Input on what trunk jack to get for MME

[MyLittlePony2022]

I was thinking about getting scissor jack to put in my MME. just in case I need to lift the car and try to fix a punctured tire. I have a quality tire repair kit to fix tread punctures. If I am around town, I am calling AAA to help. I was thinking about a punctured tire in the middle of now where or when the nearest tow truck is hours away. Jack the car up, fix the puncture, fill it with air and away we go.

Anyone know of or have a quality scissor lift? I was taught to buy quality and buy it once. I want a jack that will work when I need it, even if that is years of it sitting in my trunk. Would love input on a good quality made scissor lift. What tonnage do I need? I am only picking up a corner so I know it does not need to be rated for the full weight of the car. 2 ton?

Here's what I'm going to use. Came as part of a kit with the spare wheel and tire but you can get the jack by itself.

Oh, this looks like a great scissor jack. It is lightweight, high lift, heavy duty and cost is reasonable. Thanks @P. T. Magoo

Have you guys tried using this yet? Just curious if you like it and if it's enough for job

Not yet, but I do have it in my trunk of the cargo area. I hope to not ever use it. However, I have it just in case I am somewhere that AAA is hours away and I will have to try to fix the tire with my tire repair kit, if it is fixable.

Could you take a picture and post it here to show how it fits in the cargo area? Like under the floor or it's just hanging out in the back area? Tempted to get one too.

If you're going to use a jack, make sure you have jack pads so you don't tear up your battery hardware, framing, etc.
