Ok I saw that Lift at Sears and thought "Hey I have a idea"..after discussing it with My friend Ted we questioned it ..Then I could not stop thinking how perfect it would be  to pull a motor with..!!..Well it just so happened that my friend Dan had one for his Bike Happily lending it to me to try it out I did !!...Worked like a charm..!! no more hoping it does not tip or fall off that Jack pad !......I love it Running out to Sears to pick one up ...A.S.A.P....It's on sale for $179.99....!..Not bad in my book !

Sounds like the hot ticket, I'm next in line to try it to swap out my motor with another. Looks like it makes life simpler.

This is what I use.  Sturdy enough to run an engine on when its lowered down.  Mine doesn't have the long strange handle though.
