Scissor Jacks are compact mechanical lifting devices designed for raising vehicles to perform tyre changes, inspections, or light maintenance. They operate using a simple screw mechanism that expands the jack’s arms in a scissor-like motion, lifting the vehicle safely and steadily. Their lightweight and portable design makes them a common inclusion in car tool kits.
