do not buy a jack from autozone
we bought a jack from autozone, thing failed and the car dropped onto a jackstand.
here's the kicker: we went and returned it today and the manager actually told us that 1 out of 6 of those duralast jacks fail.... hmmm and they still sell them knowing that.

I bought a 3 1/2 ton jack from Kragen, Proxone I think is the brand (orange/black), had it for about 6 months now, not the fastest lifting jack, but its durable and has worked well on numerous occations already. Kragen had a great deal on this jack with (2) 3 1/2 ton jack stands and a creeper so I jumped on it.

I have never got under a car that only had a jack holding it up. Change a tire, maybe do the brakes (with the wheel under the rocker panel btw). If someone is that careless to actually get under it with only the jack Sucks to be them when the car falls on their head. Never trust a jack when it could hurt or kill you
