You'll love working from that. Here in NZ i used one every day at work 20 years ago. Was the same one but earlier version imported from the USA & had side pods plus a wide ramp which was the option for working on quads, as every day for me was working on Suzuki's quads mostly. I'd say every shop in NZ had one & no doubt still does. Enjoy.

What a great wife. Lucky man! Mine does things like this for me all the time. I need to get better at returning the thoughtfulness. Funny, I was just looking into one of these. They're not cheap for a good one. ...one day!

Snip:

If you decide to go with the Harbor Freight version, be sure to insist on the earlier SKU number. They had two different SKU numbers and I have heard the newest version has issues related to the lower side frames. The older version has channel shaped side frames and the newer version does not. So the newer version can buckle under heavier loads. I have the older version and got it for considerably less by using coupons. I love it!

Two choices
 

older better version
 

newer not so good version
