Default Jacking pucks

Of you out there who've bought jacking pucks, how many did you buy ? I'm looking at jacking pucks from www.katechengines.com under tools, and they look like they do the job great, but how many can be used ?

Start with 12. 4 for the shop lift, 4 to carry around in the convertible, 2 to go in the track box for the Z, 1 to lose driving around the neighborhood after an oil change, and 1 for my buddy to lose at Infineon after a quick rotor change.

Most people get a set of 4 though.

I made my own out of hockey pucks. I keep a set that has double pucks (twice as thick) hanging in the garage. I keep another set of single puck homades in a bag , kept in the trunk.

You don't really need them if you're careful when you jack.

I bought a set of 4, the blue anodized ones from someone on here. I do jack my car regularly and haven't touched 2 of the four. I usually only need one but, If I were doing it over again, I'd buy just 2 of the Katech ones, they look very nice!
