My previous Harbor Frieght superduty cost me over $300 for one year of use and failed. Add fuel and time lost to replace it and the cost is higher. My two ton Snap On Jack has cost me $75/ year so far and the cost will be lower next year. It has yet to fail. It and the new 3ton Snap On use the same type of seals that Caterpillar uses in its hydraulic cylinders. If the two ton starts leaking I can rebuild it with high quality USA made seals. The Harbor Freight uses o rings. They failed on my previous Harbor freight jack. A leaking jack can cause damage and can fail when you need to remove jackstands from under your ride. Been there before. Anyways I will post a video when I have issues with these jacks. Hopefully the HF can hold up longer than the previous one.

Take your grinder to the intake ports of those peanut ports heads, open them up to match a regular oval intake gasket and you'll be amazed. Just bell mouth them to about 1 inch in and you're good. Big valves aren't necessary either but, will net you about 20 horsepower. Chinese intakes work fine but, also need to be gasket matched. If you have a US made intake, I'd prefer to see that on the engine. Compression with PP heads is no different than any open chamber head. To run pump gas, keep it around 9.5:1. Cam should be no bigger than 224/234 duration. A 750 cfm carb will work fine and a vacuum secondary is best on the street. This combo will net you around 450 horsepower and well over 500 ft lbs of torque. And it'll work to very near 5500 rpm. Regular oval are best but, PP's can be made to work if you already have them or are in a tight budget.

Five years you give the ICON...I see guys have problems with ICON at five uses. I work in a professional shop with various aged guys amongst us. The newbies are constantly burning up their gas and lunchbreaks going to get warranty on tools from Harbor Freight. But hey...lifetime warranty right? Never mind if you gotta plan your life around getting your broken garbage replaced. It becomes a way of life for some. Look at all the money they saved on the cost of the tools though. Haaaaaa!!! Ha Ha! I just laugh. It may be wrong to laugh but, I can't help it. All the uptalk about how it's the same as Snap On, and far less costly. Yet, the look on their faces is pricelessly hilarious when you hear and see the snap of a cheap tool as they use it. I shouldn't laugh, I know that not everyone can buy Snap On or tool truck everything...But, then I think of the decades that I've endured by doing exactly that. I paid my dues over the years and now it's time for me to do the picking on and not the other way around. Now I have a huge fortune I've spent in tools and things go relatively smoothly for me. Not saying that, because I spent so much money for tools that don't break, because on occasions they do but, certainly lees over the years with experience. Seems like us older guys are less abusive to our hard-earned tools and can usually find ways to not be brutes. I have noticed when you buy something nice and use it regularly that, you never want to be without it. Thus taking better care of things. These young kids are just too amped up in the beginning and are no way gonna spend the kind of talked about $$$ for tools and got no time for slowing down to get help or be using the right tool. I see them with the attitudes of, I'm gonna get through this job at hand if I gotta ruin half of everything I own. Little do they know how long that strategy can actually last and, how things go in the long run. A year or two later if they last, of paying their new guy dues and being humbled...things then change. They eventually come around to having some sense and truly invest in themselves at whatever level they want for themselves. It is a vicious cycle. I believe there is some value to be had with cheapo tools as well. You can go to Harbor Freight and buy something to use just one time, modify or hack it up to get your job at hand finished without destroying your nice tools. That's generally the exception. No way I'd cut or heat and bend a $200 wrench when I don't know if I'll ever need it for the same thing again. I'll go get a $50-60 wrench for doing that. Then again, maybe I won't. Maybe I'm having a bad day and I'm sick of it all and tired of all these vehicles costing me money to work on, with less-than-ideal reward. Maybe I'll have the shop buy it...cause I ain't doing it.

When I worked as a diesel mechanic I quickly found that the cheaper tools can’t hold up to abuse like the name brand ones can. So, a way to keep the cheap tools to last is to go bigger. Don’t just rely on the 3/8” drive ratchet. Invest in the 1/2” and 3/4”. With doing this, I never broke a ratchet. I will admit to splitting a few sockets, even the name brand ones, but never broke a ratchet.

Yeah I spent my younger years buying tools off the trucks. Now I'm retired and spending money on postage returning tools by mail to Snap On. In fact I have another screwdriver sitting on my desk waiting for me to contact customer service to get a return authorization. It's inexcusable for the handles to dissolve just sitting in my toolbox. I also didn't appreciate the $140. 3/8ths drive flex head ratchet going limp to the point where it was unusable. Or the 1/2" drive tear drop ratchet that the 2 screws that hold the mechanism plate in place loosened up every other time you used it. They are supposed to have a no question warranty. Yet I have to email customer service, give them a model number which is almost impossible to do in the case of the dissolved phenolic handles, explain the problem, provide photos, then return the tool at my expense. The only positive thing about it is they have discontinued lots of the tools so they send a modern updated equivalent. Another positive thing is I can then sell the brand new tool on ebay for more than I paid for it, and replace it with a Harbor Freight version using a discount and occasional coupon. Being retired I can get by just fine with HF tools. I have one store 4 miles from me.

3M makes a plastic fingered roloc disc for aluminum. They don't remove any metal. They're colored to distinguish "grit". White, yellow, and green. They work great and save the elbows. I started using them over 20 years ago when I worked for a Cadillac dealership. Personally I still finish with the red scotch brite pad.....or a grey.
Heavy has always been my experience with RaceTec. Whether na or boosted. Good work deburring and polishing. The finish most piston companies leave should be criminal. Sharp valve reliefs are just the beginning. Good to see someone using their head!
Same jack made at same factory Ceo of harbor freight confirmed this.
CEO is full of 💩 I have a 8 year old two ton jack machined and assembled in America with USA parts. The factory cast and stamped the major parts. The quality control was done in the USA.
Do some more research because there was a lawsuit file by snappy against HBF regarding a floor jack. They proved it was made in the same facility in Asia. HBF obviously got access to the direct snappy manufacturer. Look up some snappy jacks that have folded under weight. I'm sure you'll find the made in China stamp or sticker on them.
Was also a lawsuit that Snap on lost claiming HF copied their Jack and was dismissed because they are both made from the same manufacturer in China
@@JohnSmith-fy1nh Harbor Freight won because it proved that it did not copy the Snap On jack. HF proved that its jacks were produced at a factory that used low quality chinese made internal parts and less precise machining procedures. A different factory stamped and cast the hard parts for Snap On then sent to the Snap On factory where the Jacks were welded machined and assembled with USA made internal parts .
@bigboreracing356 FJ400-5 power unit assembly "made in China". That's the pump for the 4 ton snap on jack I have a photo if you want to see it. Pumps are Chinese. Snap on likes to use word pkay like made from global parts or assembled in the USA
The quality difference is minor The price difference is major. I like name brand stuff, but I cant justify the price for the Snap On. Ive got the Daytona Harbor Freight jack and really enjoy using it.
My previous Harbor Frieght superduty cost me over $300 for one year of use and failed. Add fuel and time lost to replace it and the cost is higher. My two ton Snap On Jack has cost me $75/ year so far and the cost will be lower next year. It has yet to fail. It and the new 3ton Snap On use the same type of seals that Caterpillar uses in its hydraulic cylinders. If the two ton starts leaking I can rebuild it with high quality USA made seals. The Harbor Freight uses o rings. They failed on my previous Harbor freight jack. A leaking jack can cause damage and can fail when you need to remove jackstands from under your ride. Been there before. Anyways I will post a video when I have issues with these jacks. Hopefully the HF can hold up longer than the previous one.
@@bigboreracing356 yea that sounds annoying. I probably dont use my jack as much as you do. If I did then Id lean towards the Snap On. Did you have to order that from a Snap On truck?
@@logicgates7732 I got it from a truck dealer. He had it drop shipped from the assembly plant. Someone told me to put synthetic hyd oil in the hf jack. They claimed the o rings would last longer
@@logicgates7732 I have a 3/4 ton diesel and a Full size Chevy that I do regular maintenace on and drag the jacks through gravel and dirt alot. If you use the HF on cars in a garage or shop it should do okay. Going to buy a vintage Atlas/ Milwaukee Model 20 jack that has a hard chromed cylinder. This jack has the correct way to mount the cylinder but is not stabil on soft ground. Made in USA but was put out of business by HF. Seal kit is o rings like the HF but bigger. It i
Maybe you should think about using the green nitrile o rings. Think about it those are used in AC systems so they can withstand hot and cold. @@bigboreracing356
Take your grinder to the intake ports of those peanut ports heads, open them up to match a regular oval intake gasket and you'll be amazed. Just bell mouth them to about 1 inch in and you're good. Big valves aren't necessary either but, will net you about 20 horsepower. Chinese intakes work fine but, also need to be gasket matched. If you have a US made intake, I'd prefer to see that on the engine. Compression with PP heads is no different than any open chamber head. To run pump gas, keep it around 9.5:1. Cam should be no bigger than 224/234 duration. A 750 cfm carb will work fine and a vacuum secondary is best on the street. This combo will net you around 450 horsepower and well over 500 ft lbs of torque. And it'll work to very near 5500 rpm. Regular oval are best but, PP's can be made to work if you already have them or are in a tight budget.
@@bigboreracing356 Mark Jones (VortecPro) has made over 600 horsepower using PP heads.
It is normal for axes to have that "hump" at the top of the handle, it is where the handle tapers back towards the head so the head can be seated down on the handle, and go no further.
The hump does not need to be that tall for that small axe head. I removed almost a 1/2" of material off of the hump and have plenty left to seat the head when needed.
Lol not an air tank its an air compressor
Tomato tomato, lol
@bigboreracing356 lol I know bit an airyank would be aloy bigger and pump yhe tire up faster. This tire inflator is so fast I love the thing Beatas anything else out there.
@@markk3948 I like it.
Impressive
Its okay
I wonder how long this would take to air up a 37” tire lol
A long time lol.
@@bigboreracing356 🤣 so like one for each tire….
Nope, a simple gas powered wheelbarrow aircompressor mounted in the bed will work.
@@bigboreracing356 yeah the pitfalls of 2dr Wranglers is limited bed space lol
You're not putting 37s on that if you have common sense😆🤣😆
I thought it was proving that daytona and snap-on was made from the same manufacturer and made the same. Even snap-on was trying to sue the manufacturer
So there's no Icon ratchet in this video? Personally I don't use old ratchets, the old stuff is usually weaker / softer steel. New stuff is better than old, generally. I use a double pawl Wright for most things, or an extendable Hazet. No real need for cheater bars on a ratchet for what I do, unless it's on the 1" drive.
No Icon. The video is for those who claim icon is the same quality as SnapOn and is a demonstration proving their claim is flawed.
Um you know it's the same materials snap apart will all be over seas soon all there power tools are China now and you know it's coming and change attitude how about the harbor jacks that are the same jack made in same factory yet you will pay 5 times more for the same thing. Also snap apart can and have said no to lifetime warranty so explain that.ill stick with the cheap if it breaks I get new but I will have money won't have to take out a loan and then pay even more over the price of tool. Also I have my grandpa's old tools and his old tools from 70s same thing can't break it so it's other brands as well.
Cool story.
it slighty over fills the tire to account for the air leaking out when you take the attatchemnt off
It worked fine on my race car.
Been out of the seat since 2012, retired. 218 HY Lab was a good crane to run back then. AC is a big plus. Good heaters in Link Belts also.
The heaters worked real good in the summer lol
@@bigboreracing356 You can shut the flow of water off going to the heater core at the engne in the summer time. There will be two T handels at the water pump on front of engine. Close them, that stops water flow going to cab.
@@deanmccartney5021 I did. Thank you 👍🏻
I’ll stick with icon, keep that strap on trash.
My trash survived 40 years of use and abuse. You wont stick with ICON junk very long . 😆🤣😆
@@bigboreracing356since about 2000-2010, Taiwan has made tools that easily compare with USA tools. Go look at ratchet and wrench tests on KZread.
You're ready to get jacked now.😁👍
Should have got a lift lol
Five years you give the ICON...I see guys have problems with ICON at five uses. I work in a professional shop with various aged guys amongst us. The newbies are constantly burning up their gas and lunchbreaks going to get warranty on tools from Harbor Freight. But hey...lifetime warranty right? Never mind if you gotta plan your life around getting your broken garbage replaced. It becomes a way of life for some. Look at all the money they saved on the cost of the tools though. Haaaaaa!!! Ha Ha! I just laugh. It may be wrong to laugh but, I can't help it. All the uptalk about how it's the same as Snap On, and far less costly. Yet, the look on their faces is pricelessly hilarious when you hear and see the snap of a cheap tool as they use it. I shouldn't laugh, I know that not everyone can buy Snap On or tool truck everything...But, then I think of the decades that I've endured by doing exactly that. I paid my dues over the years and now it's time for me to do the picking on and not the other way around. Now I have a huge fortune I've spent in tools and things go relatively smoothly for me. Not saying that, because I spent so much money for tools that don't break, because on occasions they do but, certainly lees over the years with experience. Seems like us older guys are less abusive to our hard-earned tools and can usually find ways to not be brutes. I have noticed when you buy something nice and use it regularly that, you never want to be without it. Thus taking better care of things. These young kids are just too amped up in the beginning and are no way gonna spend the kind of talked about $$$ for tools and got no time for slowing down to get help or be using the right tool. I see them with the attitudes of, I'm gonna get through this job at hand if I gotta ruin half of everything I own. Little do they know how long that strategy can actually last and, how things go in the long run. A year or two later if they last, of paying their new guy dues and being humbled...things then change. They eventually come around to having some sense and truly invest in themselves at whatever level they want for themselves. It is a vicious cycle. I believe there is some value to be had with cheapo tools as well. You can go to Harbor Freight and buy something to use just one time, modify or hack it up to get your job at hand finished without destroying your nice tools. That's generally the exception. No way I'd cut or heat and bend a $200 wrench when I don't know if I'll ever need it for the same thing again. I'll go get a $50-60 wrench for doing that. Then again, maybe I won't. Maybe I'm having a bad day and I'm sick of it all and tired of all these vehicles costing me money to work on, with less-than-ideal reward. Maybe I'll have the shop buy it...cause I ain't doing it.
Holy shitty run on sentence batman!
When I worked as a diesel mechanic I quickly found that the cheaper tools can’t hold up to abuse like the name brand ones can. So, a way to keep the cheap tools to last is to go bigger. Don’t just rely on the 3/8” drive ratchet. Invest in the 1/2” and 3/4”. With doing this, I never broke a ratchet. I will admit to splitting a few sockets, even the name brand ones, but never broke a ratchet.
Because no one has trouble with snap on, right? I mean you have to justify the price you spend on tools to yourself and that's ok.
Yeah I spent my younger years buying tools off the trucks. Now I'm retired and spending money on postage returning tools by mail to Snap On. In fact I have another screwdriver sitting on my desk waiting for me to contact customer service to get a return authorization. It's inexcusable for the handles to dissolve just sitting in my toolbox. I also didn't appreciate the $140. 3/8ths drive flex head ratchet going limp to the point where it was unusable. Or the 1/2" drive tear drop ratchet that the 2 screws that hold the mechanism plate in place loosened up every other time you used it. They are supposed to have a no question warranty. Yet I have to email customer service, give them a model number which is almost impossible to do in the case of the dissolved phenolic handles, explain the problem, provide photos, then return the tool at my expense. The only positive thing about it is they have discontinued lots of the tools so they send a modern updated equivalent. Another positive thing is I can then sell the brand new tool on ebay for more than I paid for it, and replace it with a Harbor Freight version using a discount and occasional coupon. Being retired I can get by just fine with HF tools. I have one store 4 miles from me.
@@SouthwestD313 I have trouble with my Snap On tools. I have to derate them after 40 years of abuse.
Why don’t you stand on the Icon like you did with the Snap On?
Lol There is no such thing as a 40 year old ICON that has been through what my Snap On has been through or I would. A five year old ICON with broken and worn internals will not perform as well as my 40 year old ratchet. The ICON is junk.
Nice!
This was hard to watch
Icon is junk and will not last 40 years. Next time buy Snap On
@@bigboreracing356I don't have 40 years left to live so I would rather save money
@@fauxque5057 This video is not intended for people who want to save money. It is itended for people who claim ICON is the same quality as SnapOn. I want to save money in the long run. Thats why I buy Snap On hand tools.
I’ve got jus tabout all of my tools from the 70’s. And quite a few of my Dads wrenchs and sockets from the 40’s & 50’s. Can’t beat some of the old tools. Long before China.
Alot of the tools I grew up using walked away.
@@bigboreracing356 At 71 Mine didn’t walk away, I just don’t know where I filed them. Or my dogs hid them again !!! 👍
@@Oldgreycowboy 😆
@@OldgreycowboyHave any black handle Snap On tools from the 70s and 80s?
@@fauxque5057 No, don’t have any snap on tools. Most of my sockets and wrenches are the old Craftsman, a few SK. And some are just unbranded. A few newer sockets are Pittsburgh that have snuck in there. Needed some impact sockets. Never had an impact wrench till a few years ago.
I see the Daytona for sale all the time for 150 or less? I think you payed to much for both😂 and jack oil is cheaper than paying 100s more
i have a 2 and half ton American made jack from way back in late 1980s and all i have done is add some fluid once it beats the crap i have that i thought would replace it the cheap Chinese garbage they make nowadays.
I have a Couple old jacks in storage that need seals. I may make a video on them to see if they still work.
Everything from harbor freight is junk 💯
Alot is! But not all! Let's be honest!
@@troybrake5686 🤔 can't think of anything 😂
My Hercules die grinder has been really good to me and I like my general tool box pretty good, the 4 in one welder is hanging on so far
@@troybrake5686 cool, I do mechanic work , so I break a lot of tools .
I don't do alot anymore but when you do it daily it's worth paying more for quality! But HF has saved me on a few projects! I'm porting a set of cast iron heads and the Hercules grinder and Amazon carbide burs has done great, I even broke out the shaft driven Dremel after Amazon sent me the wrong set( to small) burs and they work perfect for blending close to the valve seat! Speaking of that the rain is slacking so I better get back at it, I don't get many weekends off to work on it!
I wish I had bought a couple really nice, best quality, jacks about 30 years ago. Instead I just slightly upgrade my set every few years, each time thinking "this is the one", then a couple years later wishing I had just paid more for something better.
I wanted to see if it was the same as a Snap On and it isnt.
I've never had snap on, maybe I'll try that next time.
@@safaricartvideos I am going to replace this HF junk with a Snap On when it gets worse.
Good video
Sounds pretty damn mean!😮
Lol. I like it. Putting together a stronger engine when the machine shop gets done with my parts.
I have no clue what i just watched. Reduced compression for more boost?
Yes. With pump gas Higher compression and lower boost made to much cylinder pressure which kept damaging parts when trying to make power. Lower compression allowed more boost and timing which made more power.
@@bigboreracing356 Thanks for the explanation. 👍
I ran one of these recently at a shipyard in washington state. I enjoyed it very much.
Now that looks to nice to cut wood with.😎👍
It will be PERFECT to cut wood with after I get done with it, lol.
Very nice looking axe.😎👍
Thanks. It turned out really good.
Omg I learned how to become an operator with one of this at the steel shop yard. Loved it
NEED SOME WHITE LITHIUM GREESE ON THOSE GEARS, GREESE THE WHOLE MACHINE DOWN WHILE UR AT IT. YOU WANT HEAT, CLOSE THE DOOR IN FRONT OF THE RAD. I DID RUN WHAT THEY HAD BEFORE THAT, N WHAT THEY HAD BEFORE THAT.
The mechanics took care of it.
I've used used synthetic oil from my car to paint wood, makes them black and water repellent for years. I have wooden platform with wheels i use to transport barrels of detergent, it gets it share of detergents and its nearly constantly wet or atleast moist. I got third set of wheels in it within 10 years as they get rusted off.. the platform itself is still solid as ever
My work hammer has had the handle oiled with engine oil after use and when its put back in the box for over 40 years now , its still as good as the day I put the handle on .
