Rubber inserts/blocks for car jacks?

[Darren S]

Chaps,

Are there any mainstream rubber inserts or pads for car jacks? I've noticed the more heavy duty jacks come with like stippled rubber pads to go against the jacking points. Is there anything similar out there for standard jacks?

I'm aware of the potential slipping off issue I don't know why all car jacks don't have these bits of in-built protection against cill/jacking point damage?

Cheers,
D.

Im also looking for a rubber supplier... at the moment I cut up hard rubber floor mats into inserts for the jack, does the job...

Hockey pucks can be used, a guy on detailing world was selling them with cut-outs to fit the standard factory points on most cars at one point.

I've used one on the rare occasions I've jacked the car up, not with cut-outs though. Seem to work well enough!

I use ice hockey pucks. They work fine.

Got some rubber jack pads from a local DIY-store, work great. Were around 2 pounds a piece.

I machined the back of a hockey puck so that it fit on to the saddle of my jack.

Works brilliantly!

Even better! I'll look into these if the puck idea is only so-so.
