works well for me..

 

I've had mine for 4 or 5 years and it has served me well.

The front wheel/tire clamp isn't the best, but it works. I always use shop towels between the clamp and the sides of the tires.

I like the "insurance" of using tie-downs and the lift platform needs more attachment points for these.

The platform is narrow. The professional lifts that I've used were wide enough that I could ride-up onto the platform, put my feet down on the platform,dismount, then deploy a side or center stand. The only way that I could do this with the Harbor Freight lift would be if my legs were 6-8" longer, so that I could reach the floor, so I have to push my bike up onto the lift and deploy my E-Z lift center stand.

 

I have had no trouble with mine. I also. Switched out the chock.

 

I kept looking at them at the HF local store. For $200 I ended up getting a J&S Jack off of my local CraigsList. I may get a lift one day for that extra height, but I just don't have the room right now to store it.

 

Check out my post on the red HF jack.... Gets you up 30 inches..... That and a roll around seat and you're set for working on rims....

 

had mine for about 6 years but like everone said I changed the wheel chock almost right away, I also put spray on bed liner on it, it was slipery do drive on with wet tires, the bed liner took care of that

 

I bought the HF table a few years ago. It serves me well. I replaced the wheel clamp with the HF motorcycle wheel chock. I also bought a Drag specialites Flat Jack to lift the bike while on the table for front or rear wheel removal. Once it's up on the flat jack I can remove the upright components of the front wheel chock to remove the wheel.

The one thing I would like is for the table to be a bit easier to move around when the bike is on it.
As far as the earlier post saying it was all junk, I'm not sure what else would be needed with this table. It's a basic table with a foot pump to raise the table. If ya want an air system, ya need to pay more for it. If ya need something more high end, then put out more money.

 

Well you seem to be well in the minority on this one

Do you have one or have you ever had it?

Cause I've read no less than 4 threads with hundreds of posts and almost every single person with one enjoys it and sees the value at 300

 

I got mine because of the posts on this forum inperticuler. I think it is for the money the best one to get. I to changed the wheel chock,but for a total of 405.00 with a 2 year warranty couldn't pass it up.

 

is the HF lift junk? maybe but for what I paid for it and as long as I have had it I have not had one time where it has not worked. yes I could have spent 4X as much for other lifts then I could have kept it waxed and buffed to show all my buddys my BMW of lifts but then I would have been scared to change oil or bleed the brakes cause I might hurt the paint job. the way I see it is even if it does brake in a few years (that would be about 10 years I've had it) I can buy 2 more and still come out ahead, and if you do the math that would put me in my 70's so at that point I don't think it would matter that much anymore. Just my 2 cents
