sure, the jack bent ... now when i lift my car with it, only the long roller and right caster stay on the ground

Ah, I guess that's a bad thing
Maybe a steel bodied one would be the better choice then?

I have yet to hear of a person that has complained. I've had mine for 6 years.

My grandpa bought the harbor freight jack... it's pretty solidly built nd impressive considering the other junk they sell.

If you want quality, Bluepoint makes a low pro jack for like $425
