i'm with FocalPoint on this one. the pinch welds take abuse. i don't use any sissy jack pad or anything. the cars been jacked up a million times no problem. just a waste of time/money/effort for "jack pads"

The OEM jack was designed to go around the weld and rest on the base, I'd say that's the safest option. Having said that, the weld holds the car together, so it's probably safe. I'd not rest on the weld just to spread the load over a larger area and prevent stress concentrations in a small surface.

The word "safe" should never be used in the same sentence as the stock jack from our cars. They're called the widow maker for a reason.
Yes you will die suddenly from using them.
No, I'm not kidding.

would i use it for regular work on my car? no, not really. but it does work and come in handy.

Whoah!!! I never said to use that thing, I just said that's where it lifts the car from. In other words, that attachment method was part of the car's design so it is structurally safe.

I knew what you meant; I was just messin'. Read the thread from the beginning and you'll see what I mean.
