After viewing no less than 10 Daytona jack videos and reading a few of the comparison reviews, I realize that this video is not only the best analytical analysis, but it is comprehensive and most informative. It is because of this video that I am able to confidently select and purchase the best Daytona jack for me. I was stuck on the DS300LR with the foot pedal vs the DJ3000 Super Duty model. One thing to observe is that Harbor Freight is not stupid...they are constantly raising the prices on ALL of their jacks.

I own the Pittsburgh 1.5 ton aluminum race jack myself. It gets "light" use at the home garage for basic repairs on my own vehicles. I got it because its light weight, easy portability, and the handle really does come in handy. LOL No issues so far.

I have used the 3 ton aluminum racing jack for about 6 years I believe. It works great and considering I’ve used it outside in rain, dirt, mud you name it and it keeps going it just speaks for it self. Recently I just got my own garage and purchased the low profile long reach in green. The jack is awesome! I will be purchasing a 2nd one here in the next few days for that added height.

How prices have skyrocketed. I bought the 3-ton Low-Profile jack for $119 over this past sale... Normal price used to be $109 and Super Coupon price of $98... The $21 price difference isn't gonna kill me, but now full price is $160 for the 3-ton Red Low-Profile Jack. So in 3-years they increased the price of the same jack by $50 almost 50%. This is absolutely insane. I'm glad I at least bought my Daytona Jack Stands for $29 for a set of two.

Great job and fantastic information...Thanks for all the work and study it takes to put out these great videos.

I wanted the low profile high lift jack in black, really badly. Of course when I got there, black was the only color they were out of, so I got orange. It works just as well, obviously, but I had wanted to put "21" stickers on my blackjack.

That foot pump feature on the long reach is nice. Some of us with really low cars struggle when we have to slide the jack all the way under to reach a certain jack point. I’ve broken a few screwdrivers trying to jack the car up enough to get the lower portion of the handle in lol

Great comprehensive vid, I really like the long reach model as well with the additional lift height, I have an Arcan that I bought from Costco years ago and it's a quality jack as well. My understanding was the Daytona long reach jack can be fully extended with the foot pump, that would be a huge advantage when working in tighter quarters like a crammed garage. Not a big fan of Harbor Freight's anemic 90 day warranty on many costly items.

I was looking at the race jack, but the trolley jack is 1000# stronger, 13# lighter, and $50 cheaper. I think it's the better option for someone looking for a jack to bring to track days and autocross. I've also seen a lot of reliability issues with the race jack with hydraulic failures and screws falling out.

Bought the blue 24". w/foot pedal. Another good thing about that pedal is, if you don't have room to swing the handle, you can jack up a wheel, for changing a tire with the foot pump

I'm all jacked up about this HF floor jack vid.

That $30 2-ton trolley jack is MARVELOUS for wheel service. Far safer than scissor jack, doesn’t get stuck like the bottle jack, the detachable handle is perfect for moving it. I keep mine behind the passenger seat stored in its box sideways and it has helped me far too many times when I come across people with car trouble. Add a jack frame adapter, which looks like a hockey puck with a slot, and it can be used for shallow frame lifting as well. I own other jacks, but this one travels with me everywhere. I stole my current jack from Harbor Freight on Black Friday for $42. It’s the 3-ton low profile Pittsburgh. Awesome jack, just doesn’t lift high enough to fully use my 24” jack stands. Can be made even more versatile with the crossbar adapter that I also own. I am with you, going to get that long reach Daytona and finally have full use of my jack stands.

I just stumbled upon the bear. This is brilliant lol. Voice goes perfectly with the bear

I bought a three (3) ton floor jack ten (10) years ago for my home shop. I paid 50.00 Usd for. It is still working. I have been eyeballing the aluminum jacks. They look really good. I am getting older.

That trailer dolly is awesome! It works extremely well, even going across relatively packed down dirt and grass.

Hands down the most thorough low-down on Harbor Freight floor jacks.

That was super helpful, thanks. My crappy little Craftsman floor jack that was fine when I was driving a first-gen RX7 is scarily at the edge of its abilities trying to lift one end of my Outback for the seasonal wheel swap. I've been looking at the HF jacks but they don't make it easy to compare.

I purchased my long reach last weekend. I didn't really need one, since my 3 ton gray Pittsburgh is perfectly well in working order. I just wanted to go up just that little bit more with my cars. I did use the $20 off . But like you said, i was not able to use the other $10 off coupon. I may post pic of it lifting my F150 with no problem. It gave me 14" clearance from the bottom of my 18" tire to the ground. Plenty if i say so.

I bought the green Daytona 3 ton, low profile, and I thought it was... fair? I mean, it was only $110 but it has a bit of trouble lifting a 2005 Honda Odyssey. Doesn't feel all that strong, TBH.

I’ve had the one at 7:40 for 5-7 years and it’s worked great.

Towards the end of last year I found a coupon for the Daytona 3ton extended reach/low profile. I think the price was $189.99? But I sprung for the extended warranty and ended up paying about $215-220 (I don't remember). I have only used it a handful of times but have no issues with it. I probably should have skipped the extended warranty tho. I agree with what you said, Details matter! Also the coupon I used was only good for the orange, black, or yellow I believe. Weird. I got orange.

Great video, thanks for sharing!!!

thanks for the video... I need to get two new 3.5 ton jacks because 2 of my old napa jacks have walked away... thanks for the info very informative.

I bought the super duty for a couple of reasons. 1) I compared the Pittsburgh (back before the Series 2 came out) to the Daytona right next to it. The welds and finish were night and day. 2) The super duty happened to be on sale for less than the regular price of the low-profile long reach Daytona, which they didn't have in stock yet. Haven't been disappointed in my choice.

I have a Pittsburgh branded jack from hf that is similar to the blue long reach low profile Daytona. It served me well for about 10yrs now. I think I picked it up for around $140 with coupon. Back then the 20% coupon had way less restrictions.

i have the green long reach low profile, i got a part time job there to get discounts on tools. I paid about 140$ for it with a coupon and my employee discount

I have the 3 ton Pittsburgh Pro low profile Grey Jack. I use a hockey puck to put in the saddle. Works great!

I really needed this video to help clear some things up. Your pick is the one my buddy was recommending most, but I wasn't certain. Something else I think might be going on: These are all so similar in spec, someone like me who may not know what they're looking at may see a coupon for one of the regular 3-ton Daytona jacks and think it's a steal when it's not.

I bought the Pittsburgh 3 ton low profile back in 2010. I beat the hell out of it for work everyday and it won't quit. I also have the 1.5t racing aluminium but I only use that to support engines/transmissions when unbolting motor mounts.

I have the Pittsburgh 1.5 and red 3.0 "big red" both work incredibly well but always use jack stands. Always.

I have kept a HF 3 ton floor jack in the back of my F-250 for a couple years now. Have used it a couple times and it works good. I think it weighs about 73-ish lbs.

Okay, it's been 4 years, but "jack racing".... that was hilarious! If I get one, I'll let you know how fast it goes. I just want to change my oil. I'm thinking instead of jacking my car up, then getting jack stands, I can just get a pair of ramps for half the cost. I change oil more than I change tires, so it makes more sense. I was impressed that you knew the black jack that was really gray is really black and only looks gray so it doesn't look black. You are clearly a jack expert to know that it looks different in the picture as it does in person and able to explain why. That is fascinating. I was having fun with the bear. You know, when he disappeared, I still envisioned him as the one who was still talking (it's the first of your videos I've ever seen). So to me, the bear was off to the side somewhere and still talking to me about these jacks. Each time the jack changed, I figured the bear was clicking to the next jack and then talking about that one. Each time I was thinking, "that is one smart bear". Then I was thinking about the bear actually using these jacks because he knows so much about them, then thought, how is he going to get under there? Then I realized he wouldn't fit under my car and probably only does trucks. Now I'm laughing at myself. Most people would be embarrassed to admit that, but not me.

i bought the red trolley jack to keep in the back of my suv as it didn’t have a jack and i needed one. i was gonna get a bottle jack for portability but this one, so far, seems fine for just that. putting on your spare if you habe to, as well as coming in handy for lifting things or doing something like holding your exhaust to put it on etc. do not recommend it for normal use. those 3 ton low pros and 1.5 ton aluminums for the win. bottle jack and trolley just for supporting parts/spare tire install :)

Never seen this channel before and I thought the bear guy was awesome! I was expecting a normal shop guy... and got a BEAR!

I recently bought the Low Profile, Long reach jack and I absolutely love it. I needed it for the lift and I haven't found another jack from any manufacturer that lifts over 2 feet up. The foot pump also makes lifting smaller cars simple. Most times I dont even use the handle.

I’ve got the rapid low profile jack. I was looking at the new one you mentioned liked the way it looks.

I have that trolley jack and the smallest bottle jack. Works perfectly fine for occasional work on my tacoma in the apartment parking lot

I've got that trolley jack, and it's perfect for my occasional use. I'll get my Crown Vic up just high enough to get my jackstands under. No sweat.

Aluminum can definitely compete with steel, but it all depends on a number of factors. In general, for a high-grade aluminum alloy, the tensile strength is very very close to a lot of steels (better than mild steel, for sure). The big differences I would worry about in a jack are: (a) quality of the aluminum alloy and (b) durability. Aluminum fatigues a lot more than steel. So if you are going to put it through a lot of repetitive use, I'd take the steel all day long. If you are only using it every so often, then save the weight and get the aluminum, IMO.

I own both the 1.5 ton racing jack and the 3 ton lo-pro long reach. It feels like a "lifetime" combo. I have not run into a job I couldn't do with these.

I have the 3 ton low profile with the 2 ton cross beam. Great combo for my Nissan frontier

Back in the 70’s if you wanted a floor jack you bought a Hein-Warner, a Lincoln or a Walker. They were 1.5 ton and they were over 400.00 in 1977 dollars. Astro Pneumatic was a VERY small company and they started importing Japanese 2 Ton jacks that were top quality! I knew the family that owned Astro. We sold a TON of these for 129.95! They KILLED Hein Warner and the other US jacks! They didn’t break either.

all i can say is thank you for this awesome analysis of all of these harbor freight jacks that i was totally balled up in my underwear trying to make some sense of them. what they are doing is the old marketing strategy of dividing and confusing the customer so they buy what the company says is your best deal and to say the least; i was confused. you pointed out so many critical factors such as the added wing weld and the curvature of the wheels that i had never even thought of. being an old very amateurish gearhead i thought i was somewhat well-versed when it came to jacks, but you really gave me a much-needed short course on the realities of hydraulic jacks. keep up the great work for your very appreciative viewers!!!

Scissors jacks... I have over a dozen. They're very hand for everything but lifting an auto... They're great for wedging a board up in a doorway to keep a Visqueen (construction sheet plastic) barrier so drywall dust doesn't contamination the whole house. The jacks can be used during welding or house framing to motivate things to line up correctly before final anchoring. Seriously, anyone doing big things around the house needs at least three or four of these at-the-ready. But, visit the local auto salvage yard to obtain them... ~$5.00 each.

Reminds me of the old Realistic Flavoradios from RadioShack.

Man I loved those!

I almost died laughing on the comment (I don't know what fool is out there racing his jack) funny lol

Thanks for sorting that all out. I would just kinda glaze over when looking at the jacks in the monthly catalog. Stay well , stay safe. Hopefully bears are immune. Wish we all were.

You are correct the Daytona Jacks are the most awesomest Jacks. I have the orange low profile Long Reach , and I'm sure it will last a hundred years. I think the best upgrade that you didn't mention was the CV type joint, that connects the handle is the body of the jack to release the pressure , or lock the valve for lifting. A great improvement over the two wheels with teeth, the ended up stripping. Harbor Freight the number one seller of jacks in the world

I have the low profile long reach daytona and i love it. It lifts my land rover LR3 without an issue and this vehicle is heavy and has air suspension so I needed a super high lift to get passed that. Its also low enough to get under my lower cars. ALSO it does come with the pad

I hope you show the difference between the 4 ton jacks, since I’ll be using it for big trucks

I have used a trolley jack to help with my front end rebuild.

This video was really helpful. I have a scion XB I want to work on but I'm a fat dude and not a mechanic build. A 2 ton jack is plenty of lifting power but that 24 in max lift height has me contemplating the one you suggested. 2 ton jacks don't get that high. Max height was not something I was considering until this video.

Got the 3 ton low pro Daytona 2 weeks ago. Love it so far.

I've got two of the 4 ton Daytonas. Wish I'd gotten them a long time ago, great jacks.
