for fun unboxing a Pittsburg 3 ton floor jack from harbor freight 

I laughed out loud when you put the witness marks on the bolts. Always a ride mechanic at heart. 😅

Harbor freight is definitely cheap, however, my deadblow, impact sockets and breaker bar have lasted over 11 years - all harbor freight😂

Amazing attention to detail. This is the most impressive floor jack review that I’ve seen. Thanks for sharing! 🙌🏾

It's probably a tad overkill, but considering the industry you're coming from, I'm not surprised at all. When it comes to safety, overkill is king. I certainly didn't go through any of this when I bought my jack. Honestly a simple grease check and a nut and bolt couldn't hurt

You are the first person I have seen so through. Most people I know would just use it. Was surprised to see a man read the instructions😂 That part I do. I see the safety training from your years as a ride mechanic. I will say it was interesting and did learn a few things I didn't know. Like the oily box being so bad.

You moved a THREE TON jack around all by yourself? Without any help? You must be very strong! I think three tons is a lot!

Just a few days ago, I ordered a hydraulic car jack from Amazon. Part of the package was drenched in oil. The manual was drenched in oil. It wouldn't pass Check #1. Extremely helpful video as I imminently inspect my replacement!!!

So I've parlayed my industry specific knowledge of equipment into a fleet mechanic position for a large landscaping and excavation company. As it is I've been the guy in charge of the specialty work and repairs given my diversity of skill so it has been incredible to expand my purpose. I have the previous generation of this model and have gotten great use from it. One thing i will say is it would be nice to have the rubber pad with the jack. We just picked up 2 new mowers, some new backpack blowers. First thing I did was check wheel motors and hydro pump magnet caps for metal shavings. I always go through and check over brand new equipment as if it were 30 years old "easier to see bullsh** before it's covered in dog sh**"

I have a small garage... so I tried an $80 12v Vevor hydraulic jack - 5 ton. I will never go back to a pump jack. Much faster, more stable and higher lift. Small footprint, so jack stand locations and working under the car is much better. I've had various pumpjacks...as you lift, there is a small longitudinal movement/stress... this 12V jack is very stable all the way to top. As a bonus, it has a light...it's great. It also has an air compressor, so a neat 3 in one for the road too. Would love to add a 12V Milwaukee battery to make it portable...but I'm a little lazy nowadays..

I bought one and the cylinder won't lock, taking it back

What kind of light blue grease is that and why did you pick it? What do you use in roller coasters? I gotta ask ChatGPT someday re: sodium vs molybdenum vs lithium and why it's used. I just bought some Tribolube 71 for scuba stuff and use Nyogel 760G for flashlights.

Why didn’t you add any fluid? What was the point of this video , u said it doesn’t come with fkiid

Cool new type of video. I have a cheaper jack from Harbor Freight lol. Thanks for not being afraid to experiment. Imagine if this video blows up and gets more views than your usually (awesome) roller coaster stuff lol.

I've bought all my Jack's from harbor fright I own 3 now. 3ton Dayton, 3 ton Pittsburgh. 1.5 ton Pittsburgh. An my ramps An jack stands are also from there

Unboxings are always fascinating. This was tied into the theme of your channel nicely. 7:30 The old “I’ll see if I can do this with one hand since I’m holding a camera” unboxing. Not a true unboxing video if you don’t do that lol 12:50 “Witness Marks” (I never knew the terminology or that paint pens were used) in order to get it approved & certified by the State Agricultural Dept before it can operate for the public. You have to do amusement park taste testing videos to make your channel complete!

I have almost the same exact floor jack Edit: Mine's a Daytona but it's a harbor freight 3 ton jack

What's the maximum lift? The specs say 19 7/8, but the outside of the box says 18 1/4?

The Daytona Jack is the same jack snap on sells but MUCH cheaper. There was a lawsuit and snap on lost. These high prices on the tool trucks are in my opinion kids aren't getting into the trade. I'm a veteran mechanic and we need help in this industry.

Beautiful work. I learned something. Did you mention cost? I missed it.

did you finish the oil change?

3:33 - OMG! He used the m-word! I have to report this video to RU-vid! You can't say that on a family friendly channel, man!😆
