The best deal is to go to your local Dick's Sporting goods and get some hockey pucks. Work pretty good for me.

Katech has some pretty slick aluminum (i think) pucks and they are forum vendors. Give Jason a call.

I think I got mine from elite eng. they come in red or blue aluminum and they make them thicker than most to accomadate the depth of the cup on different jacks, use blue "painters tape on the car where the puck is that way you won't forget them like I/we did!

Make you own set!!

Make your own from real hockey pucks and some eyebolts. I ended up making 2 sets and I keep 1 set in the car in the rear storage bin for emergency use. Check these earlier posts:

Old thread but I found it on a search for jacking pucks. The BMW pucks at my local dealer are $18.72 (round) or $20.65 (square) EACH!

too. It's a no brainer. It takes 5 minutes to make them and they work perfect. You put the eye in the slot and turn and the stay put while jacking.

Spend the $$ on something actually shows.

Which 5 minutes are you talking about? The phone calls to find a store that sells hockey pucks (and other stores to compare prices) or the time to drive to the store and purchase the pucks. Then the drive to the hardware store for the eye bolts (5/16", 1/4'?). What length? Just buy them long and cut them off? Nuts? Threaded inserts? Locktite? Adhesive? Then the time to drill the pucks, insert the eyebolts, adjust to the correct length and install and seal the threaded inserts.

More like at least 4 hours. Ebay has them already assembled for $13.95 + shipping. I'd rather spend $22 than waste hours of my time chasing and fabricating parts.
