Redsxnation says "Did not do what I had hoped" about Craftsman Motorcycle/ATV Jack

Redsxnation — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 22:36:31 GMT

Could not be used to remove the rear tire on a 2001 Honda Shadow 600 VLX. After the rear tire was off I was able to use it to remove the front tire. the lifts were to wide and the jack was not low enough to get under my bike. Had to block the front to get the rear then I was able to put the jack under the rear section to stablize the fram and remove the front.

Wbruiser2 says "Not a great choice for Motorcycles" about Craftsman Motorcycle/ATV Jack

Wbruiser2 — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 18:16:45 GMT

This jack is not great a choice specifically Harley's and especially if it's been lowered. But for any Harley, you might as well go ahead and remove the rubber pads from the lift because they will be torn off after a few uses. I've had my jack for over 4 years and all though it still works, when lowering the bike it starts bouncing. Also, if used for changing oil and transmission fluid, expect to get creative when trying not to make a mess because the jack is not service friendly....

I've had this jack since 2003 and have used it so much i wore the pads out on the part that supports the motorcycle. its paid for itself 20-30 times over by not paying a dealership to do some of the work.....

modette says "Motorcycle Jack" about Craftsman Motorcycle/ATV Jack

modette — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 21:48:29 GMT

I've had this for over 7 years now (got it in 2004). Got it as a gift, it works great, I've had no problems what so ever with this jack/lift. Great for lifting the various motorcycles I have owned, great getting them up to work on them, I've also used it to support my front differential on my Jeep Grand Cherokee too. I have had no issues, problems and mine still looks pretty mint, gues sI keep my stuff cleaned and in working order.

remcofish says "good points, bad points" about Craftsman Motorcycle/ATV Jack

remcofish — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 12:19:55 GMT

I have a v-star 1100, 5 1/8" is too high, had to drive onto 2x4's to get jack under it, the pads the bike sits on are too short and I almost had the bike on the ground. the jack handled the weight quite well, very smooth raising and lowering. Very heavy and strong it could handle more weight...

BBLAGG says "Craftsman Motorcycle Jack~Perfect for any job " about Craftsman Motorcycle/ATV Jack

BBLAGG — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 15:04:33 GMT

This jack is perfect for our Harley Davidson Heritage Softtail Classic. It cost less than the recommended ones in the biker catalogs. It was available in-store (so we saved even more on shipping fees). It's easy to use, very sturdy, & we expect it will be durable as well since it is a Craftsman. We could not be more pleased with this purchase & would recommend it to others. If you're in the market for a jack for a heavier bike, or any bike or ATV compare this to the ones in the specialty catalogs. You'll find the same features at a higher price with a shipping fee AND without the Craftsman name & quality. There is a Sears store near everyone, go get one!...

saterry says "Welded joint failed" about Craftsman Motorcycle/ATV Jack

saterry — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 15:45:52 GMT

This seemed like a good piece of equipment at first. I have only used it a few times and the weld broke where the handle attaches to the jack frame. No parts available from Sears. I expect much better quality when a tool has the Craftsman name on it. Buyer beware!

BigABldrs says "Junk and no repair parts available; Disposable" about Craftsman Motorcycle/ATV Jack

BigABldrs — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 15:30:26 GMT

Jack failed and no parts available to fix it Junk. The new Sears Mantra, make junk, sell the junk and no parts to fix it so hopefully they'll buy more of our junk. What a shame. Craftsman used to be something of value.

setfreemm says "Awesome product (Mechanic 35 yrs.)" about Craftsman Motorcycle/ATV Jack

setfreemm — Mon, 30 May 2011 02:58:16 GMT

Can't beat this for the money. If your a owner of a bike,ATV, Go kart, Ect. Buy it.
It works great. The lock works well, moves around on smooth to rough concrete and asphalt and works just fine. I read a bad review on here and would disregard the comments. If your just the owner, operator and fix it yourself guy it's perfect. There are,,, three four hundred dollar aluminum jacks lighter and maybe a little more convienient if you want, but on sale for 99.99 makes this jack a great deal. I might tweek a few things as I see fit but.... I wouldn't have a problem raising a 10,000 dollar Harley or anything else for that matter as long as you have knowledge enough to know where to pick up the bike keeping the weight distributed evenly, within the jack rating and strapping it down. The only problem I would see at this point would be lifting a wide full dresser or something of that realm (be like balancing a golf ball on a needle. Can be used for other things also. Works great for dropping...

JackSchitt says "No repair parts for the Craftsman Motorcycle/ATV Jack" about Craftsman Motorcycle/ATV Jack

JackSchitt — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 18:53:55 GMT

The bottle jack failed after one year. The jack was elevated and would not go down. I was very disapointed to learn that no repair parts were available from sears for the jack. I tried to repair the bottle jack but gave up when I became convinced that the bottle jack had a design flaw.

I was able to repair the Motorcycle/ATV Jack by replacing the bottle jack with one I ordered online from ****** ******* tools, a large tool importer. However some minor modifications were required to make it fit. Next time I will shop elsewhere.

DennisinNH says "Works on my 2007 Vstar 1300 with a little pull" about Craftsman Motorcycle/ATV Jack

DennisinNH — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 02:23:41 GMT

With jack and me on the right side of the bike, I had to pull my bike toward me to get my Vstar 1300 vertical so I could get the stand completely under it. I then laid the bike back onto the kick stand. I was then able to lift it up ok.

I'm very happy that this jack included rachet/straps. I used them to keep the bike nice and stable.

I used this to install some Progressive Springs on the front and it worked out well.

I hope this thing lasts.

Assembly was pretty straight forward; the picture on the box really helps. The manual is half as lengthy as it looks because half of it is in Spanish.

The only downside I found is that the casters put marks on my garage floor. Transport could be interesting depending on your size/strength as it weighs about 80 pounds. I park the unit ahead of my car and drive up to where the front of the car is over it (but not touching it or the handle); this seems like a reasonable way to store it in a crowded garage.

joshuaocn says "Craftsman Motorcycle lift is money!" about Craftsman Motorcycle/ATV Jack

joshuaocn — Sat, 02 Apr 2011 03:41:54 GMT

This lift is perferct for the work I've done on my 1994 Fatboy. Its a pretty heavy bike and in the year Ive owned this lift it hasnt let me down once. Excellent quality in name, price and durability. I use only craftsman tools and would never think of anything else.
