OTOH, I've had a Chicago Electric angle grinder that I have abused for 3 years. Like you said, hit or miss. I've never had any use for a motorcycle lift, but that one should be fine IF IT FITS YOUR BIKES. Jerry.

Their wrenches and screwdrivers tend to chew up bolts and screws too. That's why I use Snap On and MAC almost exclusively. But then I get a big discount of the stuff from the took truck too. To me nothing is more frustrating than trying to use cheap crappy hand tools that don't fit right, chew up fasteners, bend, and break. I swear some of the "tool kits" that come with bikes are better than these cheesy Chinese pieces of junk.


Their drill bits are junk too, but I had a Chicago Electric drill, bench grinder, and angle grinder that took all kinds of abuse. The drill finally burned out after about 5 years of hard use, I still have the bench grinder and angle grinder, the engine crane still works fine after pulling and reinstalling 5 engines, and it only cost around $200. But then there was an unknown brand dremel type tool that lasted about a week before the switch broke. But I think large heavy items like floor jacks, lifts, and cranes are mostly ok. Jerry.

Hello, I bought a Lift at Northern Tool Co. That looks real close to yours, Mine works super, I put my Harley on it and it has no problem at all, and doesn't feal like it's going to tip at all real safe unit, you MUST USE THE STRAPS !!!!!! If the Lift does not have a place for straps, DON"T BUY IT!!!!

On my Northern Tool Lift, I was able to put a High Quality Hyd. jack in place of the one that came on it, Fit right in and I get a couple more inches in hight out of it, I just happen to have the other Jack around, and had a brain fart to see if it would fit, It was a extra 5k lbs. also, Just a thought if you start having leak-down troubles.
