I use the Sears jack. You can operate the whole thing with one foot, locks at three positions, and you can roll it around w/ bike on it (has a t-bar handle included). I think I paid about 90 bucks for it. It's great for washing whitewalls as well

Re:Best Bike Jack? 5 Years, 1 Month ago  
I got mine at Sears (Craftsman M/C Jack) and paid about $100 for it; I see it's now on sale at Sears for much less.

I looked at the m/c jack sold by Pep Boys and didn't like it. Here's why: If you look at the 2 rubber padded supports (the two flat strips that support the Road* frame), you'll notice that the Craftman supports are not only longer and wider, but they are also flat. The Pep Boys jack had raised ridges on both ends of the strips, which looked problematic for maneuvering and supporting.

The Craftsman jack also includes some very nice webbed support straps and a convenient foot pedal which allows you to lower the jack slowly, quickly, part way, etc.

Good luck!
