Harbor Freight Daytona 3 Ton Jack Stands, Full Review, New Tool Day Tuesday! Locking Jack Stands! 

How do you like them?

@@aaronjackson9603 I’ve used them many times and still love them and feel very safe under them. Never had any problem at all

Thanks!!! I typically use a 2nd set of jack stands and I almost always leave the jack still in place.

Us made is over 250 dollars 😂

The pictures I seen of the really bad ones that were part of the recall hardly had any teeth. There are also RU-vid videos showing some that have about half the thickness of the teeth that they should have. I'm guessing the molds for the ratchet arm were too badly degraded and they should of been discarded. Personally I cringe thinking someone wouldn't of questioned them and used them anyhow. Had I seen a jack stand like that I would of never used it. All of that being said, this is also no excuse for the manufacturer. After the recall there were jacks that split due to faulty welds, Harbor Freight recalled them as well, later to find out those hacks had just been misused and overloaded. Sadly there are other companies that sold the very same jack under their name and never recalled them.

I have a Walmart version of these not safe cause no pin 🫠, going to pick up a set tomorrow 🫡 and a Daytona cherry red Jack

The teeth on the ratchet arm were too shallow, the manufacturer had been making jacks for lots of companies and the casting dies had worn out and were out of spec. They were visually alarming and both you and I probably would of never used the stands and took them back. People started testing other models after the recall and one fellow managed to overload his jack stand and split one of the welds on the side of the stand, so harbor freight did a larger recall to get them off the market. Other brands had similar recalls, they just didn't go as pubic as Harbor Freight did.

pubic 💀

Late to your comment, but for others, they do have a 3 ton aluminum now. Slightly more expensive but also much lighter and smaller.

The rating on Jack stands is for the pair, the combined total.

The den of tools channel said they are coming out with six tons!

Jack Stands are sold in pairs and their ratings are for the combined pair. Harbor Freight does sell 6 ton and 12 ton sets of this very same design.

The folks in the store told me they were going too, but didn't say when.

@@1D10CRACY Looking forward to an increased height capacity of the jack. These at 16.x inches, pulling transmissions with a HF trans jack, there is no clearance. At the moment using 20+ years old Craftsman jacks that raise to 21.x inches (3 ton), but they're 20+ years old, would like to replace them for another 21 incher soon!

US Jack brand does exactly that. All USA made, but they are expensive!

Well, if the two teeth were on the same pawl, there's still a single possible point of failure at the hinge. Having a separate locking mechanism offers greater redundancy.

Personally I trust nobody. But I am capable of looking at a jack stand and making an educated guess on whether or not it is built right. If you are buying a jack stand based on the brand name, you probably should rethink your plan. Most Jack stands are made in the same factory and just have different brands stamped on them.

Because they have redesigned them and they are now excellent compared to all the other chinese made stands. You can buy superior USA made stands from U.S. Jack, but you'll pay a LOT more. I trust these and I always have a backup method of support by adding a screw jack.

Nope, no misinformation here. I did not show the recalled jack stands, nor did I was say I was going too. As explained in the video, these were new jack stands designed and released shortly after harbor freight did a major recall of existing jack stands that were sold.
