I'd have thought the only jack you could collapse low enough to get under the chassis (apart from a trolley jack) would be a scissor jack as
supplied with your common or garden tin top.
Don't most people just carry a can of puncture sealant (saves having a heavy spare wheel on the back) and a breakdown membership card for
emergencies?

This has to be a p iss take... Your ride height must be wrong if you can get this anywhere near under the car...

I can't get my trolley jack under the car with the four tyres fully inflated. I need to lever it up with the jack handle to get the jack under.
Perish the thought if I picked up a puncture.

not really car is light enough to lift and slide jack under front x member and like wise at rear under diff-these jacks dont leave you with bare bone
knuckles-but if your car is to heavy.............?
