One thing about scissor jacks, do not use your impact gun and a socket to lower them. The twisting action of the gun will flip the jack over on to the ground and the car will come down at gravity's speed. And if you've ever seen a car drop off a jack unexpectedly, it comes down way faster than a ball drops out of your hand. It's a specific exclusion to the rule of physics and it's designed to kill and maim you. I don't like scissor jacks except as a safety backup to your jack stands and floor jack.

I would never use a scissor jack to raise any part of a car off the ground unless it was an emergency. I would only use it here to give me some fender clearance to feel the tire. These are the two items I put in my bag for tire repair and they are based on multiple reviews. I used the plug kit on my Infiniti a year ago to fix a hole made by a screw and have had no issues with it. The liquid will seal up to a 1/8 inch hole.
