My two cents worth.
All these lifts that support the bike like this one are very unstable when
you really want to yard on something. I used lots of them over the years.
Fine for simple things, but, the pits when you want to put a 3 foot
extension on a breaker bar and get something loose or apply any forces at
any kind of tangent to the bike.
I still have two sitting in a corner which I use on occasion.
I finally found a virtually new, but, used price on a proper lift has a
bike length platform supporting the wheels; removable plate for wheel etc.
etc.
My life changed after that.
Wrenching became fun again as I could position the work area to exactly
right height for sitting on a stool or whatever and work comfortable.
Important stuff when you are a decrepit old bastard like me.

For all those who were looking for a lift, here is one I found in Walneck's.
