Okay Forum, I've read almost every post I can find about the different brands of bike jacks.

I seem to be settled on either the J&S Jack or the Pitbull jack.

They both have videos on their websites showing the stability of the jack.

I do like Pitbull's turntable feature too.

So my question is has anyone looked at these two specifically, and could render their opinion?

The price is about even, but I think the lift height is higher on the pitbull.

I need a good jack for detailing and small maint usage.

Any input from the group?

I just ordered a J&S jack about an hour ago. It's guaranteed for life. That's why I went with the least expensive of the two (between J&S & Pitbull).

 

Any jack that lifts a bike safely is a good jack.

 

Right you are, but I've already got a jack that lifts safely. Now, I want one that lifts with rock solid assurance.

 

You guys see any value in the turntable option?

 

The J&S is great. I would buy another one in a heartbeat.

 

A few years back I had the Pitbull... Lifted my Heritage just fine but didn't care too much for the rails.. This time around I got the J&S... bout the same quality overall with better rails (in my opnion) and yes I can swivel the bike (Ultra) with no problems.. I found no real advantages of the Pitbull over the J&S.. Both are nice jacks yet for me the J&S is a tad bit superior. (at least on the lifting rails)

 

I got the Sears yellow,,,
wouldnt buy it again!
to tippy, the release is crazy fast.
only good it does, allows me to lift wheels for cleaning

 

bought mine from the big box tool store and it works great.

 

Come on Chief, Tell us what jack you ended up buying! Did you get that fancey turn=table thing from pitbull?
