SWETRACE Jack Rubber Pad Enhanced Stability 4Pcs

A square pad, 12 by 12 centimetres and 25 millimetres thick, in black rubber, sitting on the saddle of a trolley jack, which is where SWETRACE's own names for it put it. Four come in a pack, one for each corner if you work your way round. It is the sort of thing you go looking for at the back of the boot in poor light, and the sort of thing you notice the absence of the moment a bare saddle bites into a sill.

Slotted, with the slot left unmeasured

SWETRACE uses the word slotted four separate times across this description and never once gives the slot a width or a depth. A pinch weld is a thin folded seam, and whether it will sit down into the groove properly is entirely a question of that dimension. All you get instead is the outside of the pad, 12 by 12 by 2.5 centimetres, which tells you whether it will perch on your saddle but nothing about whether it will grip your seam.

Nothing on this page is rated to hold anything

There is no capacity figure here, no tonnage, no rubber hardness and no working temperature. What the description does carry is the assertion that the anti-slip face prevents accidents and ensures safety during lifting. That is a very large promise for a component with no number attached to it anywhere, and the honest position is that you are buying an unrated piece of rubber that goes between a jack and the mass of a car.

Key features

• Rubber between saddle and car: SWETRACE names it a floor jack adapter and a pinch weld jack adapter and never says what the rubber is there to spare, so read the placement off those names and not off a stated claim.
• Set of four: the pack line reads four jack pads, enough for a full circuit of the car.
• Anti-slip face: the grip is described as secure, which is the basis of the supplier's safety claim.
• Pad footprint: a 12 centimetre square, 2.5 centimetres deep.
• Cleans and swaps: described as easy to replace and to clean, which rubber that lives under a car will need.
• Jacks named in general terms: the source says different automotive lift machines and stops there.

Where this page runs out of answers

• No lifting capacity is published for these pads, in tonnes or in any other unit, and no rubber hardness is given either. A part that sits in the load path of a jack ought to carry a rating and this one does not.
• Not one warning accompanies these pads. Nothing is said about supporting the vehicle once it is up, nothing about where on a sill the pad should sit, and nothing about checking it before you put weight through it. No such note has been written in here to cover the gap.
• The slot is never dimensioned, despite slotted being the word the listing leans on hardest. Measure your own pinch weld and understand that you are ordering without knowing whether it will seat.
• No jack is named. Not a brand, not a model and not a saddle diameter, only the phrase different automotive lift machines. The word universal turns up once, buried in a keyword string rather than made as a claim, and it is not treated as one here.
• One sentence in the description says the pad can be applied to your motorcycle. Every other line on the listing, and the title above it, describes a car floor jack accessory. That single motorcycle reference stands alone and unsupported, and nothing has been built on it here.
• Two separate kinds of corruption sit in this description. Keyword strings have been pushed into the middle of the opening sentence, taking the spaces at the joins with them and fusing words together; and one sentence, which appears twice in the body, has lost its verb both times, so it reads as though the pad does nothing to the performance it is supposed to improve. Neither the fused words nor the broken sentence is quoted here.
• The unit columns agree on this one. Twelve centimetres is 4.72 inches and 2.50 centimetres is 0.98 inches, both as printed.

Judged simply as rubber that keeps a saddle off your sills, it is a sensible thing to own; judged on the safety language wrapped around it, there is no number anywhere to test that language against.
