    for $100 it's cheap enought for sure, stuff knows how they can make it for that price

    but they still need to source all the bits put it together and ship it then distribute it and make a margin.
    I buy a bit of chinese gear but this thing is a lot of work for stuff all cost.
    Hope the hydraulics last for those using it

    yea I know it locks out but a real prick the day you want to work on the bike and the hydraulics give up the ghost.
    Seems plenty of people using these and the repco ones so they cant be all bad

     These were expensive when they first came out, mine was an orange one called pro lift and it cost $270. about 5 years ago.  I think there all the same. Good bit of kit. Don't miss one for $100.

    They look good. Jack is a standard looking bottlejack so should be easy to repair replace. Beside,now SCA have them this cheap, I would expect Repco or Autobarn to follow suit.
    I think it may work as a gearbox jack if you are doing a clutch on the floor. Couldnt refuse it for $100.
    The hydraulics are rated to 650KG too. So there is plenty of power without overstressing it.

    thats a lot of work but a great home build. The only issue I see is cant get the front wheel off

     Height is good and bench would be handy to, but the unit takes up to much space and would be heavy/awkward to move. + you still need a jack.=  $$$$$$$$$

    I've got a Kingchrome badged version of these bike lifts, I've used it to just about rebuild the 650 trail bike from end to end. They make working on a bike so much quicker and easier. Mine was on special for $129 (and I thought that was cheap) $100 is a bloody bargain!
