Jack Pads - Something Easier to Use and Cheaper?

I keep losing these. How? I keep forgetting to take them down, or they are just misplaced in the garage... someplace.

So I think I am going to invent something similar but hopefully easier and quicker to use and half to 3/4 the price (ala disposable).

Do you guys own these? If so, how many sets do you own. If not, is the price preventing you from buying them? Or is money a "no object" when it comes to your beloved Porsche? Just doing a survey.

Thanks.

More specifically I like the weighted training pucks... not only because they are denser (a plus) but b/c they are orange allowing me to see them better under the car b/w my jack and lift point. I've never had one (std or training) experience yield failure even lifting a full-size SUV. Though I lose them constantly, at < $2 each I'd have to lose a couple dozen for just one set of fancy jack pads...

So you put the hocky puck between the jack and car? To not scratch the underside of the car? Sorry for the juvenile question.

So that you don't break the plastics around the jack point.

I used them to prevent having the jack gouge off the paint/anti-rust treatment around the jack point to reduce the potential for rusting.

I use cheap plastic ones from Ebay with the twist-lock that keeps it in place. I did forget to remove it once and drove around under the car for a couple of days before I remembered to remove it. The twist lock kept it in place though. Just search for "Porsche jack pad" and you'll find quite a few.
