True that it might secure with those tools. But I think jack is a necessary tool for every garage owning a car. It helps for minor tasks like oiling the car or changing the brake pad. It is really a handy tool. There is a unique jack which is Pittsburgh 3 Ton Floor Jack and it can help in doing the heavy work load. There are other types of jack as well.
