Hi Paul, you probably won't find anything that looks "well made", most workshop equipment these days is mass produced crap but it's all there is!
You probably can buy "proper" equipment from some where but it will cost mega bucks. I have a 30 tonne model which is a bit over the top but I like you thought they looked shite so I bought the sturdiest one I could afford! Another option is to try and pick one up from engineering equipment auctioneers but you have to be in the right place at the right time to pick up a bargain.
Cheers,
John.

PS Ebay?
