These jack pads look very nice, are clearly well made, have a good feel in your hands and attach readily to the pinch weld jacking points on my 2013 Ford Focus ST thanks to the clever magnets.
Unfortunately, I assumed that they would actually fit the full depth of my pinch welds and cradle it just like the OEM scissor jack that comes with the car does, but they do not. The full length of the pinch welds and the depth of the OEM scissor jack (interior side) is identical at 0.92" (see pic). The depth of these are about 0.5" (I meaured them but don't recall exact depth). As soon as they are placed on the pinch welds they teeter about easily and this makes me nervous. I did not even attempt to jack up the car with them because of this.
I wrongly assumed that these would fit securely on the pinch welds and the undercarriage of the car as the OEM jack does. I honestly see no advantage to using these instead of just using the floor jack alone. My jack has a flat pad and a contact area of 3.5" with the pinch welds and it will not teeter. Although it also makes contact with the OEM plastic side skirts because they are almost level with the pinch welds, I've jacked the car multiple times without causing any harm to them. I'm still confused as to the actual function of these pads on a Focus ST. If you are looking for a stable jack pad that cradles and supports the pinch weld like the OEM jack does, then this is not it.
