O'REILLYS TANK TOUGH FLOOR JACK REVIEW AND TESTING!

[@mikeconner5119]

luv the truthful review on this jack we now know the weak spots good job

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

You’re welcome, thanks Mike.

[@bigbluegpr]

Excellent unbiased, unsponsored, honest real world review! We can always rely on Rachel 🐰 and that other guy to tell us the straight facts!! 👍😁

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

For sure, I definitely had higher hopes for this Jack.

[@user-JamesLacy]

I think it still a good jack. As soon as you said you were going to jack up the tractor in grass I thought it would sink. Then you said it had rained I knew it was going down. It would work good on a borad or some thing. Still a good video.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks, I didn’t really expect it to work on the grass but hoped it would. Overall I think it’s a bit overpriced, I expected a bit more out of it.

[@davidmuise388]

Thank you both for an interesting video and thank you Mrs Rachel for being apart of it it shows you are concerned as well cause women do get in predicaments as well as guys so you were awesome as always again love you both and thanks for sharing appreciate I’m really impressed thanks guys ❤❤

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks David!

"I didn't look at the directions on this". That's how you know this dude is for real.

[@michaelyoho4848]

Thank you for the awesome review and info.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

You’re welcome, appreciate the feedback.

[@oakiewoodsman]

DUDE! That is really cool! I need to check in on this. I had been checking in on the Badlands off road jack because my conditions are not suitable for a regular jack. Thanks for making this video!

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

You’re welcome, it does look cool but I think it underperformed. I took it back and may try a Badlands. You definitely have some rocky soil over there!

[@oakiewoodsman]

@@hardworkingmanoutdoors I believe those are on sale for Black Friday

[@neoskater420]

I got the Badlands jack had it for over a year now. I do my own repairs this jack is a game changer offroad and dirt drive ways plus have a 6'lift. My old Pittsburgh just can't roll in dirt plus the 6'lift sometimes I need the extension for the rear differential depending on angle. Go with Badlands you won't regret it only thing is it is heavy and the handle/rope is in an awkward place there are kits and videos showing how to make that different to suit your needs me I'm wait til it breaks and I usually man handle it by grabbing the whole thing I'm a small guy and pulling up on the handle rope just isn't for me lol.😅😂

[@timb7775]

Wow you are really jacking it up. I would never jack my car up that high or even need to. My parking area is gravel and my old floor jacks work just fine. One is a big Crafstman jack that I move around on a moving dolley to make it easier, my other is a smaller floor jack I can easily pull over the gravel. Never have an issue with them sinking in the gravel. I would never even attempt to use them on grass. I cant see needing new floor jacks, these old ones are fantastic.

[@williesweetjr8713]

Really good review. It seems design wise a center pivot on the bogies, metal wheel plus wider track might benefit wieght distrbution, ability to roll on rough surfaces and overall durability. It woud also add to the cost of an already expensive tool and the wieght. I have to agree, it is a cool looking tool!

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I agree. It looks sweet but functional and build quality left a little to be desired. I ended up returning it.

[@TonysCoolTools]

Now that is a Cool looking Jack! I agree plastic parts on a Jack scares me. I worked in the automotive industry for 10 years and Hein Warner was one of the best. Jacks in the industry and still is. Great review guys.👍TCT

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks Tony, after using it a bit more it went back to the store. It looks cool but just don’t think it’s worth the price.

[@MuhaloTube]

Thanks for doing a video on the jack. I would have concerns about sand and or mud getting in to the tracks and making it difficult to move. I think I like the big polymer wheels on the Badlands jack a little more.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I agree, I ended up returning this after using it a bit more. A badlands may be in my future.

[@bendugas8632]

Heath, couldn't you bring 1 wheel to a machine shop and have 8 wheels either made of steel or thordon then your jack would be even better, interesting video and a good demonstration of the machine thanks for sharing.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I’m sure you could, but not sure how much that would cost. I ended up returning it after a little more testing, looks cool, nice concept but I think it could have been executed better.

[@joeydelgado6119]

Very similar in design to HF Badlands Off Road Jack (which I own) but with tracks. Based on what I see here on the video the Badlands is better in multiple ways and it is less expensive. For one, the bottom of the Badlands has a flat bottom that helps prevent the jack from sinking into soft ground. The only thing that can make the Badlands jack better would be larger wheels, but it does pretty good with what it has IMHO.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Good to know. I ended up returning this Jack. May try the badlands.

[@mercurymangarage6186]

Yeah the plastic wheels are concerning. I think the tracks could be wider too. All in all it’s nice but could use some improvements. Great video.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I agree, thanks.

[@Urbicide]

A machinist could easily fabricate new wheels out of steel. The "tracks" are an off-the-shelf cog belt turned inside out.

[@Digidoc316]

Plastic wheels are a hinderance but not a deal breaker. I would be more concerned with the piviot point front and rear. Instead of putting the piviot in the center, allowing each end of the track to float up and down, they chose to extend one axle and have the track carrier piviot around that point. If the track piviot was centered, it wouldn't have burrowed into the grass during the tractor lift test. Another benifit is that the track will extend beyond the piviot point providing more stability.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I agree 100%. I ended up returning the jack. Cool concept but poorly executed I’ll be doing a follow up video soon.

[@mrdude2702]

Looking at the video closely, I'd say that jack is made by the same company that makes the Badlands "off road" jack. The only difference was the track. Even the axle shaft looked the same, and the Badlands jack has plastic wheels too. I think the Badlands jack is (or was when I bought it) running for only $300.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I think the Badlands jack may be a little better built.

[@Fudgieguys]

Just for a tire change on the tractor, the jack was raised just high enough to change the tire. Two safety jacks, good to go.

[@outdoorswithlarryrobin]

Hello Heath And Rachel the cheap plastic wheels would make me question the actual steel it’s made of. Reminds me of DR junk.👍🇺🇸

[@stephenreiner1523]

I liked the design of the jack but when you pulled them off and I saw the plastic I said oh no that should have been a cast steel part. Of course any jack on wet turf is going to sink down as you are lifting. After I saw the plastic in that bearing I was like why couldn't they have made that out of steel? It did well lifting on gravel but for $400.00 everything should have been made from hardened steel. That's always an issue with any floor jack the conditions you're lifting it under and sod is a no go because of the permeability of the surface tension. Overall how much stress will that plastic take before it cracks. Unfortunately you can't pick and choose when and where you're going to need to jack a heavy piece of equipment up. That's just the nature of the beast, but thank you and your better half for taking the time to make this video for us. Content means a lot as does diversity. So, I will always say to all of you who take the time out of your day to share with us something new that it is much appreciated by me and Heath I would never even think to say you wear a dress even though that would make it a very entertaining video if Rachel could hold the camera still long enough to get through the video. Thanks guys and always appreciated.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks Stephen, I agree, I expected a lot better construction! I ended up taking it back I just wasn’t impressed especially for the cost.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I agree, I don’t think the steel was that great either. I ended up returning it.

[@goonsville340]

I’ll wait for the second generation of this jack

[@msk3905]

Or a Chinese company to copy it them sell for a fraction of the price

[@noegonzalez4050]

Hi my friends how's going? It's nice where you get it from. I love it 🤔🙏

[@everettt8301]

O'REILLY AUTO PARTS.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

We got it from O’Reilly Autoparts, but ended up returning it after a bit more testing. It just wasn’t as well built as I had hoped.

[@matthewaustin3934]

3/4 plywood on grass or uneven terain> THANKS for the review.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

You’re welcome!

[@chrisavila2073]

Nice I need that

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

It definitely looks cool but I feel it could have been executed better. I ended up returning it.

[@rebeccarobinson7024]

Have u seen the off road jack from harbor freight

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Yes, I was going to buy one then saw this and wanted to try it.

[@everettt8301]

I just mention the Badland Off Road jack. I like it.

[@OpieDogie]

Where I’m at I can see dirt and rocks getting in those tracks causing major problems. I’ll stick with my badland offroad jack.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I had hoped for more out of this Jack but it just didn’t do it for me. I returned it.

[@ClickinChicken]

that's a good point the jack goes up in an ark. so if the wheels are dug in, It will slip from where it was started. bigger footprint.. anyway. have a goodin'

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks Brian, overall I was pretty disappointed in this Jack after a bit more testing. Back to O’Reillys it went.

[@whatfreedom7]

My concern is can you get parts for the track system now and later on? I’m betting you can’t even buy parts for it.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Definitely a valid concern.

[@everettt8301]

I need that for my '19 Toyota Tacoma. $349.99 shipped to my local O'Reilly Auto Parts store.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I’m not completely sold on it yet. It’s definitely cool though. The plastic wheels concern me.

[@everettt8301]

@@hardworkingmanoutdoors I'm leaning more to the "Badland 3 ton Off Road jack" at Harbor Freight after seeing a KZbin video of the Badland alongside the O'Reilly Tank Tough jack. Like you mentioned those plastic wheels are a deal breaker for me. Maybe if you kept the jack on a coated or cement garage/Pole Barn floor it's entire life it may be alright. Check that Badland 3 ton Off Road jack out at or online Harbor Freight.

[@theguymaxqc]

i need one for sure or the one whit big rubber wheel

[@theguymaxqc]

and wont mind a women like your wife too 🤣

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks, she is awesome. I think I may return this tank jack and try the big wheel off road jack. I expected more out of the Tank.

[@theguymaxqc]

@ yea i feel like it would be better for sure.

[@raymondmitchell8791]

But will it roll over a zip tie?

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Yes it will. But overall I think it could be built better.

[@jimmyowen3977]

At 400 dollars you expect better. I will save my money. I do have a ranch jack rated at 7000 lbs. Would it have lifted the trailer. I don't know but I have used it to lift one side of my tractor that weights over 6000 lbs.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I have to agree. After a bit more testing I ended up taking it back to the store. May try the Badlands.

[@John-NeverStopLearning]

I like the idea, however as soon as you removed the track I knew I didn’t want one. The axle should have at center between the two ends of the track to distribute the weight. Great idea bad execution.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I agree, I ended up returning it. Great concept poor design and quality.

[@DAVIDCOLSON-er2kb]

So, it is a common failure for most people using a jack. It is safe to place the vehicle in neutral when jacking any vehicle. It allows the jack to remain stationary and pull the center mass above the jack's center. Please be safe and never leave a car in park when jacking.

[@mattmanyam]

What if you're jacking from the side?

[@DAVIDCOLSON-er2kb]

@@mattmanyam use a scissor jaCK IF LIFTING FROM THE SIDE ON SOFT OR UNEVEN GROUND

[@sirwallygator565]

Way over priced for what you get.. Better to just buy a good Jack and have a piece of 3/4+ plywood to put under the jack.. My opinion only

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I can’t argue with you on this one. I expected a lot more out of it.

[@delliott777]

The gorgeous gal makes it worth it

[@msk3905]

The minute I saw this all I saw was $$$$. This is the dumbest thing I have seen on some time, if I have jack in the gravel I’m putting a normal priced jack on a piece of plywood then jacking it.

[@whatfreedom7]

I just need something to jack my camper up or maybe my truck out in the yard or driveway.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

This jack didn’t do too well in the yard. I ended up returning it.

[@jeffstrains4014]

I think its loosing a lot of ability having those tracks mounted on end roller, VS the center to pivot and distribute the weight.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Definitely underwhelmed with this one.

[@johnhighberger2762]

Great idea but as soon as I saw that the each track only has one shaft connected to the jack frame that pivots, I knew it wouldn’t work. Each track only has one pressure point. The tracks need to be connected on both ends to distribute the load over the length of the track. Typical marketing crap by companies with no real engineering thought behind it.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I agree, I ended up returning this jack after some further testing. Planning on doing an update video soon. Great concept poor design and execution.

[@Dadwithallthecool]

Wait till Harbor Freight copies it and sells it for 1/2….

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I may pick up one of the Harbor Freight off road jacks. Not real impressed with this one as I used it more.

[@philliphall5198]

Just about twice what I would pay for it 😢😢😢

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I ended up taking it back. After I used it a bit more I just don’t think it was worth the price.

[@JackO-d9t]

No way!! I spend that much

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I ended up returning it, I just don’t think it was designed/built well enough to justify the cost.

[@JackO-d9t]

@@hardworkingmanoutdoors your right!.

[@jimmyv5730]

That jack is $350, only a life long mechanic would buy it and that's a maybe, I sure wouldn't.

[@DaveofAllTrades75]

Just looks like a poor copy of the Badlands Jack from Harbor freight it’s pretty much identical copy the only difference is they put tracks on this one instead of big wheels which I think is just a gimmick but it does look cool but I guarantee it makes it harder to push around than the Badlands Jack with the bigger wheels which is a awesome Jack imo they’re both about the same price but with a coupon on Black Friday I got mine for $200 not $350 like this one cost.

[@richardmiller3781]

This whole jack is just a gimmick. in the end it is a 3 ton jack with standard length lift. Its not even a rapid pump. If you look at the label it looks like Harbor Freight made this.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I’d say the harbor freight jacks are made better. I returned this one.
