Autoxbert 20mm bottle jack pad – anti-slip polyethylene adapter
This little pad does a straightforward job, but it’s one of those bits of kit you’ll wonder how you got by without. It protects your car’s jacking points and gives a bottle jack a proper, non-slip surface to sit on. It’s made for most 2 tonne bottle jacks with a 20mm recess underneath, so if your jack’s standard, this will sit on it snugly.
What it does
Think of the pad as a buffer between metal and metal — no more bare steel-on-steel contact between the jack saddle and your chassis rails or pinch welds. That lowers the risk of bending, pinching or tearing when you lift. It also adds grip, so the car is less likely to shift on uneven or gritty ground — a handy bit of reassurance in winter or on a damp driveway.
Key features and benefits
- Durable polyethylene construction – built to take regular use without cracking or deforming.
- 20mm recess fit – designed to sit neatly over the saddle of most 2 tonne bottle jacks.
- Protects jacking points – helps avoid damage to chassis rails and pinch welds while lifting.
- Improves stability – adds traction to reduce slipping or tipping during a lift.
- Compact and easy to store – a lightweight, single-piece pad that slips into a boot or tool bag with no fuss.
How to use
Put the pad over the top of the bottle jack so the recess sits over the jack saddle, ensure the jack is on a flat, level surface, then lift as you normally would. The pad should stay put for the duration of the lift. Always use axle stands after lifting and stick to standard safety procedures — this pad helps, but it isn’t a substitute for safe lifting practice.
Technical and practical notes
Compatibility: suitable for most 2 tonne bottle jacks with a 20mm recess. Material: polyethylene for durability. Supplied: 1 x jack pad. Package dimensions are compact (approximately 24 × 14 × 2 cm) and the pad is lightweight, so it’s easy to keep in the boot.
If you’re wondering about colour or exact fit on unusual jacks — colour isn’t always specified, and it’s worth a quick measure of your jack saddle before you buy. If the saddle shape is markedly different, the pad might not sit perfectly, but for the vast majority of standard bottle jacks it’ll do the job brilliantly.
All in all, it’s a modest, affordable addition to any toolkit that saves time, hassle and the heartache of bent pinch welds. No more faffing about with makeshift padding — this gives a neat, secure contact point every time.
