I had the $70 Mack big floor jack from Wal-Mart and it sucked. It stopped holding after about a month. I also had one of the $80 www.homier.com 35# aluminum track jacks that blew out after a year and a half.
I have since replaced the mack with a harbor freight floor jack that was on sale for $40. I replaced the track jack with a Wal-Mart special with comes in a plastic case for $28. They have both worked perfectly so far for 2 months and 4 months respectively..

yes my walmart jack slipped after like 6 months of occasional use.
I got that craftsman jack, man is it beefy. I got it with a creeper and a set of jackstands for a 100 bucks. Great deal

A jack holding up a 1 ton vehicle with you under it, granted you will have jack stands under there to I don't think I'd trust a cheapy jack.

I got mine from Costco. Lifts high enough for motor swaps and has lasted years now.
What brand and model is it? Not even Larry's jack got my car high enough in one shot, and that one was huge and heavy enough that I couldn't pick it up without hurting my back.

I will check when I get home. It got it so high that I needed to put blocks under the jackstands I had.
walmart jacks suck. you get what you pay for. safety is worth more.
Well, the jack is only used to get the car up - I use jackstands, so a crappy jack isn't really a safety issue. It would just suck for my car is it fell on the jackstands before they were positioned right.

Ouch - that sucks. I guess I'll have to be careful of then when lifting my car.
