Floor jack VS bottle jack for tire change
I had a blowout this week and called AAA. The guy rolls up with a small floor jack and a Snap-On battery powered impact wrench and went to work!
I want to carry a jack other than the OE jack. Would a bottle jack do the job, or do I need a small floor jack? Thanks all.

a floor jack is exactly that. Something that can be rolled around in a shop. For driving purposes, get a bottle jack. I saw in a mag one time, they welded a curved piece to it to better match the round axle

I love having a floor jack at home. It is the way to go.
For on the road though, no way. I'd use the OEM jack, a bottle jack, or a high-lift, in that order. |

i pulled over on the freeway the other day for a libby that was pulled over, the womans tire blew out, i just busted out my factory bottle jack, and i didnt even have a thought that the botle jack wouldnt be up to the task.... the stock jack is fine.
however.... if you can, a floor jack is better, but i dont feel like carrying one everywhere i go.

The OEM jack works fine.
