This site has some excellent info on jack's and jack stands:
The following page specifically addresses the question and is titled, "Which Floor Jack Is Best For Me? Page". It talks about getting approx 10 uses from a Chinese floor jack, which seems realistic, since a friend of mine got exactly 9: http://www.hyjacks.com/wichjac.htm
Other pages of interest - Jack Basics: http://www.hyjacks.com/H7.HTM General Floor Jack History: http://www.hyjacks.com/H2.HTM Hope this helps....
