Just looking for one that is compatible with our jacking points. Modernspare has a kit but the scissor jack is only rated for 1.5 tons.

 

1.5 tons should be OK...you are only lifting part of the car...

MB OEM jack part number is B6685079128.

 

appreciate the quick response. That oem part appears to be sold out everywhere.

 

I would invest in a 4 ton bottle jack before I bought a scissor jack... Just as compact , but less difficult to use. Amazon has dozens to choose from.

Use a hockey puck for the jacking point if you think it necessary.

 

Instead of a bottle jack or scissor jack, I would get a floor jack (a/k/a trolley jack). I've used a floor jack for years on several different cars and I've been happy with it. You can get one for as little as $40. I have a ProLift floor jack that came with a case which is handy for storage.

 

I found this one on Amazon for $47:

 

appreciate the suggestion and research but i already have a floor jack in my garage. It’s so heavy! I just want something for emergency use after having a bad experience this weekend. I will already be compromising trunk space with a donut spare. I just want a light scissor jack i can mount to the inside of the spare and be done.

 

If someone wants a scissors jack, I presume it's for emergency use only. At home under controlled conditions, I would never use a scissors jack, but a floor jack. All of this has been clarified by OP.

For emergency use on the highway, I would still use a bottle jack over a scissors jack any day of the week. And they make some bottle jacks no larger than a scissors jack that would easily fit within the spare wheel.

In truth, you would want to make sure that a bottle jack was the largest possible (that fits from ground to jack point) but still fits stored within the spare wheel. JMO.

 

I bought a scissor jack for emergency purposes with oversized feet for added stability.

 

Appreciate everyone’s input. I decided to go with the modern spare kit after talking to the engineer who helped design the kit for the W213. Price is a bit high but seems to have a high quality tested product. Canceled my ez-spare and switched to modern spare as well. 32lb vs 51lb and higher speed rated tires made me switch to them.
