Overpriced?
Looks like a solidly designed product.
I like the spring loaded detents that hold it in place.
Looks especially useful for those with AMG side skirts,
which is anyone with 2005 and over cars.
I wouldn't have to tools to make something like this.
35 bucks seems reasonable.
I've paid more than that for parts that probably cost benz 5 bucks.

I got mine for around $24.00 from the same guy. He is near me. I use it on my W204, and wouldn't think of jacking the car up without it. It is definitely underpriced. It snaps into the rubber jack points and stays there allowing you position the jack under it.

you know i have bought 2 of them, I can't believe that someone would not get these for the mere price alone--- all jacks will tear up the bottom of your car and you will have to replace the lift points eventually---i think they are way underpriced for someone's ingenuity--- he should market them to Indie shops nationwide!

the jack with the flat jack point works just fine. I've never had problem with damaging the rubber pads or sideskirts. great product tho if you are using a traditional jack.

Where is the jack stand placed when lifting from the jack point?
When lifting from the central points, the jack points are unobstructed, permitting usage of a jack stand.
