jack and jack stand recommendations?

Looking to pick up a good jack and jack stand set that won't break the bank. Any recommendations? I want to get started in doing my own maintenance work on my vehicle. Thanks.

You seem to always be helping me out now. Yoshi did a good job with my vehicle. Flushed my brake lines and added dot 4 for me woooo. I actually was reading reviews on it and saw that the Sears set was garbage. i found a posting on craigslist for a team mechanix 2 ton jack with 2 ton jack stands for $20 in the box. Any word on these?

harbor frieght looks quality. i have been trying to find so much information on jacks. i think i'll have to hit the escondido one up and grab the aluminum race jack.

He had the Toyota 2000GT's out in the little waiting room area. I didn't see anything else but those cars were nice. I wouldn't mind driving one
