This a very versatile tool and is very useful when raising a vehicle
Upon receiving the ZL1 Addons 1087 Pinch Weld Magnetic Jack Pads- Set of 4, I was highly impressed as to the design, namely the strength. These jack pads can be used with a (trolley jack): floor jack OR with a lift. This a very versatile tool and is very useful when raising a vehicle. My vehicle is a 2013 Dodge Challenger, as the 1087 pads fit nicely. Another added feature that is very welcome; is the magnetic aspect which holds the jack pad in place on the pinch, weld without any support.The 1087 Pinch Weld Magnetic Jack Pad sits on the pinch weld, below the rocker panel. There simply is not a better tool to keep in one's toolbox. More so, John (the innovater of ZL1 Addons) has been very courteous, professional, and has assisted me greatly with the technical specifications and characteristics of this product. We conversed via email sending photos and diagrams as well. ZL1 Addons stands behin all of their products, as their policy of exchange (or making amends) is unequaled by anyone; especially in the automotive area.As of today, I have not had the opportunity to place this item, or try this product, BUT we're certain it shall perform as advertised. When one sees a diamond, there is no need to question its value, it is inherent, "Like the ZL1 Addons'. We could not believe any providing OR posting negative comments regarding this product. Simply stated, there are not enough words to describe the usefulness of the 1087 jack pad. ZL1 provides many options for many vehicles and any can rest assured that one is purchasing a quality product that was designed for the 'car guys'. As American Express would say, "Don't leave home without it".Thank you very much John for the time you provided to me in acquiring this excellent product. We hope the best for ZL1 Addons now, and in the future. We also thank Amazon for being the supplier, 'A trusted source and retailer'.

Great looking, but does NOT securely fit the pinch weld on a 13-14 Focus ST!
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.

Groove depth to shallow for pinch weld.
Used these on my 2010 SRT8 Dodge Challenger 4 times so far. Noticed the groove isn't deep enough to fully seat the pinch weld. Made me nervouse using it but for the first couple times no issue. But when lowering it on the fourth use it rolled on the jack and snapped the side of the aluminum before my jack impacted the floor board and put a minor indent there while it was still lowering. Could have been worse so I'm going to have to try and find a set with a deeper groove so it seats better around the pinch weld. Be careful and always use a jack stand and pump slow.

Works as Advertised
I bought these to do some work on my 2013 Ford Focus ST, and they ended up working great! There's not many good places under this car to jack it up and the clearance between the rocker panels and pinch welds is quite narrow. I ended up jacking the car up by the front subframe and rear suspension cross brace and placing the jack stands on each of these pads at each corner.They held the car securely and didn't even leave a mark on the pinch welds when I pulled them off after I was done working on it. I collapsed the pinch welds on my previous car, so I was looking for a solution to solve that. This is it!My only recommendation is to jack up both sides of the car incrementally so that it doesn't lean heavily to one side, putting undo stress on the aluminum jack pad and pinch welds. This is the only situation where I could see the car slipping off a jack stand or incurring any damage.

Save your pinch welds!
I have the original Jack Pads you offered made of nylon and those have lifted (on two post hoist) at least seven different modern Challengers without a single problem. I have no reason not to suspect these will be just as good and, given the aluminum construction that these will be just as good/better. If I had any wish list it would be that the magnet on back of the first appeared on this new aluminum Jack Pad as we keep the first one on steel staircase utilizing that magnet. Not an option with this new aluminum Jack Pad given magnets are at bottom of channel to hold to pinch weld.

Works good
Did the job I needed them for. You have to use these on Dodge Challengers and Chargers when using a floor jack.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
Bought these for use with my 2010 challenger and they do not work. everytime the jack pad would flop on its side causing the car to drop off the jack , luckily I was not under the car and the wheels were not off yet when this happen. Also because it is metal on metal they tend to scatch up the area they are placed pretty bad. Biggest waste of money ever. Only use this product if you do not mind getting crushed by a car.

Too shallow for Mitsu and Subi
On both my '06 Evo 9 and my wifes '11 STI the pads were too shallow, they needed to be at least 3/8" deeper
