Re:Lifts/stand advise 4 Months ago  
I've gotten tired of returning stuff to Harbor Freight. I've been using my red craftsman for a while. Upon inspection of both if you don't have the hydraulics constantly under pressure any should be fine. but i don't buy anything from harbor freight anymore, too many quality issues.

I use it frequently for cleaning, maintenance, etc.

Remove the two insert pieces on top and just use the regular rails for Roadstars.

works great for me


+++++++1, Have has mine for 4 years, NEVER a problem! Works on my Roadstar and my Quads! Money NEVER better spent.

I found a brand new, still in the box, Craftsman on CL. The guy is asking $100 so I am taking a ride up tomorrow morning when I get off work.
And the weather for Saturday is supposed to be mid-50s and sunny!

One of the Auto Zone stores here had one in stock but it looked the same as a Harbor Freight model. The Craftsman and the more expensive HF units look the safest. I hate the idea of something as large as an R* falling off.
