so i took the plunge and bought the craftsman motorcycle/ATV jack at the local SEARS today, on sale for 99.99. I was hesitant to actually try this, as on the SEARS website it received tons of bad reviews, but a couple other members on here have used it and have been pretty pleased with it. i decided to post some initial feedback as to what i have expierienced thus far:
overall, the build of the jack itself seems craftsman solid. there was some assembly required but nothing too big. my only real "complaint" if you can call it that is that the foot pedal to actually raise the jack feels awfully flimsy and not too solid. the jack gets the motorcycle up nicely though, and is easily done even if you are by yourself. most of the bad reviews were due to a hydraulic oil leak, but only time will tell if i encounter that. anywho, here are some pics for those of you who are interested in seeing where it pics up the bike, and how high it can get it.
