I really like the stock jack. Never had one break, but I bent one of them (the screw part), and still use it just to see if it'll keep on working. The bend happened when I had a mishap involving a full load of firewood and an insufficient wheel chock. Also I live in an area with a LOT of old nails (this is a ghost town which was burned down twice and flooded once, and there are literally millions of old nails everywhere) and have more flats than most people, but the stock jack has worked for me every time. Only thing I don't like about the stock jack is the little plastic gear protector on top is liable to come off and get lost.
