Bottle jack pad adapter – rubber 29mm recess for 5–8 tonne jacks
This little rubber jack pad is one of those handy bits of kit that makes life easier. It slips over your bottle jack saddle to give a soft, grippy contact with the car’s jacking point. That means less metal-on-metal, fewer dents and paint marks, and a much lower chance of the vehicle slipping off if the surface isn’t perfect.
What it is and why it helps
The pad has a 29mm recess underneath (about 1 1/8 inches), so it sits neatly over most bottle jack pins and saddles. Made from anti-slip black rubber, it cushions the contact between jack and vehicle, spreads the load a touch more evenly and adds grip. That’s a proper bonus in wet or greasy conditions — lifting becomes noticeably steadier and less stressful.
Practical uses and typical situations
- Changing a tyre on the driveway or the hard shoulder, without worrying about chipped paint or damaged jacking cups.
- Everyday garage jobs where jacking points can take a beating over time.
- Workshops and hobbyists who want a simple, reliable buffer for 5–8 tonne bottle jacks.
It’s compact, so it won’t eat into boot or toolbox space, and it’s light enough to keep with your emergency kit. Always use the jack on a flat, level surface and follow the jack manufacturer’s safety instructions. This pad helps reduce damage and slip, but it’s not a substitute for proper supports such as axle stands if you’re working under the car.

Wondering if it’ll fit your jack? It fits most standard bottle jacks, but it’s sensible to check your saddle size first. If the jack has an unusually large or non-standard saddle it might not seat perfectly. Otherwise, it’s a straightforward, affordable accessory that removes a fair bit of the faff when lifting vehicles safely.
