You're looking to avoid a floor jack and there aren't many options. While a scissor jack isn't quite as stable as a jack stand, its arguably more stable than relying on a hydraulic floor jack. Again, not MY first choice, but an option if you don't want/can't use a floor jack/jack stand combo. I use ETA Manufacturing jack stands which need a floor jack...

I've been watching the long reach HF jack for a while now and it's finally on sale for $199 ($40 savings). If you are considering one, I'd get it while you can.

Let me clarify. If you put a gun to my head I’d much rather be working on or underneath a vehicle that’s on a sole scissor jack versus a sole hydraulic jack. This is due to the possibility of a hydraulic floor jack losing its seal and dropping the car by a number of different means. The scissor jack is not going to unscrew itself in any situation. Having said that, I personally wouldn’t use a sole scissor jack or a floor jack to hold my vehicle in place while I’m working on it. No matter what I’m doing I’ll jack it up and place it on the jack stand. I’m too old to get crushed by a car! I’ll leave that for the young kids!! Lol
