problems whatsoever

 

Have the J&S and the Master Blaster. Both well worth the money. The J&S jack is so quick, easy and sturdy that you will use it a lot. Like I have said before with $20k+ being hoisted up in the air it is well worth a few extra bucks to me.

I am not one who loves cleaning my bike I would rather be out riding it. As sifularson says with this combination cleaning the bike is an easy 15min job now.

 

another vote for J&S. Had mine for a little while and use it a lot for moving the bike around in my garage and cleaning it. I have heard that the jack you were asking about works fine, just not as rigid or sturdy when the bike is up in the air.

bsstrat: The Craftsman yellow jack works fine for my 2007 Ultra. No complaints.

 

The Craftsman yellow is amazingly stable for its size and weight. I have been under my bike pulling on a torque wrench for 50 ftlbs with no issues. Its like any other tool ... be careful with it and don't misuse it.
