Default small but powerful/lasting floor jacks?

does such thing exist? the little cheap $40-50 jacks works okay for a while but usually leaks soon and can't hold the car up, or can't even jack it up to full height. are there jacks $150 or less than is well built but easily portable like the smaller floor jacks which aren't too heavy really.

i mean ideally for people with trailer and such a full size floor jack is no issue but for those of us that just track our street cars frequently I'd like to get a small jack that's durable.

if anyone know of such a beast please post. i don't mind using the stock scissor jack for exercise, but sometimes i wanna be able to jack up the car in 15 seconds.

awesome jack, i know someone that has it... but it's @ $400 + shipping...

I'm still waiting for someone to tell me they can beat my 24v Dewalt and the scissor jack... I use an air wrench when in the garage to raise and lower the car... the Dewalt @ the track

My Craftsman 2 ton jack is great. Not something portable of course, but raise the car high enough to get underneath. Comes with two free jackstands if you buy the package.
