What is Going On with Harbor Freight's Floor Jacks?

[@MarcoEvens]

“It’s your life under there.” First rule of mechanic work I learned was to use jack stands. Second rule was to shake the car to make sure it’s stable. Always make sure the car is safe and stable before working on anything on a lifted car.

[@denoftools]

Third rule, send the new guy under first.

[@MarcoEvens]

The Den of Tools all too true. 😂

[@aubreycamachomd5717]

After viewing no less than 10 Daytona jack videos and reading a few of the comparison reviews, I realize that this video is not only the best analytical analysis, but it is comprehensive and most informative. It is because of this video that I am able to confidently select and purchase the best Daytona jack for me. I was stuck on the DS300LR with the foot pedal vs the DJ3000 Super Duty model. One thing to observe is that Harbor Freight is not stupid...they are constantly raising the prices on ALL of their jacks.

Back in the 70’s if you wanted a floor jack you bought a Hein-Warner, a Lincoln or a Walker. They were 1.5 ton and they were over 400.00 in 1977 dollars. Astro Pneumatic was a VERY small company and they started importing Japanese 2 Ton jacks that were top quality! I knew the family that owned Astro. We sold a TON of these for 129.95! They KILLED Hein Warner and the other US jacks! They didn’t break either.

[@cardo1111]

Great comprehensive vid, I really like the long reach model as well with the additional lift height, I have an Arcan that I bought from Costco years ago and it's a quality jack as well. My understanding was the Daytona long reach jack can be fully extended with the foot pump, that would be a huge advantage when working in tighter quarters like a crammed garage. Not a big fan of Harbor Freight's anemic 90 day warranty on many costly items.

Towards the end of last year I found a coupon for the Daytona 3ton extended reach/low profile. I think the price was $189.99? But I sprung for the extended warranty and ended up paying about $215-220 (I don't remember). I have only used it a handful of times but have no issues with it.

[@Broncort1]

So what would you use on a 2500 diesel Silverado to rotate tires?

[@PaulSteMarie]

Depending on the alloy, aluminum can beat mild steel for strength. For example, 6061 has a yield strength of 35 kpsi, 2024 60-68 kpsi, and 7075 73 kpsi. By comparison, 1018 cold roll has a yield strength of 53 kpsi, 1045 65 kpsi, and 1095 (aka W-1 tool steel) 76 kpsi. Alloy steels like 4130,, 8620, and 4341 can outdo that (63, 103, and 121 kpsi), but are quite expensive.

[@KrisKustomPaint]

W1 and 1095 are not the same thing. Also yield strength alone is not a great way to evaluate a material.

[@PaulSteMarie]

@@KrisKustomPaint W-1 has slightly wider allowed ranges. Aside from that there's no real difference. From the AMS Metals Handbook, vol 1: W-1: C 0.7-1.5, Mn 0.10-0.40, Si 0.10-0.40 1095: C 0.9-1.04, Mn 0.30-0.50, Si 0.10-0.25 P, S, Cr, Ni, Mo, W, and V are all treated as impurities in the spec with maximum allowed values.

[@melgross]

It’s difficult to make direct comparisons. Each of these materials has a rather wide range of strengths depending on how they were made, temper, forming, etc. so standard A36 mild steel, mostly used in construction, can be anywhere from 32,000 psi all the way up to 53,000psi. The other alloys, both iron based and aluminum based can vary by the same amounts. And design can negate strength differences between materials.

[@Lashazior]

Maybe so, but strength isn't everything. Aluminum is very different from steel when you start comparing stress-strain curves.

[@mechboy5954]

Agreed

[@shane3350]

I bought the Pittsburgh 3 ton low profile back in 2010. I beat the hell out of it for work everyday and it won't quit. I also have the 1.5t racing aluminium but I only use that to support engines/transmissions when unbolting motor mounts.

[@darinsmith9468]

Aluminum can definitely compete with steel, but it all depends on a number of factors. In general, for a high-grade aluminum alloy, the tensile strength is very very close to a lot of steels (better than mild steel, for sure). The big differences I would worry about in a jack are: (a) quality of the aluminum alloy and (b) durability. Aluminum fatigues a lot more than steel. So if you are going to put it through a lot of repetitive use, I'd take the steel all day long. If you are only using it every so often, then save the weight and get the aluminum, IMO.

The carrying handle on the racing model seems to be in an odd place. Why in the spot where it is? It doesn’t seem to be placed based on balance. It’s all the way by the lighter end. But it’s on the side of the end, so when you pick it up, all the weight will twist the jack so that the handle is no longer horizontal. I don’t get that.

I use my dad's 3.5 ton Craftsman. Still works great. He bought it in 2001

I got my yellow Daytona floor jack on March 21st 2020 for $174.99 I’ve been wanting that jack for years, and the $174.99 was the best price I’ve ever seen, thanks Bear for all you do, keep Momma Bear and the cubs safe durning this time of crazy

[@n9wox]

I got mine on sale for $179 in 2017, so $175 in 2020 is a very good price.

Now its 270?

I own a 2011 silverado crew cab 4x4 1500 series 5.3 liter engine. What ton low hydraulic floor jack is right for my truck ?

[@MrKannon9]

I’ve got the 1.5 ton jack in my Jeep for when I go off roading alittle block of woods and it’s worked great

[@knyshov]

That $30 2-ton trolley jack is MARVELOUS for wheel service. Far safer than scissor jack, doesn’t get stuck like the bottle jack, the detachable handle is perfect for moving it. I keep mine behind the passenger seat stored in its box sideways and it has helped me far too many times when I come across people with car trouble. Add a jack frame adapter, which looks like a hockey puck with a slot, and it can be used for shallow frame lifting as well. I own other jacks, but this one travels with me everywhere. I stole my current jack from Harbor Freight on Black Friday for $42. It’s the 3-ton low profile Pittsburgh. Awesome jack, just doesn’t lift high enough to fully use my 24” jack stands. Can be made even more versatile with the crossbar adapter that I also own. I am with you, going to get that long reach Daytona and finally have full use of my jack stands.

That trailer dolly is awesome! It works extremely well, even going across relatively packed down dirt and grass.

Don't the regular 20% off coupons work with the Daytona floor jacks as well?

[@denoftools]

No, they are excluded by name

[@mitchellhuey5612]

@@denoftools Well now, will have to look then for the specific coupons down the road to get a Daytona floor jack...Thanks for the heads up.

[@BradsWorkbench]

Whats weird is the website lists the 3 and 2 ton jack both at 70 lbs. Must of been an oversight while getting ready for the next liquidation sale

[@denoftools]

LOL, good catch. Did you see the shipping weight? Apparently if you have it shipped it reduces the weight by 11.28lbs. That is a pretty neat trick.

[@BradsWorkbench]

Inconceivable!!!!!

I just stumbled upon the bear. This is brilliant lol. Voice goes perfectly with the bear

This needed to be told. Thank you.

You are correct the Daytona Jacks are the most awesomest Jacks. I have the orange low profile Long Reach , and I'm sure it will last a hundred years. I think the best upgrade that you didn't mention was the CV type joint, that connects the handle is the body of the jack to release the pressure , or lock the valve for lifting. A great improvement over the two wheels with teeth, the ended up stripping. Harbor Freight the number one seller of jacks in the world

[@pizzaROX]

Hello thanks for the video!!! So what are the main reasons to go with the Daytona 3 ton vs the red Pittsburgh 3 ton? Does the Wing really make that much of a difference?

[@jm.4071]

Can you recommend having the 1.5 ton racing Jack to have it on the trunk for replace tires on the go?

[@floridaredneck]

Okay, it's been 4 years, but "jack racing".... that was hilarious! If I get one, I'll let you know how fast it goes. I just want to change my oil. I'm thinking instead of jacking my car up, then getting jack stands, I can just get a pair of ramps for half the cost. I change oil more than I change tires, so it makes more sense. I was impressed that you knew the black jack that was really gray is really black and only looks gray so it doesn't look black. You are clearly a jack expert to know that it looks different in the picture as it does in person and able to explain why. That is fascinating. I was having fun with the bear. You know, when he disappeared, I still envisioned him as the one who was still talking (it's the first of your videos I've ever seen). So to me, the bear was off to the side somewhere and still talking to me about these jacks. Each time the jack changed, I figured the bear was clicking to the next jack and then talking about that one. Each time I was thinking, "that is one smart bear". Then I was thinking about the bear actually using these jacks because he knows so much about them, then thought, how is he going to get under there? Then I realized he wouldn't fit under my car and probably only does trucks. Now I'm laughing at myself. Most people would be embarrassed to admit that, but not me.

[@NobodyWhatsoever]

I really needed this video to help clear some things up. Your pick is the one my buddy was recommending most, but I wasn't certain. Something else I think might be going on: These are all so similar in spec, someone like me who may not know what they're looking at may see a coupon for one of the regular 3-ton Daytona jacks and think it's a steal when it's not.

[@jodyburton0351]

I bought the super duty for a couple of reasons. 1) I compared the Pittsburgh (back before the Series 2 came out) to the Daytona right next to it. The welds and finish were night and day. 2) The super duty happened to be on sale for less than the regular price of the low-profile long reach Daytona, which they didn't have in stock yet. Haven't been disappointed in my choice.

[@JoseGonzalez-ew6zz]

I bought the Daytona professional yellow jack because it was built at the same factory as snap on and has 3 year warranty
