I made one out of a hockey puck. I wanted something fairly soft so thats why i used a puck.

I have the one from ECS and it works well. Not $50.00 though. Maybe you are thinking about with shipping but still not $50.00.

you can make one yourself really easy. You just cut a small piece of plywood (size it so that it fits into the square jack adapor), and bolt the square piece to a hockey puck.

+1
$0.99 from Canadian Tire. Press a piece of cardboard against the black plastic rectangle and cut out the resulting shape. Trace that out onto the puck and use a hack saw to cut the shape. Cut on the inside of the line.

Takes 15 minutes.

No, its 1 puck. I just cut a square out on the top half so it sits inside the jack mount.

antrot · 11-23-2010, 10:32 AM

ohh yes i see it now...does the square part when inserted actually make contact with the inside of the jack guide or is it just more there to secure in place rather then help in lifting?
which tool used to cut puck..??
thanks for all the help so far
