Woppum had one of the smaller Costco ones two years ago and it lasted 2 trackdays

The seals tend to blow if you leave the car raised for too long and nuts and bolts come loose iirc

I've always worked on the basis you get what you pay for in life, but even my local independent use these £100 quid jacks (and had less issues with them) compared to the 400 quid variety they've previously used.
