Like most things it exists because it's slightly better, or fits individual circumstances better.
The standard cheap sctew jack you get with the Jimny is fine for changing a wheel, but like many I own a trolley jack as I find it physically easier to use.
So at home the trolley jack gets used for everything, never the supplied screw jack.
So, hypothetically speaking, if I was in a position that involves a lot of jacking away from home then I could be persuaded keep a trolley jack in the vehicle. Now add soft ground and a dislike of thick planks on which to balance any jack, hey presto, I am in the market for said skid jack.
Perfect example of why the standard jack is no good for me - - - - hypothetically.
But then none of this applies, which is why I have only ever used the standard screw jack to change a wheel out and about and why it's just as good. - - - but then I did wish I had my trolley jack on me when I did it
