I guess it depends on what you want to use it for.  I found that there is 
a range of prices, but what I ended up with was a 2-ton jack (sorry, 
don't know the name off-hand) that I bought at my local large auto parts 
chain (Trak Auto).  Cost me $40 bucks, and it hasn't "let me down" yet, 
but I use it only for putting my Spit and GT6 in the air to get them on 
jack stands, and I sure don't bet my life on it ...
