I have a European car with jacking points in the rocker panels. Rather than use the emergency jack that came with the car, when I do repairs I use a scissor jack and a grade 8 bolt. There's also a jacking pad but I prefer to use that for a jack stand for safety. See the photo.
I was considering a ratchet handle for my existing scissor jack because the crank handle is a pain to use. I bought this jack instead because of the cross foot, and it really makes this jack superior to the others. The swivel head is also better than the fixed plate on my existing jack. The ratchet handle makes raising the car a breeze compared to the crank on most scissor jacks. If you need a scissor jack, get this one.
