Review on πŸš— Enhance Vehicle Safety with ABN 5-Β½in Large Jack Pad Universal Fit Cross Slotted Frame Rail Protector by Robert Byrd

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works with car lifts, hoists and jacks

Good: does the job. Mitigates the amazingly stupid practice by car companies (well, Ford anyway) of running a brittle weld right down the center of the car's jack points. This pad transfers the weight of the car to the jack location rather than lifting (and likely crushing) the weld as 99.9% of jacks and stands go without pads. okay port freight) 3 ton jack. It works well enough, but at least one other commenter reported that his block tipped over and the car was thrown off the jack. Mine didn't even threaten to do it, but I understand how that could have happened. When lifting, ensure that the jack is free to move on its wheels so that there is no shearing force on the pad and be aware of the possibility of the pad slipping or twisting. And use the jack! Also, accurate bushing alignment is required to ensure the weld fits into this groove on the pad. I had to crawl under it and get close to see it while my friend fiddled with the jack handle. Note that this is for reference only; It's not really the pad's fault. Verdict: This pad is a bit fiddly to use, but it gets the job done and that's what counts. Five stars.
