My biggest problem with jacks is and this may be really, really stupid but I'd imagine that you can't actually "work" on the bike on the jack right? I mean if you remove a tire, for example, wouldn't that fuck up the balance and cause the bike to fall? I told you it was a stupid question btw! Oh and I mean with the Craftman, not the "Uber-jack"
Yeah with the crapsman jack you're right. But not with the J&S or pitbulls.
