I've had this jack for 20+ years and worked perfect until today. The gears in the top had been wearing and it finally gave up. This is the one I carry in the car.
First; is this model still available ? Second; what do you recommend to replace it so that I may still use the jack holes Third; is there a better replcement that does not use the jack holes that I should look at. Attached image(s)

It's not OEM by any means but I keep a sissir's jack from a Honda Prelude in my front trunk, stored in a black canvas mechanics bag along with several other tools. It works great on the road and in the garage and I've yet to have any problems with it. I can also place it any where along the side of the car, but limited to the jacking holes.
If you're looking for an OEM jack for your car, I have a couple I would be willing to sell. Let me know and I'll send you a picture or two. |

Get one of those square or round plates and carry a scissors jack; hopefully you should only want to use the OEM jack for roadside emergencies, not reqular repairs |

The actual OEM jack that came with the car broke many years ago; the jack in the picture came from a VW Van and seemed more heacy duty. Sissors sounds doable; do you use them with the plate that has the jack-hole extension ?
Thanks- |
