Leaks an prone to bits dropping off
Lift height is more important than swl. Some of the smaller cheapies have a very limited height. A longer arm is better as there's less horizontal movement

'tis the one I have....
Lift still not tall enough to lift the L322 on the sill jacking points, so I use wood planks to raise jack and a wooden spreader on the jacking cup...
For a complete rear lift, I use a 12tonne bottle jack on wooden blocks to get the lift....I then lower and reposition the bottle jack for the final lift....the articulation of the L322 is quite impressive...
For the P38 lifting on the axle the Yankee is perfect!
I have a 2.5 ton Epco i bought in the seventies new for about £48.00 still going strong. Same size/quality today would be a few hundred quid. The £100.00 jacks from Halfrauds Sealey Etc are toys by comparison.

What about something like this
2.5 Ton High Lift Trolley Jack For 4x4, Vans, SUV's
No messing about with blocks of wood, so should be quicker and safer!

That is a low lift with an extension fitted. Foot pad is to small in my opinion could easily slip off. These things are toys. Anything with plastic wheels is a no no in my view. Just cheap and cheerful toys. Look at the price of S/H Epco jacks on Ebay to give you some impression of what a proper jack costs.

Get yourself a proper jack and itll last forever
Mine came off a mate out of torrie road bus depot when it closed (about 12years ago and it was old then)couldn't tell you the make as its scratched and beaten with spray paint all over it but its huge and lifts the entire front end about a foot off the ground
Must weigh 40kg though

Maybe 40 years or more old and cost less than the asking price new. But this is a jack.
