it's an emergency kit jack...yeah i'd never actually use it in my own garage. That's why I have a 3 ton low profile floor jack with stands for garage use.
But if i'm stuck on the side of some road, that 3 ton jack isn't going to do me much good in my garage
I've actually used the jack stand in the kit once...it worked, that's all I needed it to do.

Here - this might help you a lot more than the standard kit (for $10)

Some of us are not so fortunate to only have to drive between coffee houses, Nordstrom, and bistros in "NorCal." Try Vail pass on I 70 at midnight in a snow storm. Calling AAA? Try three to four hour wait if you are lucky. I guess some of us are just not fortunate enough to while away the hours eating sushi and waiting for AAA.

Just because something has 4 rings doesn't necessarily make it good. The OP doesn't have a kit; and my recommendation is to get something aftermarket that is woorthwhile. If you love your kit, good for u. and btw - I did go over Vail pass two weeks ago in a rental altima while it was snowing and no chains. Not sure why AAA would take couple of days to respond there. Either way - not sure what the argument is about - if u love your kit.... good.
Heading to Vail/Brekenridge again this weekend - sure miss the quattro in the snow while driving those rentals!

Do you really think VAG would put an unsafe jack in the car? It's an emergency jack. For emergencies. If you think the audi jack is a pos, you have never touched an American car jack. I have used Audi jacks on 200s S4s, and allroads. All for flat tires. All Worked like a charm. Solid and no shifting of the car. I have been in audi groups for 24 years and I never heard of an audi falling off a jack.
