Rybo 3 tonne scissor jack kit – portable roadside jack
This is one of those sensible bits to keep in the boot. It’s not flashy, but it does exactly what you need when a tyre decides to puncture at the most inconvenient moment. The scissor jack is low-profile enough to fit under low sills, and the kit comes with a wheel brace and a crank, so you won’t be faffing about with bits that don’t fit.
Key features
Everything essential is covered. The jack offers a 3 tonne capacity suitable for most everyday cars and many light vans. The hardened steel frame and a wide base give better stability on firm, level ground, while the integrated crank with ratchet action makes lifting and lowering straightforward. Everything packs neatly into a small carry case for tidy storage in the boot.
- 3 tonne lifting capacity – suitable for most everyday cars.
- Scissor jack design for compact storage and easy positioning in low spaces.
- Wheel brace (lug wrench) and crank/ratchet handle included, so no extra tools needed for a wheel change.
- Hardened steel construction and wide base for safer, steadier lifting on flat surfaces.
- Supplied in a carry case for neat storage and easy transport.
Technical details and practical notes
Package dimensions are roughly 48 x 11 x 11 cm and the whole kit weighs about 4 kg, so it won’t take up much room or add much weight to the car. Manufacturer reference / part number: SJxWB. A few sensible reminders: always use the jack on a level, firm surface; apply the handbrake and use wheel chocks; and never get under the vehicle while it’s supported only by the scissor jack — use axle stands if you need to work underneath.
Typical uses and why it helps
Perfect for changing a puncture at the roadside, swapping to winter tyres at home, or keeping as backup on longer trips. No more standing in the rain wondering if the spare will come out — this kit gives you the confidence to get the wheel off and the spare on without too much fuss. That’s a proper bonus on dark nights or in winter weather.
Regarding compatibility: the kit suits most cars, but if your vehicle is particularly heavy or uses non-standard jacking points, check the owner’s manual or opt for a higher-capacity jack. For most family cars, small estates and many compact vans, a 3 tonne scissor jack is a practical and economical choice.
