Chaosmagnet, the only other thing I might mention is a long cheater bar. The last time I got the call I was near home and decided to stop by and grab the aluminum floor jack. The floor jack made jacking the car easy, pulling the handle off to use as a cheater bar was priceless. I was using enough force I wasn't sure what was going to give up first, my half inch ratchet, the stud, or the lug nut. Fortunately, it was the lug nut.

I've given up on scissor jacks for cars, last time I used one it collapsed and I dropped a Benz. That was entertaining, always happens when you have an audience. It really wasn't the jacks fault, the car had an electronic parking brake that was less than stellar. No one was harmed and I didn't hurt the car. Lesson learned, I carry a set of wheel chocks too.
