Firstly, they don't damage the sill, secondly, I would NEVER get under the car without a jack stand or wheel thrown under the car as a backup measure. Thirdly floor jacks move when you jack up while the emergency jack gives a pure vertical lift. Fourthly, you know the jack is there and it works for and emergency. 5th the Saab jack is a pretty decent piece of kit.
