Hey urankjj,

Hope that photo is from when you jacked up the bike to change that rear tire! Too many smokey burnouts on that one.

Another vote for the Harbor Freight.

I bought mine brand new & has served me well for the last 12 years or so...

Yes that is true. All the mileage on that tire definitely went up in smoke. But it sure smelled good gettin there.

Looks like good mechanic aerobics and no place to put tools and parts. I often use my lift for extra adjustable work bench.

Looks like you can't pull swing arm with that fancy lift.

Can you pull a motor, or install a motor with that lift.

Really, who need a ABBA lift to pull a swing arm or to pull or install a motor?
Did you only use your Harbor Freight lift for the same Task??? Nada!!!
Every lift or stand has his pro and cons but only the ABBA lift is able to move a lifted bike!!!

I pull swing arms off my bikes on my lift all the time.

Pull and install motors on my lift all the time. My bench is same height as lift. Lift motor, turn, and place motor on bench!!!! Easy as hell!!!!

Place bike sideways on lift and pull front wheel and forks all the time.

EVERYTHING I do to my bikes is done on my lift. I don't work on the floor, and I have not since back in the very early 70's!!!!!

To get all wheels off the ground you need a second and third lift.....

You can roll the bike around on the HF lift. I wouldn't with it raised up, but when lowered it rolls ok (cheap wheels).
