A week ago I broke down and bought a HF cycle lift. Figured if I was going to have several minis I needed to be able to work on them standing up. Did some maintenance on the Tote Gote today and having that lift made a world of difference compared to sitting on a stool and having to get up and down many times before the job is finished. It made the work enjoyable like it is supposed to be. I could certainly recommend the lift for anyone who has trouble getting up and down or working bent over.
I have the Craftsman version of the above as well. Well...its my father-in-law's that I borrowed and never returned. He is right next door if he really needs it. LOL. I use it for working on ATV's or taking the weight off of my Harley forks for winter storage. If you have a rolling stool. Its an ok height. Otherwise, spend more and get the HF full size deal. I use a brand name version at my side job and it make life easy for repairs. Combine it with a center lift jack and the back part can come off and now you can change the rear tire without having to worry about the bike falling over.
