I also have the Costco floor jack. It is made by Allied. The only problem
that I have encountered in 12 years are the bearings around the rear
wheels. They broke about 1 year after buying it. I have yet to fix them
but it still works fine even with the broken bearings. It has been that
way for 11 years and I also used it for a small auto shop I ran for about 3
years. Seems real durable, no complaints yet. Definitely get jack stands
though. I bought a set of cheap ones that work great from Discount Auto
Parts for $10. They are 4 post and do a great job. I had a car up on 4 of
them for 0ver 1 year and no problems. Other than having to buy new ones
because the old ones were being used and I needed them.
