Don't waste your time with the small ones. You'll go through them. It's worth the few extra dollars to get a decent one. I got this one from Sears and have been very happy with it. Good trade-off btwn price and capability.

Don't buy this one, I have had 3 replaced under warranty and they all leak down when in use and leave jack oil puddles when not in use. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...&blockType=G54

I like the StrongArm Jacks and tools, great warranty (and they actually abide by it) -- STAY AWAY FROM OTC EVERYONE -- I say this not because they're a bad product but they will not warranty ANYTHING, They just say abuse and won't even fix it even for money, they just say to bad buy another one...
I paid 750$ for a mechanic jack (long) and one week later We by accident side loaded it a bit (trying to swing the ars of a truck over) and it twisted the frame a BIT, sent it in and they said buy another jack sorry for you luck. I offered to have it repaired and they said nope new jack.
Soooo I drove a 5 ton truck over it and it been fine ever since...
