    Thank you I greatly apprev the feedback, totally surprised it held that far also. With the single hole it’s hardet to gauge the strength of the magnets and depth.

    I’m looking to buy something like these to give to my local tire shop to do work on my car. Will these work with a shop lift?

    Yes they will. Many tire shops use them.

    Just released this model.
    Found that with the 18’s if there is a flat tire involved sometimes there’s is a issue with height so I designed and field tested a lower profile jack pad.
    We have used these for both flat tire service and tire rotations(2 per side) and found they work well.
    Any order of 4 of the model 3 regular red jack pads that hasn’t shipped yet and going forward will have one of the new emergency pads included or they can be ordered separately.

    The rectangle is better for rotations as there is more surface to distribute the weight being lifted.

    Better to order 2 to do rotation? And place both on 1 side and use 2 lifts to lift?

    Best to have 2 and do one side at a time as front to back is recommended, really no reason to lift both sides at once for a rotation, but yes two floor jacks and jack pads is the safest, there's always that one guy that beats his chest and says he just lifts one corner and lifts front and back but that isn't really the safest way and for what?

    I use a 2.5ton and a 1.5 ton floor jack for rotations from harbor freight. Their low profile aluminum floor jacks take abuse, all my service vans use these and if they can take the abuse we put them under and have a fair warranty they are worth the cost.
