Harborfreight puts the lift on sale all the time and sometimes they offer 20% coupons I think I ended up paying about 250.00 3-4 years

I have the Direct Lift and love it. I really liked the Handy, my neighbor has one but it was $200.00 more not counting shipping. I was close enough to pick up the direct lift as a distributor was by my house. Very happy with it, great price!!

I also have the J&S jack .....and I have the red table lift from harbor freight .It has been a good lift for me does everything i need it to do .But just like the J&S jack vs the other jacks I'm sure they're better lifts out there.

Cant beat it for the money.
Pros:
Price
Very easy to jack up even if its not air/hydraulic (manuel jack only)
Very solid once its up more then 6" or so (see cons below)
Fairly easy to move around with bike on lift. Better casters might make it even better.
Cons:
Hardware. Cheap soft bolts for bolting on the caster wheels. I replaced mine with good bolts.
Although lift is solid in down position, it is wobbly once you start lifting until it gets above 6 to 8" high. After you get higher then that it is very solid.
Be careful the first few times you lower the lift with the bike on it until all the air gets out of the jack. It will come down fast. After that it is smooth as silk.
Tire vise is JUNK! I put this chock on mine and it works GREAT! Holds the bike till I get off and put tie down straps on it.

Overall a good lift for the price. Im very happy with mine!

Man, that setup is the cat's ***! You got the drop down tail, side extensions, the whole shootin' match. The deal that was the lead post on this thread looked okay until I noticed that the lift didn't have the drop down tail.

Broadway lift, found them on the internet, gave me a hell of a great price on the Handy lift, and they had it shipped with special rates direct from Handy. I did a lot of searching for the best price on a Handy with freight and they couldn't be beat.
