I've had 2 jacks I bought from Sears fail. One collapsed while I was under the car leaving the car supported by the jack stand. The other failed after only a couple of years use.
I bought an AC Hydraulic floor jack and have been happy ever since. Jacks and jack stands are not the place to cut corners.
ALWAYS, ALWAYS USE JACK STANDS WHEN YOU GET UNDER THE CAR....EVEN IF IT IS ONLY A PART OF YOUR BODY. There really are no body parts that will support a car very well.
As a footnote: cinder blocks are known to shatter suddenly when used to support a car.
And yes, I know that there are other opinions on this subject. This is one area where a tool failure can hurt you.
