I use a harbor freight jack and it hasn't let me down yet. I do clean it and take care of it though.

What the others have said so far. In my garage I prefer motorcycle/atv jack stands since they can roll around and be out of the way when needed. Harbor Freight jack here as well. About 8 years old now and still working great after hundreds of motorcycles being lifted by them. Probably spoke to soon here, hope I didn't jinx myself.
