Go to the junk yard. They probably have a million of 'em. | ||

Newfie, you should know better. If it's a quality scissor jack you need, look no further than the Sabb 99 / 900 type from the 70's through to 1994 models. Nothing in a Japanese cars tool kit comes close. Saab's jack is tough and doesn't wobble when extended. It also has the benefit of having a nice flat saddle about the size of a cig packet.

The 240 and 740 Volvos also have scissor jacks. Must be a Swedish thing. | ||
