This video will discuss all the current prices, specifications & real world use of the New Low Profile Heavy Duty Dual Rapid Pump Floor Jacks from Harbor Freight. Which one I bought & why I chose the one I chose and Why?
I LOVE the 3 ton low profile, long reach. It has the fast foot pump, plus it goes lower and higher than all the other Daytona jacks. It really is a solid piece of equipment and gives me the most versatility out of the bunch.
i put a deflated hot air balloon under my car, lit the propane heater and the car went 20 feet off the ground when the balloon was full then i needed a ladder to rotate the tires.
@@YoungHKim-dk3rg hey mr kim, read roginski thread above about the boulder there are lots of ways to jack up a car. i think it was funny, yu have no sense of humor but jesus still loves you and you will go to the pearly gates of heaven with the lord his holiness jesus christ our savior.
Yes , all the Harbor Freight Datona floor jacks will roll over zip ties that are laying on the floor. The front wheels on all Dayona floor jacks have curved wheels (inside of the front wheels to the outside of each front wheel]. Most all floor jacks don't have curved front wheels but have flat front wheels. Gregg Muse
Good topic and video. I'm considering the 3ton lowest profile with the long reach, and foot pump feature. These never go on sale, however... I am also now considering the one you got! 4 tons is no joke! Thank you Justin! 👍
I think this is an excellent choice and will fit a wide range as you have shown. Doesn’t this come with grease zerk too! Anyway. Good choice, good demo! I went with the 3 ton Pittsburgh Automotive lightweight 67 lbs vs 100 lbs Daytona 4 ton as I am twice as old as you and only work on my stuff. Not like I am going to be pushing the jack all over the place but if I need to load it up to take with me, every pound saved helps us senior citizens! Thanks for sharing!
I bought the Original Yellow 3 ton for 179.00 3 yrs ago when they were still in the midst of the lawsuit with Snap-On. It was the only one available at that time but prolly would go with the lowest profile 3 ton version today
@@armadillotoe yeah is that the only difference otherwise lift height and reach are very similar i think the original yellow is still better for the extra 20 bucks?
I bought the 3-ton low profile long reach jack for myself. It has plenty of weight capacity for my needs, and I know for a fact it will easily go under my mother's 2007 Corolla S and lift my 2002 RAM 1500 Quad Cab 4x4 from the frame rail lickety split. I got it on sale for $179.99, so I was very happy with the price, too.
@@DonnieDarko1They all come in multiple colors. My 3 ton long reach ultra low profile is bright green; I learned not to buy another black jack, after accidentally kicking it or tripping over it numerous times. Bright green and it never happens. I needed the long reach low profile to get under my Porsche 928, yet it works great on my Expedition, too.
If I had to make the choice. I would have went for the 3 ton long reach low profile. Though the lowest height is marginal but sometimes just a half inch can make a difference. What I do like is the higher 24inches. Works real well with the 6 ton Jack stands. And when I am working on the ground under a vehicle. It is nice to have that extra room without having to raise it in multiple stages to get the height I need. That is my own opinion. You may not need that aspect of it. I do.
After spending several weeks reviewing the Pros and Cons on the Daytona 3-Ton Low Profile/Long Reach Jack and Daytona 4-Ton Jack and watching your video. I just picked up a Daytona 4-Ton jack in Blue for $199 at Harbor Freight. ($239 - $40 coupon). I like the fact that the Daytona 4-Ton also has ZERK fittings for the front wheels just like the 3-Ton Super Duty. Will be using this for my current Toyota Tundra and soon to be Ford F250 Turbo Diesel!!
You should have gotten the Daytona 3-ton, low-profile & extended reach for $25 more. It has the foot pump to quickly set the saddle on the frame rail, plus it gives you an added 4-inches of lift.
All the jacks at HF are good choices. Me personally i got the 3 ton low pro Pittsburg and its been nothing but great and ive lifted everything from low ass hondas to full size trucks. Great video Justin.
Thanks for the videos. I was leaning towards the low profile long reach one until I saw this. For the time being I'm using the Pittsburgh low profile heavy duty. Works well. 2 and 7/8th to about 19 inches. Only paid 79 dollars with coupon last year
I guess im randomly asking but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost the login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Turner Kane Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm trying it out atm. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Nice video brother, you should have gotten the one with the foot pump, makes it easier to start and way faster too, but it's still a badass floor Jack, you take care and its Beer friday.....!
When you're in a tight spot I've come to find that it's actually safer to have a few pieces of wood that are large enough to put underneath the jack rather than on the jack itself. This is definitely far more stable but can still be a bit hairy
Great review! I've been debating which one to get for a few weeks now. I recommend checking the hydraulic fluid level and then bleeding the hydraulics to get the air out of the system. You'll most likely get a more lift travel with each pump. Air is compressible and no good for hydro systems.
Reminds me when I was young and dumb. Worked at a tire store that had the singe post in ground Rotary lifts. In order do lift a full size dodge van without the center post hitting the drive shaft we would use a 4x4 about 6 inches long on each side of the rear. Looking back lifting those without proper truck adapters was really dumb. I thank the Good Lord that He watched over me!
i will be buying the long reach soon, i have the older pittsburgh 2 ton long reach been a great jack, 4 inches is 4 inches i have lifted junk and i need all the height i can get.
Great video, I have the long reach low profile and is great when you have to support rear differential, engine and trannny when changing motor mounts and need that extra reach under the vehicle, instead of crawling underneath the truck to find the jack.
If you are going to be lifting heavier duty trucks with it I'd get the 4 ton. For most people however, the 3 ton low profile long reach is the best option. Has the foot pedal for when you don't want to pump it by hand 24/7 and can reach good jacking points easier than the regular one, especially if your pinch welds are rotted away and you can't use them.
I really like my yellow Daytona 3-ton super-duty professional floor jack the past couple years and like seeing your comparison of them. Thanks for the video and exhibition!
@@abrahamestrada2206 I’ve had the yellow 3-ton for over 3 years and it’s featured in a number of my videos on my channel and it’s been a 💯 solid performer!
Best one is the long reach jack that was 199 in the vid with the footpedal. Has a long reach and max height of 24 inches. Harbor freight had it on sale for 179.99 plus there was a 20$ off coupon .
Nice jack! I picked up the low profile 3 ton model with the 20" lift a little bit ago and freakin love the thing. I used to have to do the 2X4 on my trolley jack like you talked about to get my big ol Durango off the ground. The Daytona lifts it higher than I even need to go with ease. I don't know why anybody would be disappointed with these jacks.
Have you examined these to see if you can find a quality difference in design, thickness of sheet, wheels, etc.? Or is there just a slight size difference and capacity? Great demo!
Thanks for the video Justin....I'm thinking about getting that 4 ton myself.... what do you (or any of your viewers) think about the HF Aluminum jacks? .... I also need a jack for transporting in my truck.
My audi underneath the car is covered with plastic trims and i cant see any metal where i can set the jack to! Besides the side skirt … any recommendations where is safe to set a jack ? Beside pinch well on the side
I bought my current jack almost 40 years ago before there were Harbor Freight stores, from a store that sold imported tools. It's a Chinese heavy duty jack, & just needs new seals. It's done everything ive asked of it over the years. But the identification label is long gone, and finding the right seal kit near impossible. I paid $55, which, adjusted for inflation is around $150. So the 3 ton on sale looks like the best fit for my needs. Nothing I own weighs 8000 lbs. Because they're low profile, a wood block can be usually be added, giving the jack extra lift distance.
My Craftsman 2T floor jack I got back in ‘96 finally broke. I had to get a new one so I got the green NASCAR 3T jack. I hope it’s good. The Craftsman one was great for my Ford Taurus back when I bought it but not high enough for my 2 classic Mercedes or the Nissan Frontier. I’m hoping the green one will lift high enough.
Just bought a 4-ton after watching this video and the other one on Daytona floor jack. I think the 4-ton is a better value as you said it. I got 6 lbs truck and 6 lbs travel trailer. The 4-ton works better. The 3-ton is too light for me.
What value could we place on the super-duty? I’m shopping now, and wondering if super duty might translate to better quality (less chance of it breaking down)? Or do floor jacks tend to be trouble free anyway, so super duty would be meaningless outside of a busy shop? One of the things I hate about my old jack is when you try to lower it down onto the jackstands, it always comes crashing down (there is no slow).
Justin Aren't you suppose to purge these before first use. Also doesn't the yellow one have a longer warranty. The reason they're a tad more expensive?
Hey Justin, my names Gregg. Just finished watching your video on you deciding to purchase your Harbor Freight 4ton extrem green Daytona floor jack. You ask the question, if we thought you chose the right floor jack. Really just a couple of 3 things that you need to consider when making that decision. #1: Cost How much can you afford to spend on a floor jack? #2: What is your intended use for this new floor jack? Are you going to be working on just your 2 car & that's all? Or are you doing side jobs @ night & on weekends? Or are you taking it to a full blown garage. Also what type vehicles are you going to be lifting (low ground clearance vehicles, pickup truck, 4x4's)? #3: Last but not least, warranty. I could be mistaken but I believe 1yr is the longest warranty any of the Daytona floor jacks have except for the YELLOW Daytona Supper Duty 3ton floor jack which has a 3yr warranty. That's the same jack that Snap-on tried taking them to court on copyright infringement. Snap-on didn't win. Thank you for your channel. Gregg Muse
I'm trying to find a jack that's efficient for me also. I have an 02 Trailblazer which I'm going to do a brake job on in the springtime. Years ago I had a jack where if you pump it up one time and it shot up until it hits something solid than jack it up as usual. I think it was called daytona racing jack. I found it at Sam's club. I would love to find something like the ease of that one.
Good video Justin!! I am contemplating on a new Jack, I may just go w/a Harbor Fr8 4-ton, the 1 I'm replacing is a 3&1/4 heavy steel old monster, perhaps an aluminum would be nice 2 have??? Thank U-4 ur time Mr. Dow.
For a corner. 3 and 4 ton jacks should breeze through most things. The yellow jack is superior because its hydraulic systems are much better. Meaning it will hold your shit up for a week with no drop. These other jacks wont do that.
Like the enthousiasm and recognize the efforts. Question: Why not buy the "Racing" [aluminum] version? 3ton seems to be close to the same $ as the 4T steel version and 40 pounds lighter. I would think anyone with anything less than a 1ton could go with the 3 or 2.5 easily.
Great topic, I do need to purchase a floor jack soon. I had been wanting a green one to match my green tool cart but the Daytona green looks different/brighter than the US General green. I need to re-think my life now.
You said you paid 179$? I was about to get one last week but the price was 219 I think. Did you get yours on sale. Thanks for sharing. This vid helped me a lot to make a decision
I used this many times on my 2020 ram 3500 dually…. Works great. Bought a second one because…. Well you know. How many “whatever” do you need? Just one more😜
I recommend putting Harbor Freight Coupons App on your phone, it's 3rd party, NOT the official HF APP.. every coupon in US updated constantly, "add to cart" all the coupons you want including your free item, they scan your phone, never cut a coupon again!
Nothing wrong with the Pittsburgh's I've got a pair here at the house & I have a pair of Durlast under a Honda Civic which has been under it for almost 2 years it feels like. lol
How about them recalls on the the Pittsburgh jacks? I'm not convinced they fail, I think its mainly operator error. Either way I bought a pair of jack stands from Napa for $26
I bought one recently and can say I noticed the low profile one is worse imo as it only goes about an inch lower where i cannot fathom a situation where the regular 3 ton daytona wouldn't fit but secondly the low profile one pumps up about 30-40% slower and for anyone who regularly works under a car you know this is the biggest factor in buying these lifts.
Actually it's 90 days. Most everything there is 90 days. Except for most hand tools which are lifetime. And of course the yellow super duty Daytona which is three.
Nope. Pinch weld should hold up and it's under the car where you'll never see it so if it gets a little scratched or dented oh well. nature of the game. Not going to see it anyway. Cheers!
If it’s designed to be the lift point for the vehicle then the pinch weld will usually hold it. Now if the pinch weld is completely rotted out (Chevy Venture & Nissan Sentra) come to mind you have bigger issues like your car folding in half if you get hit hard.
Did you add hydraulic fluid? if not, the reservoir is probably mostly empty making the rapid pumping not as effective as it should be. It was clear that your pumping action range was very limited.
Justin quick question bruh.? Daytonas worth the premium price? Compared idk lets say a 70 dllr husky or craftsman etc. I really need a new jack since my last got stolen lol.
Someone did a review on a lot of different jacks. Left it under load for a week. The only jacks that didnt move were the yellow and the snapon that HF got sued for.
Which one would you recommend for a DIYer doing routine maintenance like rotating the tires and oil changes? I am still bummed you're not a neighbor😍😀 Thanks Justin once again for sharing your thoughts and videos, Rodney
