Default finding a hydraulic Porta-power kit

I'm looking for one of these: Amazon.com: 10 Ton Porta Power: Home Improvement and was wondering if any of the big box stores or national autoparts franchises carry them. Anyone ever seen one locally?

Local CarQuest Auto Parts had a monthly flier featuring a 10 ton portapower... I bought one and have used it a few times... I would buy it again because it was darn handy when I needed it.

Got mine at Harbor Freight on sale with a 20% off coupon to boot. Works great, many uses you'll think of after getting one. Get a pullback ram for it too, very handy.
