I have an extra Pitbull jack that I don't need anymore. $250 + shipping and its yours. IMO they are the best out there.

THE PITBULL IS SOLD. THANX

 

I've heard good things about both the J&S and the Pitbull. I went with the J&S and couldn't be happier. Used it on my Dyna when I had that bike, no frame adapters necessary. Should be no issue at all on the Touring bike.

 

I must say, I get a kick out if those that say " I will never put $20,000 bike on a $75 jack" what does the price have to do with anything? My $100 Craftsman works just fine. It has safety lockouts to prevent accidents. Do you put $3 gas in your bike? or do you look for some that is more expensive? so silly.

 

 

Craftsman jack...works great

 

Sears red jack, if used correctly and let down on the stops explain what can happen ? good enough for me

 

Well there is no doubt that the J&S or Pitbull or good jacks, but you are going to pay more for it. I also have the HF jack that I got for 59.99. I keeping hearing how nobody will put there 20k bike on a cheap jack, but what I haven't heard, is any stories of a 20k bike falling off that cheap jack

 

I've had a Big Red Motorcycle/Atv jack (Pep Boys) for about 6 years. It cost me $65. I've used it for my Atv's & motorcycles. I've change tires, exhausts, forks, shocks, handlebars, tanks, bodywork & a lot more on bikes/Atv's on that jack...never had any issues with it. I always put my bikes on a lift when there not in use (every night).

I tried the PitBull lift & was super impressed with it though. It lifted the bike higher & it was much easier to roll around with a bike on it. So in that respect it's a much nicer jack.

Just don't know why I would "need" one when my $65 jack works just fine. I can take the couple of hundred I save (maybe more when I see how much some have paid) & put it towards something for the bike.

I just works for me.

 

Harbor Freight !!!!

 

I got a Sears for a job I needed to do real fast (was local, on sale for $75 and in stock) with the intentions of getting either of the high priced spreads later on, but it has surprised me with it's "better than I expected performance" so far, that I have put off getting the J&S or Pit Bull.

The only issues I've heard/read about with the "lesser" jacks is that they have left a fellow with his bike in the raised position when the bottle jack failed, but I have never heard of any damage to a scoot due to using one of the cheaper ones.

I suspect that there is some sort of regulatory agency that makes sure they are up to the advertised task, in order to be sold in the US, and I have some sense of security with possible recourse back to Sears if it failed and dumped my bike, injuring either it and/or me.

That said ..... if I had first hand knowledge of anybody damaging their scoot because of a failure of these jacks when in proper use, or I needed the additional few inches of height ability of the premium jacks, and/or their other features, I might be more inclined to spend over 8 times as much as I did, but I'm pretty happy with my $75 Sears jack, and am thinking the savings will probably end up going into my tank.
