The jack in the car barely qualifies as a jack. You have to stick that little tool in that little hole and lift a nearly 3K pound car with something that looks like the crank on an old ice cream maker. The contact point is miniscule, almost dangerous looking if you're changing the tire in the dead of winter with 40mph winds. Which is exactly when I first had to use the jack after blowing out a rear.. I'd only used race jacks (dime a dozen on Ebay) for autocross events in the past wish I had one those that night. You should have a proper jack and maybe Bosch impact gun for the lugs. But I keep a big lug wrench in the car too.
