Best Jack pads ?

[dmurphy]

When I click the links the ones I posted were cheaper, but in any case only $2 one way or another

Yes, but the others had free shipping. Yes, only $2 one way or the other for the same thing though!

As for jacks — I picked this one up for $109. It’s well built, solid, and fits just great under Model 3. Probably made in the same factory as the Harbor Freight one!

Just wanted to update. I bought the pads in post #4, delivered in 3 days. They are super high quality and a great price. They fit the holes in the bottom on my 3 perfectly and stay in place. These guys did a great job.

Agreed - I also had them "laser engraved" locally; just to set them apart from everyone else's!

Has anyone tried these by Traverse Ridge? They are a 4 pack for $30:

I have those. The build quality appears to be good, although I haven't used them yet. I did try fitting them in the lift point and they're a nice, snug fit, such that I can insert them first, then raise the jack without worrying about them falling out.

Good to know. I ordered the same thing. They were described on the website as tight fitting but I didn't see any o-rings on them like the shiney blue ones.
Can someone have too many jack pads?

Never! I have five, total (as of this writing)…

My one lone pad, waiting for his four shine nippled brothers to come home.

Honesty, do yourselves a favor and spend as little as you can on jack pads. I bought 4 street rays (SR billet aluminum) for $29 dollars shipped on eBay and they work fine. I looked at some of the other options which looked a little nicer or came with a carrying case but they're just jack pads. You use them and then put them away until the next time you jack up the car. Money is better spent elsewhere IMO.

Yep, I spent $34 for the one's shown in post #4.

but they're just jack pads

< This!

I got the basic ReverseLogic ones, and they're perfect. I have a difficult time understanding why they would be conversation pieces.

I mean... the jack that goes under them is ugly... and it's not like they stay on the car (just in the frunk), so I don't get it.

I am, however, a sucker for billet aluminum So I might get one of those for a paperweight at work

Well, could it be that yours don't have "shiny nipples" or "polished knobs"?!

Maybe because it gives us a chance to talk about polished knobs and shiney nipples!
Again.... I thought I was done with this!!!
And he pulls me back in.
This thread has kept me entertained for about a week. My wife thinks I've lost my mind, laughing like a school kid.

These look really cool - Conversation piece(s)!

I ordered a single one from Amazon (for at home work), forgetting that I might need a set for tire shops when traveling, so the Amazon one will stay in the garage, and this USA Made set in the truck! Note, there is a $5 off coupon, so $34.99 OTD.

Update/Review:

I received my Jack Plugs yesterday from the US-based manufacture who's link was provided in Post #4 (above). I must say, "These things are a work of art and DEFINATELY worth the $34.99 paid! Not only for the "conversation piece" aspect they bring to the table, but just based on pure quality of materials used and high quality manufacturing processes. These feel "custom-made," rather than some mass produced alternative (picture attached is one of the actual plugs in my kit). Just wanted you all to know as an aid to your decision making.

Couldn’t agree more. Much better than hockey pucks with rubber door stoppers screwed into them.

Wow, things have really quieted down on Jack Pads of late. Still loving mine!

I just ordered these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QR19NM9

Not here, yet, but they're essentially the DIY hockey puck style. They should do the job. They are pretty cheap at $30 (yes I know I could have made them cheaper).

For $34.99, why didn't you order the high quality machined ones shown in post #54?

Because I didn't see this thread until after I ordered
