10 ton Harbor Freight for me. Jack is fine but I have made mistakes and put pressure on the frame, and it bends.

Ten ton is plenty for regular auto needs but I wish I had sprung for the 20 ton HF as there is a larger platform to work with. I am always trying to get this shim or that to have a hub/knuckle sit perpendicular to the ram. The wimpy frame makes it that much harder.

That said if OP's used 10 ton has a beefy frame, go for it.
