Default transmission jacks

After fucking my elbow up trying to lift a t56 I think I'm gonna spring for a transmission jack..


I'm looking at these two, but any other ideas would be welcome..

Anyone care to wager which one would work best?

The first on is too big for cars. Its a big truck jack.

I have the second one and fucking LOVE it!!!!!! I feel your pain all to well. Went and bought one and love the hell outta it. Dropping a tranny is cake now. Just have to get the car high enough to roll it out. Its pretty tall with the tranny on the jack, but worth every penny!
