My Ultra is setting on my jack under a cover as I speak.

It's definitely economical, but you get what you pay for w/this jack & after going to local HF store, elevating & standing on it...very unstable. I'd say it's good for lightweight bikes (i.e. dirt, small street) - not beefy enough for HD, or anything over 500lbs...JMO.
Maybe the jack at the store wasn't put together correctly; I have one and its very stable, no issues at all.

I havent seen a jack that has been stable yet besides the J&S. My aluminum craftsman is as wobbly as it gets. Is my bike going to fall off? Not unless I stop using my brain and allow it to happen.. These WI boys know how to build jacks, and fine tune some 107's"

Just found out there's a Harbor Freight just down the street from where I work. That yellow jack has my name on it.

Yeah that's kinda what I'm thinkin'. Fixin' to add on to the garage (can't have a detached building) and will have room for a lift. Been lookin' at the HF lift, but it just doesn't strike my fancy, for several reasons. Hate to spend a grand + for no more than I wrench, but sure like the look the of those high dollar lifts better than the HF. Money being what it is now days, may end up with one anyway since they do get good reviews here....we shall see.

I have the lift table and love it! I changed the rear wheel this summer on the lift table and the yellow aluminum jack from HF, however change the wheel chock first thing. I also have the wheel chock shown in the ad on my table and another on my trailer. no clearence problemc with fender but wheel must be centered or rotors could touch on one side!
