Default Lift Pucks

I asked this in another thread but did not get a response, looks like it got lost in all the other replies.


The common set of four pucks, do those just slip into place and stay put or do you put them in place, line up the lift then move to the next one and take them out when your done?

Both, most twist in a quarter turn and are removed after use. The BMW style snap in and stay with the car at all times (hopefully). I have the one made from hockey pucks that came with a nice carrying bag, problem is they are sitting on the table next to me. I keep forgetting to put them in the trunk!

I have the BMW style pucks (don't remember the part #) and they have been in for 2 years. I have lifted the car by them, and a local tire place lifted it by them, no problems.

I've had the snap in BMW pucks in my car for over a year now. I never remove them. I never forget to take them with me.
