Side by Side Comparison of: Best Choice Products vs OTC

great price great unit

Works very well for me. I have several and use them to support my Harleys. I don't work off them. I just keep the bikes upright to conserve space in my garage. But if I wanted to pull a wheel off or do any other work while on these I wouldn't hesitate. They are sturdy enough.

It works good for me on my ultras

This jack lifted my 660 pound 1300cc Honda Sabre very well and I was able to take the front wheel off to change the tire. The Honda was so stable when lifted on the jack that I did not even need to strap it to the jack to hold the bike steady. I am really impressed with it.

Forget my EZ jacks I utilized these by making some mount that tied into my EZ jack mounts on my dragster (FED) any they work great!!! No $2500. EZ jack crap for this guy rather put the money into my car than just to lift my car. Good stuff Still use a static stand in the middle of the car in conjunction with these for jacked start ups for stability...

This jack is well built at 33#. The screw Drive is smooth and the included tool is large enough to give you the leverage you need to lift a full size Motorcycle. The 2 adjustable frame standoffs screw up and down to adjust for any offset in the bikes frame, and they also are completely removable if you have a sturdy flat surface like the 3 mm thick Skid plate on a Yamaha Super Tenere XT1200Z or BMW_1200_GS.

Functional but handle too short, hard to turn

Great space saver when you just want to do an oil change, brake job or tire change on your motorcycle. Pretty light for the amount of weight it will handle. I have used this on my softail many times as well as my dad's bagger. It is kind of nice to use this while fixing our kids bikes as well as it gets it enough off the ground and holds it in place. I would give it 5 stars but they probably could add another 3 or 4 inches to the stabilizers. I will say that I have not had an issue but am mindful not to bounce things around too much while on the jack.

This thing is solid and works perfect for my bike. Great value.

Good idea to add a non-slip surface between jack and lift surface.

The lift worked good but it could be made to be a bit more stable. When you lift the jack up, the sliding scissors lift pulls to one side. This makes the lift less stable the higher you lift up. Still a good lift for the money.

This jack is exactly as I expected for an import quality product. The price was good, the product is adequate for what my use is. The only caution is that you should not be overconfident of the strength of this jack at its rated maximum, the steel is not as good quality as an American built jack, but for the price it is a bargain. I recommend this product and the seller with the one caveat that "you get what you pay for".

heavy duty, but only 17inch range of lift

I use this stand quite often. The base is stable enough, but the top sways when any kind of lateral movement is applied. It is kind of scary if you have it extended more than four inches off the ground. I recommend it if you want a light weight portable jack, but if you are going to do any extensive maintenance, a pneumatic jack would be worth the investment.

Feels solid, works smoothly. It needs a stop to prevent full extension when handling the jack itself (scissors to full height when top plate is lifted). Excellent for occasional use, it would be annoying if used everyday.

Didn't last 2 months

I purchased two of these lifts for a project on my motorcycle which is about 900 lbs. As another reviewer wrote, the same pin broke on one of my two scissor jacks. I was using two jacks to lift my 2008 ultra classic and the pin snapped on the back lift causing the bike to fall. If it was not on the other jack the bike would have dropped. I'm not too upset since my bike didn't drop, but for the pin to snap on a jack that is not maxed out says a lot about the quality of this lift. Spend more money for a higher quality lift, because these are junk.

The pin that holds the nut to the threaded screw that raises and holds the lift broke immediately. This caused the Harley to fall. How much more would it have cost to supply a hardened pin? They went cheap on the most vital part on the lift. Do not use this lift without first replacing the pin with a hardened one.
