Car jack kit with universal rubber jack pad – 3 tonne scissor jack for cars and SUVs
Being stuck with a puncture or missing a spare is never fun. The IMAYCC car jack kit makes the whole affair quicker and far less of a faff. It’s a 3 tonne (6612 lb) scissor jack made from high‑strength cold‑rolled alloy steel, with a wide base for added stability and two rubber pads to sit between the metal and your car to avoid scratches and scuffs.
What it does
The jack lifts from 13 cm (5.1″) up to 43 cm (16.8″), so it’ll reach under low‑slung saloons as well as higher SUVs and MPVs when you need it to. It’s ideal for emergency tyre changes, wresting stuck wheels off, or short underside jobs where you just need the car off the ground briefly.
What’s in the kit
- A compact but heavy‑duty 3T scissor car jack.
- Two rubber jack pads to protect paintwork and prevent metal‑on‑metal contact.
- A ratchet wrench plus a multi‑size lug wrench covering 17/19 mm and 21/23 mm nuts.
- A pair of gloves to keep your hands cleaner and give a better grip.
- A zip storage bag so everything stays neat and ready in the boot.
Why it’s useful
You don’t always need a bulky trolley jack at the roadside. This scissor jack is portable, straightforward and offers good mechanical advantage so you’re not straining away. That’s particularly handy in winter when fingers go numb and jobs take twice as long. It’s equally useful for DIY in the driveway — changing a tyre, checking the brakes or swapping on winter wheels.
How to use (quick tips)
- Park on level ground and apply the handbrake — safety first.
- Use the manufacturer’s jacking point on your vehicle — check the handbook if you’re unsure.
- Put the rubber pad between the jack head and the car to protect the sill or pinch weld.
- Raise the car slowly and only as high as you need; use axle stands if you’re working underneath for any length of time.
- Keep the kit in its bag in the boot so it’s ready when required.
Safety and compatibility
The kit suits most cars, SUVs and MPVs, but always check your vehicle’s jack rating and jacking points before use. A 3 tonne capacity will cover the majority of family cars and many larger vehicles, but it isn’t suitable for heavy commercial vans or full‑size pickups. The enlarged base and cold‑rolled steel construction improve stability, yet the jack should always be used on firm ground — gravel or soft surfaces need extra caution or a support board underneath.
If you’re wondering about wheel nuts, the lug wrench covers the common sizes 17/19 mm and 21/23 mm, and the ratchet gives you extra leverage when they’re stubborn. Gloves are included to keep hands cleaner and improve grip. If in doubt about whether this jack is right for your vehicle, have a quick check of the manual or ask a mechanic before lifting.
All told, this is a no‑nonsense emergency tyre‑changing kit that gives proper peace of mind on the road. Compact enough for the boot, robust enough to do the job — no more faffing about with fiddly tools when you’ve got a flat.
