Default Katech Pucks.

I just wanted to let my fellow forum members know about these VERY high quality pucks. I took a picture of one of them. These things just scream quality. As always Katech delivers!

They look good, but I've never found the need for jacking pucks.

Actually, neither have I, but I succumbed to the pressure and made two sets, one for each car. Never used them yet, but someday maybe......or not.

Being Canadian, you can hang your hockey pucks on your Christmas tree.

When I first bought my Vette there was a DIY thread about Jacking pucks and a lot of hype about why everyone absolutely needed them.

Well I made a set from hockey pucks & eye bolts, however I have yet to need these silly things. But just in case those pucks lie there, year after year waiting for that rare event when I just might need them

I have used mine a few times, mainly when getting a new set of tires.

I've had repairs done and tire changes, no pucks used. I tell the facility that the rocker panels are not cracked now and that I will check them when they are done. I leave the pucks on the seat and they are never used.

I use my pucks all the time... so often that I lost one after I forgot to take them off last spring. Three stayed put and one went bye-bye.

I use the metal ones as the fit in my jack stands better. Now I have to find one puck in matching size... not very easy since they sell in fours. Maybe I'll lose my other three...

I can just imagine someone going down the road dropping their pucks all over the place. Now that's a funny story!!............

Like Racer, I made mine from a set of practice pucks my dear mother had salted away along with the remains of my old hockey stick. And yes, I did get some inquiring glances from the s/o when I hung them on the Christmas tree one year.

Not if the T pin goes into a tire.

Hockey pucks are too hard to find around here. I thought about making mine out of some kind of hard plastic. Maybe composite decking? Has anyone ever made any out of something besides a real hockey puck? What did you use?

On the website is says "includes Z06/ZR1". Is there a different size for the Z? Or are these just a universal fit? I bought some pucks off of ebay claiming to fit the Z06/ZR1 and ended having too much space between the top of the puck and the frame of the car.
