Trolley Jack - WHY Got?

[mcandmar]

I was just going to say that, jacks are for getting the car onto axle stands only, never ever get under a car on a jack. Its also good practice to slide the wheels under the car if i take them off, it will only fall on you once.

Agreed, axle stand are a separate thread though.

I think fellas on Detailing World use a hockey puck, as rubber interface between the jack and the sill.

I seem to recall someone was shaping them and selling them to other forum members.

Cutting a slot in them for the pinch weld?

You can get slotted rubber jack pads for pinch welds on ebay for about £5, available with different depth slots for different cars, or raised rectangle for BMWs.

Another vote for "SGS".

£50 ish quid for a 1.5 jack and a pair of 2ton stands.

No complaints.

An old OEM topmount works well
