Default Quality jack?

Greetings all, from Alabama.

I carry a small floor jack in the tool box of my 2001 GMC 3500 dually; but in about a year or so they all fail; typically leaks. Where can I buy a quality floor jack of a size to still fit in the bed tool box?

I tried a floor jack in the truck, didn't work out so good. To be heavy enough to safely handle our trucks they are just to big to haul around. Here's my jack of choice to carry. Powerbuilt 3 Ton Jack & Jack Stand - 1160455 | Tractor Supply Company

After trapping the fingers in the factory supplied jack with the folding extension I bought a hydraulic telescopic jack.
They are pricey, but not to be compared with those asian models. I do like the top, supporting the round axle- no slip off danger, when lifting the axle.

They don't leak like the cheap models.
