Jack Pads/Adapters - Which one and Where to Buy?

I'm annoyed that I can't use my hydraulic jack with my E63 as is. It looks like I need jack pads similar to this:

However, I don't want to buy from some random person on eBay and get one that doesn't fit properly.
Does anyone have one that they know fits and is sold from a reputable seller?

Thanks!

Have you looked at Reverselogic’s offering? I bought a set of their round pad adapters for my Black Series and they’re awesome. Kinda pricey, but very good quality and have come in handy many times so far.

I had not heard of them until your post. You're right on both accounts: they are pricey, but also look very high quality. I especially like the fact that they have an extended version for AMGs (I guess additional depth is needed).

Any one else have other suggestions that look as good, but perhaps aren't $35?

Of course, having seen Reverselogic's custom offerings for the different MB platforms, it looks like the "one-size-fits-all" offerings on Amazon may not be the best choice!

I bought this one from amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Single-Universal-Mercedes-Square-Adapter/dp/B01871S0AU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1509476166&sr=8-1&keywords=mercedes+jack+pad https://www.amazon.com/Single-Universal-Mercedes-Square-Adapter/dp/B01871S0AU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1509476166&sr=8-1&keywords=mercedes+jack+pad

I can confirm that it works

edit: to be clear, I have no idea if there are other higher quality options or if someone makes rubber that has even more rubbery-ness? It fits in the slot and won't collapse...good nuff for me.

I’ll vouch for the quality of the Reverselogic products. I have a set of the jack pad and lug bolt guides for each of my cars and they really make the wheel swaps easier for those of us who don’t have lifts in our garages. The little features like the spring loaded contacts that hold the pad in place are very handy.

Big fan of the jackpoint jackstands. And I just ordered a set of pads with the spacer for AMG vehicles from reverse logic. Fred at reverse logic was great to deal with. He helped get me exactly what I needed.

Thanks to this thread, I ordered the reverselogic jack stand adapters.
Once they arrive, I'm going to visit a local auto store/SEARS and see which jack stands offer the most surface contact to the adapters.

The 'block pads' for the jackpoint jack stands work on my S212 wagon, no interference with the side skirts:

I'm frugal (cheapskate) I guess. I ordered a half dozen used hockey pucks off ebay and cut to fit.
i also use for other project/hobby needs (non-marring, cushions, vice clamping, etc) I paid $2 each
