| Apr 4 at 19:59 | comment | added | Sam7919 | @WeatherVane I have the impression that the bottom side is just wide enough for a jack stand (as it is labeled), but not wide enough for a vehicle jack, but if you're sure that it will fit or you have first-hand experience with using it, please move your comment to be an answer. | |

| Apr 4 at 18:53 | comment | added | Sam7919 | Yes, I figured that the left one is meant for jack stands. I don't understand how you would use the one on the left as scissor jack to pinch weld adapter. | |
| Apr 4 at 18:51 | comment | added | Sam7919 | @WeatherVane A sheet of rubber cut from the inner tube of a bicycle tire might be constitute minimal protection, but I'm hoping there is a slightly more sizeable solution. | |

I've always use a bit of wood, or a folded rag, to protect the cill. | |
