Heading over to Monroe next week to pick up a Complete Hydraulics TCMLW. I've been looking around now for a couple of months and have decided this is the one that meets my needs. BTW working on and riding bikes are the only things I plan on doing at 68!!

My Handy (S.A.M. 2) was $1169.00, Handy wheel vise $125.00, Handy scissor jack $125 and K&L shop dolly $224.00.

I am not trying to be a dick....I have always believed you get what you pay for. That's just me though.

Here's a couple of pics.
Now watch out guys,, that "AMERICAN MADE" Handy lift is more expensive because the workers get paid more, and probably have some decent benefits,,, we know that causes companies to go bankrupt! RIGHT?

I bought a Handy with side ext. for 550 off of ebay. I know it is the best. All the dealership and shops that use them can't be wrong.

Be Safe JIM

I financed a couple of the lifts that TOMM (posted a pic of his) for a friends repair shop and he uses them both daily and has very little problems. Yes Handy are nice but pricey too. We got him 2 with side extensions and the whole shootin match for $1600+ delivery. Great lifts; perfect? No, but no problems... My buddy uses his for bikes all day in and all day out. Works 7 days a week usually and he said NO COMPLAINTS... Im in the market and trying to get a lift that is sitting in my buddies garage being used as a bench/shelf for storage.. It IS a Handy and is brand new from the looks of it.

Recently bought the same one, but with the side extensions. Yeah, pricey, but very nice. However, don't let Yellow Freight deliver it or you may have a scratched up deck like I got while the weasels from Yellow Frieght attempt to say they should only pay you about $100 bucks for the damage. You'll a decent air compressor for that big boy because if you have a modest one like I'm currently using, you just have to be a little patient .................. and then she'll lift the bike up. Talk about the sweetest way to install exhausts.

Treat yourself to something of quality and support an American company as well. You win on both counts. Seriously, these things are very nice.

I was lucky enough to have a great friend loan me the handy that was in his shop not being used; i picked it up yesterday. Unfortunately it doesn't have a wheel vise or center lift.. yet.
Ill prob be picking these up soon; anyone have good priced resources for these items?
LIft is built very solid; Im impressed so far..
