Product details
Autoxbert universal car jack pad – slotted rubber pinch-weld protector (5 in), black
Little but handy, this rubber jack pad takes the stress out of lifting. It sits on top of your floor jack or stand and protects pinch welds and paintwork, whether you’re changing a tyre, doing routine maintenance or just don’t want your chassis rails getting pinched and rusting later on.
What it is and why it matters
The slotted crosshair design lines up with the usual pinch-weld jacking points so the jack sits exactly where it should. The rubber’s firm enough to support the load yet soft enough to prevent metal-on-metal contact – that means no bent welds, no scraped paint and far less chance of rust starting in awkward spots.
Key features and advantages
- Protects pinch welds and painted chassis – avoids scraping, bending and long-term corrosion.
- Slotted, non-slip surface keeps the jack steady and reduces movement while lifting.
- Durable heavy-duty rubber provides cushioning and crush resistance under load.
- Compact 5.0 in (12.7 cm) diameter and 2.5 cm (1 in) thickness fits most jacks and suits many vehicles.
- 4 tonne load capacity gives reliable support for everyday car maintenance tasks.

Use cases and tips
Perfect for DIYers, motorists who keep a jack in the boot and small workshops that don’t always use protective pads. Pop it on your floor jack before lifting at the pinch-weld, or stash it in the car for emergency tyre changes. It’s particularly useful if previous garages have been a bit rough with your rails – no more faffing about with bent welds.
Practical notes
New rubber can have a noticeable smell; that’s normal. Give the pad a day or two in the fresh air and it will fade. Always check the pad fits your jack and the vehicle jacking point before use, and follow the usual safety precautions when working under a raised vehicle – use stands and wheel chocks where appropriate.
If you’re in any doubt about fitment, best to double-check: this pad is designed to be universal, but some specialist jacks or vehicles might need a different shape. For most cars and light commercial vehicles, though, it does a tidy, protective job.
Package contains one Autoxbert jack rubber pad. Simple, effective and small enough to keep in the boot.
