I want to buy one that will outlive me. Any recommendations?

Was in the same position a couple of years ago and ended up buying a Sealey Yankee low-entry 2-tonne jack as it offered the best value for money at around £60. It's heavy, but rolls under my track car no probs and has seen a lot of use without grumble. Easy to bleed.

If I were to buy again, I would be the extra £20-£30 to get a rocket lift. Definitley a useful feature.

I should add that my friend has one of the aluminium Arcan trolley jacks which is a wonderful bit of kit! But not cheap.

Costco do a 3 ton jack . Lifts average cars with ease, comes with a rubber pad as well. Got an arcan one as well, slightly more work to lift a saloon over 1500kg

I've got an Arcon, not cheap as Motorhole said, but well worth the outlay. It's a 2 tonne lift (1800kg) but doesn't weigh a bloody lot so makes for ease of use.

The jack in the last post is a dead ringer for machine marts 2.5 ton low entry offering best piece of kit I have bought in years , have not compared prices but I doubt you will buy better
