Default Hydraulic Bottle Jacks Suck

Anybody find a "GOOD" bottle jack that is compatible with Avery Tools RV Jack? I've bought 2 and they are both garbage. Too small throw and unreliable. Not interested in the $9.99 local tool store brand. I want the long neck $500 aluminum powdercoated polished reliable model that comes in a satin bag.

Anybody?

Default Three bad ones myself

They just don't make 'em like they used to!

My 90 year old father's bottle jack he's had since the '60s is still great!
My three bought in last ten years are all leaky junk.
