lots of floor jacks out there but I used to have one that would allow all four wheels to oscillate.  Does anyone know of a model like that or what are you using that you like?

J&S jacks are made in the USA and are worlds apart from ANY OTHER JACK, PERIOD.  https://jsjacks.com/

Other side view.

The J&S is a nice unit, i had one but I now use a Pitbull because of the "table" that allows the bike to be rotated while lifted. This makes it better for me, I can sit on a creeper stool and spin the bike as I clean/detail. The J&S is just as good of a lift (no better IMHO) but does not offer the roller bearing supported table.
I have noticed several lately on Craigs list here local, might check that. Back to your original thread topic, I know of none with 4 pivot wheels but they have the pivot wheels at Home Depot, Harbor Freight etc if you really want them.
That being said, I have not seen the Pitbull guys at Daytona for awhile, R they still in business?

[dm930]

I found no real use for the pivoting table as I can roll around it on my Snap-On work seat.  DO NOT buy the Harbor Freight version.  It's a pile of crap.  The flex in it is unsafe.

[CVODON]

Have you actually used the pivot table? You can turn the bike so YOU are always on the side without the jack. Makes you closer and bike more accessible. Rolling me around the bike never achieves this. No comparison for me. And as I said I at one time owned both but sold the J&S after using the spin table on Pitbull.

I would have trouble spinning the bike on the table in my garage.  Don't think I'd have enough space for it.  Do you have a pic of it or a link to yours?

This is the one I have.    I like that I can hook up the air...

I agree.  I have had one for five years and love it.  Watch their videos on utube or their website.     Great people at a small company in Wisconsin.  You can buy one at their plant near Appleton and save shipping

X2 on that!

Depends on how much $$ you want to spend and what you use it for. My Sears Craftsman $89 jack works perfect for myself and friends....

Hard to believe J&S is asking $500 for their lift.  I've used both Pitbull and J&S, and I like the Pitbull better; it comes with the T-Handle, the one-piece locking device, and a foot pedal to lower the lift.

Much more convenient to lower the Pitbull while standing (with J&S, you have to kneel to release the bottle jack) and to engage/release both of the lock arms simultaneously with one hand.

and to engage/release both of the lock arms simultaneously with one hand.

this i'm not following.  the lock arms are easy to engage or disengage.  esp. engage.  flip them over, however you want whether it be with one hand, one per hand, one per hand and foot, whatever....  and then as you jack it up, they will go into a lock slot.  jack it up further, and they go into the next slot.  until you reach the top.  to disengage, you just have to pump it up a little to release pressure, then you can flip them up, again, however it floats your boat to do so.  then when you release the valve on the jack, it slowly lowers to the ground.

i do no have to do any funky gymnastics to do so   

[dm930]

Skratch is pretty spot on.... But whatever floats your boat.  I also like that J&S is built in the US.  (Wisconsin).  It's a very high-quality product, so you get what you pay for.

To each his own.  I've used both Pitbull and J&S, and I like the Pitbull better.  JMO with reasons why.
