"your FLAPS should carry them too.  I have both the HF and AC Delco
version of these LW aluminum jacks - both ran me about 65 bucks on
respective sale.  The AC Delco is much better built, and has three
nice features lacking in the HF jack:  The AC Delco has:
Quick release push button spring pin holding the two halves of the handle
'Return to vertical' handle spring.
Roller bearing on the handle-hinge>pump piston

The HF model uses a cheap hardware bolt you don't want to lose, no
return to vertical spring action (read: "bonk"), and a higher effort
lever action on the handle.  "

Harbor Freight makes a couple of versions.  The one I have has all the
features Scott mentions.  It's HF's "Rapid Pump" model #47246 ... currently
$130  It's been great for me.

HF has a lower cost version, currently at ~$70.  I don't remember the
difference, but I looked at both in the store and decided the extra $$ was
worth it.
