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
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
@@JustinDowDIYcentralhighway Thanks. I usually set the Jack at the welds but maybe I’ll start jacking from a different spot so the stands can go where the pinch welds are. Thanks for a great video with energy and isn’t boring like many others.
Been using it everyday since this video at my shop and hasn't failed yet. Continues to impress even when I think the weight of a truck might be too much it just keeps on going. Cheers!
I hope i didnt get a lemon. I bought the 3 ton with the 24 1/4 max lift. It only has a 3 month warranty so we shall see. I am leery of all things harbor freight but these jacks have way better "stats" than anything i could find
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
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.
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 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 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.
The 4 ton is now the same price as the 3 ton low profile long reach, making the 3 ton low profile long reach the obvious choice. Or better yet, save $60 and just get the 3 ton low profile. While the long reach might seem insignificant, it does allow the jack to go higher, which is important for many. No more using wood blocks to get that extra height. And check out the Pittsburgh branded jacks, which are practically identical to these new multi colored daytonas for less coin
You should have gotten the Daytona 3-ton, low-profile & extended reach for $25 more. It has the foot pump to quickly set the saddle on the frame rail, plus it gives you an added 4-inches of lift.
All the jacks at HF are good choices. Me personally i got the 3 ton low pro Pittsburg and its been nothing but great and ive lifted everything from low ass hondas to full size trucks. Great video Justin.
For a corner. 3 and 4 ton jacks should breeze through most things. The yellow jack is superior because its hydraulic systems are much better. Meaning it will hold your shit up for a week with no drop. These other jacks wont do that.
If I had to make the choice. I would have went for the 3 ton long reach low profile. Though the lowest height is marginal but sometimes just a half inch can make a difference. What I do like is the higher 24inches. Works real well with the 6 ton Jack stands. And when I am working on the ground under a vehicle. It is nice to have that extra room without having to raise it in multiple stages to get the height I need. That is my own opinion. You may not need that aspect of it. I do.
Best one is the long reach jack that was 199 in the vid with the footpedal. Has a long reach and max height of 24 inches. Harbor freight had it on sale for 179.99 plus there was a 20$ off coupon .
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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!!
This vid on u tube has the yellow one , He owns a auto shop and after one year of use , looked like it had been beat with a chain for a month straight. He says it gets used all day everyday , any way he proceeds to roll it outside and has a flat bed wrecker parked , he says it weighed 12,000 lbs , He jacks it up and then goes to lunch , comes back after an hour and it didn't budge...That's what I based my decision on , I purchased the same DJ3000 yellow Daytona.....And I love it.

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.....!
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.
for most cars 2 tons is fine ,, I have a large car its only 3300 pounds for the whole car.. You only lifting one area at a time ,,And placing it on jackstands... Never work on the car or truck with just the Jack under it.... Three tons for the truck would be fine.... You need to refill the hydraulic fluid to make sure it's full could be the reason why you're not getting Rapid pump...They do sell it with low oil My low profile jack from Harbor freight cost me 79 bucks on Blackfriday Same Daytona i saw for 110...
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.
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.
I have a quick jack that I bought from Harbor Freight with the quick pedal in the back. It does meet the frame quicker, however because of the lift rate, it is hard to jack up if you are lifting a heavier vehicle. I don’t see that jack offered anything from Harbor Freight. For smaller cars it’s great, not so much for full size cars, or trucks. The jack that you’re showing looks to be better than the one that I purchased, for heavier vehicles.
Everybody says the low profile, long reach 3 ton is great. I just bought one and can't believe how slow it lifts. It must take 25 strokes to reach full height. 👎
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😜
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! 👍
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.
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.
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.
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! (I'm not affiliated lol)
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 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!
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).
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.
Damn yo, inflation really hit hard. Can’t believe these were that cheap only 3 years ago.
Seriously, I was thinking exactly the same thing ... shit's sad
Yep. But no mean tweets is worth it I keep being told
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
I always thought that the wood was to prevent wearing. So it wouldn't be metal on metal.

Nice!
Just got a super duty 3ton ... Came with 3yr warranty
I purchased 3 ton low profile. 9 months later after very little use it stopped working.
How heavy is this? Im looking for A jack I can keep in my truck for emergency's like flat tires.
I went with the 3 ton low profile. It works great on my k1500, older impala and my Avalon Touring.
On that Jetta, where do you place Jack stands?
Pintch welds that run along the seem of the body. sometimes you might see a hard plastic piece under Neath. That's a good spot too
@@JustinDowDIYcentralhighway Thanks. I usually set the Jack at the welds but maybe I’ll start jacking from a different spot so the stands can go where the pinch welds are. Thanks for a great video with energy and isn’t boring like many others.

did that come w/ fluid already in it?
Why is yellow 279 now
How has it held up over time? Have you used it alot?

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.
“How about that “ with the mechanic pose right after 🕺🏽 😂 awesome video 🤟🏾
I definitely want one in that green pretty ...like sublime green 👍
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.
I have a quick jack that I bought from Harbor Freight with the quick pedal in the back. It does meet the frame quicker, however because of the lift rate, it is hard to jack up if you are lifting a heavier vehicle. I don’t see that jack offered anything from Harbor Freight. For smaller cars it’s great, not so much for full size cars, or trucks.
The jack that you’re showing looks to be better than the one that I purchased, for heavier vehicles.
Everybody says the low profile, long reach 3 ton is great. I just bought one and can't believe how slow it lifts. It must take 25 strokes to reach full height. 👎
How come you didn't compare it to the 3 ton professional jack that harbor freight compared to snap on jack?
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😜
7.21.2024 - just paid $239 for the 4 ton jack ON SALE ... thank u bidenomics 🤨
The best tools are the ones you use the most
People “ foot PeDAL” it’s a nice ergonomic perhaps for old people. But regular joes should have the muscle to do it by hand lol 😂 lazy USA
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! 👍
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.
The black may not clash too much with the green
Dough. Another massive setback. (know what you mean)
They’re close enough in most light you’ll never notice
Thats funny right there what you said🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍
But will the GREEN jack clash with your shoes?
Just bought the 3T apid lift, low profile, long reach for $94 plus tax.
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.
I'm back in 2024. Look at those prices!
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.
The lack of grease fittings was a deal breaker. Had to go the model up
The 4 ton does have grease fittings.
I bought that low profile jack a few months ago and it for surely has some weight to it
The right one is the cheapest that can do the job LMAO!!!
Beautiful jacks that I wouldn't even want to put them to work cause they'll get scratched.
Current day these prices are wasaaaay higher
The 4 ton is closer to 300 now
Logic sounds good to me.
Good info, thanks for the video!!! 👍🏻🇺🇸
Bleed it, add jack oil and change out the O rings on the pistons every couple of years.
Got news for you, the low profile Pittsburgh low profile does the same at half the price
The 3 ton low profile long reach has a foot pedal and the Daytona 3 ton yellow jack has a 3yr warranty that comes with it.
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! (I'm not affiliated lol)
I can’t find that app but thanks for the advice
I assume these are made in China? Can someone confirm this...
Just ordered the Daytona 3ton low profile long reach floor jack in black and I can’t wait to throw away my old clunky Craftsman 3ton jack
Same with me:) just ordered it through eBay and excited to receive the same one.
“U know what ignore what I even told u about the wood thing” I love this shit !!! Getting making videos Justin !!!!
Keep*
We already know about the wood thing. Just don't crawl underneath anything unless you have at least two methods of support.
Thx for doing this review. Iam looking for a jack. On the used Jack's, what can one look for to check if it's ok. Any recommendations on jack stands
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
I picked up a nice set at the good ole harbor freight 6 ton....with coupon...40 dollars. Great comfort while working on the van.
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 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!
my dad is thinking of buying the orange one. how has it treated you so far?
@@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!
@@WorksIRL that's great to hear!
Good job..Daytona the best looking jack..looks solid
Watching this vid in 2024, I wish that yellow super duty 3-ton was still $209!
That's sleepy Joe for ya 😅
I got the 3 ton for my Camaro SS, things great.....
I could be wrong but don’t you have to bleed the hydraulics when you buy one of those. Just a thought. Thanks for making the video.
milkcrate919 I heard no with the new ones
Great video! Thank you. Definitely helping me make the right decision.
I got the same 💩 and it works great for me & girls i go out with.🤑
I like the jack
Read the safety sheet do not use on loose soil or unleveled ground
Love the enthusiasm! Great review man!!
Scandel~ the Warrior playing in the background.
Shootin down the halls of harborfreight- bang bang
I'll buy Day-ton-a
I just bought a 1.5 ton pittsburgh, I hope it holds up better than the jack stands lol
This video helped me out. Going to get me a Jack.
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).
It's your $ justin so if you think it's the right one then it is. Keep doin you man you're awsome👍
What do you do when you jack at the pinch weld? Use a special slotted pad?
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.
