I was looking for a, (inexpensive), (I won't use it much), (compact) easy to store, motorcycle lift. This tool hits all those boxes. I used it yesterday to change a chain on my motorcycle. I kept the weight close to the tools crank, it's stronger in that area. The tool worked great, no problems. It's a little tippy, but its COMPACT, an acceptable trade-off for me. For the PRICE it's a great tool!
