Default ATV Jacks

Anybody using those hydraulic ATV jacks are advertised so much lately? It seems like everyone is selling them with most running under 100 dollars. I guess it beats messing around with floor jacks, blocks and jack stands. Is it one of those things that sound useful but ends up covered in dust in the corner of the garage?

Example:
Craftsman ATV Jack

I have used them they are great but i really dont know why you would use one. they dont raise it high enought to work on it standing and if you want to change a tire you just put the jack under that side of that axle. io personally think they are a waste of money

I have one and love it. You can jack the quad up while working on it. It rasies it high enough, so your not bending over all the timeI'm getting old[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]) If whatever your doing to it, takes more then a day or so, you can move it around pretty easy[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]so, the quad isn't taking up the middle of the garage or shop for days[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I bought one of Pep Boy's for around 40 on sale. It is extremely helpful, esp. for doing brakes.
