“These instructions suck”
Automatic thumbs up
Brother, thank you. Air Force Vet here. You helped my operation.
Your video was exactly what i needed. It is guys like you that make life easier for the rest of us. Thank you
Thanks for the review. Finally decided to grab one from Harbor Freight today, still has it for $119 a year later. My old jack wasn't doing it anymore. Any way, you're not kidding about the weight, I know it said 83 lbs, but felt like 100+lbs weight, or maybe i'm just getting old. Advice to all users, every time I use a jack to lift my car, I put the wheels under the carriage in addition to using a floor jack. Just an additional safety measure.
You need to use jack stands too, that’s the most important safety measure, you should only use a jack to lift it, it’s not meant to support it. Just trying to save u brother.
@@TierOneTolley I bought a jack and 2 jack stands to do my oil change. Where is it best to put the jack and jack stands?? Should I place the jack in front of the car or on the side??
@@midngthourz9422 you should place your Jack on the front. There are a few places you could put your jacks, but the best place to put it in my opinion is the frame, which is a big thick piece of sturdy metal running along the bottom of your car
@@TierOneTolley that’s where I was thinking thanks brother. For the jack stands should I put one on each side of the car or under the actual car??
@@midngthourz9422 yes sir be safe. You need to put one on each side of the car, there should be a frame rail on each side you can put it on. I’d watch a video on how to set it up so you don’t get crushed
I bought the exact jack and it needed hydraulic oil to top off and work properly right out of the box. There were instructions with it on exactly how to do it. When fully filled it lifts a truck with just a few pumps. You could clearly see it barley lifted Vans truck and I believe it needed more oil too. Van thank you for the video as I love my Pittsburgh 3 ton jack and it sure is heavy. That’s good, once it’s on the floor. 🇺🇸👍
@@derfiemcgoo9673 the automotive store has hydraulic Jack oil. Check You Tube for instructions as I don’t recall exactly. It didn’t take more than a couple of ounces to complete the process.
Hello, question, did everythins as you said, it worked 2 times but now has oil leaking… any idea why? And how to fix? Thanks in advance
That’s not good. It shouldn’t leak oil. As I recall I removed the fill plug with the jack down and filled until I could see it at the plug hole threads. If that’s what you did and the plug is tight. It should work Mines still lifting trucks no problems 🤷🏻♂️Sorry your having problems o have pretty good luck with Harbor Freight tools.
Just got mine for $99. I’ve been WAITING for that sale 🙏
2:14 is what I was looking for as there is no mention of it, thank you so kindly and great video thank you again!!
Thank you. Received this jack today. The instructions do need revision. Clear they are not. Was having my doubts about this product until I viewed your video. Now, it makes sense.
Thank you
I bought this exact floor jack last weekend along with daytona 6 ton jack stand at HF. They were on sale. i used this floor kack to do an oil change earlier and it worked as described with no issue at all. It lifted my toyota rav4 with ease. Out of the box the instruction says you need to top off hydraulic oil before use.
do you have to fill it up with oil before use or it just say's that?
Finally a guy who gets to the point and is honest. Thanks
I got one too. Works great and need a back brace belt to pick it up
Definitely 😁
If u bleed it right u can get more lift out of each pump on the jack, I unboxed it to day and noticed it didn't work as good as my friends. So I looked up some stuff... just a helpful tid bit
I’m glad this video exists, I was confused about the little black clip and didn’t wanna mess up the jack right out the box
Excellent review! I bought one today at Harbor Freight along with four 3-ton jack stands.
Just watched this video... Having the same exact sentiments...I feel like our spirits are akimbo... Felt like we were having a one on one conversation. THANK YOU so very much for this my friend 🫡
Bless your soul!! 62 yo granny here trying to 'bleed' the floor jack per the manual I found online without proper diagrams, pathetic! You saved the day! Apparently bleeding it before use is not necessary. I was wondering, wait, I need to first buy hydraulic fluid and top it off before use?? Thought to google youtube and there was this saint from VansWorld! I'll def have to check out your products kind sir! Hoping you have a wonderful life!
Thanks for the instructional part, I thought mine was broken until I found out about the screw underneath.
Thank god for you, I’m on the side of the road just bought this last week so it’s it the back i got to set it and the instructions don’t make an sense trying to make you bleed it and need tools I was worried but got on UA-cam clicked on this and within 5 min I had the jack working!!! Thanks man!!! Awesome video from the side of the highway 👍🏽 Your right it does weigh 3 tons my back definitely felt it 😂
Thanks for posting this video. I wasted so much time trying to figure out how to put mine back in the box to put it away in the basement. There was no mention of that little black piece at 2:14 in the manual.
Harbor freight is A1 when it comes to tools. I definitely gotta get back over to that candy store for supplies.
I just pulled it out of its box thanks for the video!
No problem. I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Enjoy the floor jack. It’s a great investment 😁👍
I just bought one today I was losing hope till I came across your video thank you bro!
Thank you for this video. Zero instructions on how to attach the handle to the jack. Appreciate the help.
“Man these instructions suck I’m glad I’m making this video”
I’m glad you made it too 🥵‼️💪🏼
😂👍😁
This guy is a genius. Thumbs up
nah lol but thanks
Thank you. Was confused there for a second with that screw underneath! 👌
You did explained it better than the instruction manual, who's gonna read all that anyway. Thanks a lot.
A nice block a wood when needed , the jack is unstoppable
This saved me a lot of trouble. Thanks for making this video 🎉
A good and thorough review/demonstration. Hope it's serving you well.
It is!
Love this guy ! Could talk with him all day and Crack a cold one 🙏🏻
Thanks. 😁👍
Thank you for your video. I did not realize I was putting handle in backwards. Agree with you that Instruction manual was poor.
Your video was spot on. Just picked one up today for a whopping $109.00 😂. The instructions are terrible that come with the unit. I should know because I write aviation mechanical tech data. Awesome thing you did.
Thank you. Got a brand new one. Didn’t know you had to remove that little black piece above the hydraulic pump. Tried to jack it and it broke. So that’s cool
Your video was the shortest and the best.I just got this jack and the instructions are crappy.Thanks for this video.
Yep, i agree. There was NO instruction on that black piece. I had to unscrew 2 screws to get it out, but while trying to be as careful as i could in case something flys at me. While using both hands to pull the black piece off, the handle lunged straight at me and hit my head HARD, like so hard that i thought my head cracked. I think Harbor freight or Pittsburg should be accountable for my injury!
Thank you sir for this video. Harbor freight has a deal today $120 for this jack & being I have a camaro on 24inch rims & avalanche on 26inch rims I think based on your video I can use this jack to do my oil changes & rotate tires in my garage. My 2 ton just isn't doing it nomore, but having both will definitely work after watching this. Thanks sir.
Glad I could help Hey have you looked at jerky subscriptions? I just subscribed to one that sends different jerky from all over the USA to try. Click this link to check it out. bit.ly/3p8XCZk
Thank You for your comment and for watching
Thank you man this my first time get this your a UA-cam dad💪🏾
Thank you so much for the video! Short, sweet and concise, can’t ask for more than that! Thank you again!
My issue was the release. Glad you made the video
Thanks for the fast and simple video
Your welcome. 😁👍
Bought exact same one/color yesterday for $99 at HF. It was on sale.
Thanks for the video!
Great video, gunna be buying one soon for my car.
Thank you for the help sir!
Picked one up today for Black Friday for $94.99
Same
Good luck with this HB brand my man, I got one myself 5 years ago I use it in a regular basis to do oil changes and lots of other repairs on my vehicles, I recently spotted some oil on the floor where I store it and found out that it's leaking from the twin Pistons or from the so call the Ram or the bottle Jack now I have to figure out how to fix it, I'm kinda of disappointed about this HB Pittsburgh Brand because it failed me in such short time. 😡
@@chalyfalcon24 at $2 a month I hope mine last 5 years at least lol
Just bought the same one today here in Detroit. It was $149.99....
Thanks for the instructions !!
Yeah but did you use the $20 coupon?
@@JonathanGrandt I did!!! It went to $129.99
👍😉
thanks for this video!! Got one today Harbor Freight. Instructions DO suk but you helped.
You said “ turn it to the right after you fill the fluid and put the screw back on” I watched 10 videos before I got that piece of information and this was the last video I swore I was watching before I returned this thing thinking it did not work, thanks, no idea why it did not come filled with fluid
Your video is Awesome!! Thanks for a great Work!
Got one like this last Christmas and I'm really glad I did. Best floor jack for the money.
thank you for this video i just got this jack and im about to do my brakes and i wasnt too sure if i should put some oil in it or not thats why i watched this
I had someone comment and say they had to add some hydraulic oil in their new jack. That’s the bad thing about harbor freight. Their quality control sucks. 👍😁
@@VansWorld Its not quality control its the customer. At 54 seconds You ripped the sticker off the jack and didnt read it. It CLEARLY said IMPORTANT!!!! Remove oil plug and top off hydraulic oil and quickly pump handle several times and recheck the level and if correct replace oil plug. Just saying
You got the same 3/8 impact i got. Love that little guy.
Thankyou Van bro that help me out, I was struggling and getting frustrated with it
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment. Have a good one 😁👍
That square piece of paper you tore off the jack @ 0.52 seconds says; "IMPORTANT! You must check the hydraulic oil level BEFORE using the jack!" (or words to that effect). Otherwise GREAT video! Thank you!
Thanks for this video. I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. You helped me alot.
No problem at all. Glad it was what you were looking for. 👍😁
Hey, thank you so much for this awesome video it was exactly what I needed to get my jack out of the box and working! You’re awesome!
Perfect video!!! Short and clear! Thank you!!!
Thank you for the help, sir.
Lifted grand Cherokee with lockers.
It works great . I think most bang for the buck .
Great presentation, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just got one, great jack.
I think so too. Haven’t used it much but that’s a good thing , right lol.
Thanks for the tutorial.
You're welcome!
Thanks for demo.
Great video! I purchased the standard sized one yesterday. However now that you showed that the low profile jack can get high enough to lift a truck, im going to go ahead and swap the regular sized one for the low profile one.
@Max Rodriguez I ended up getting the low profile jack many months ago. I love it!!!
Bought one of these last year used it 5 times max lifting a 1/2 ton truck and a small car for oil changes and it be piston started getting stuck and never worked right since and of course it was after the warranty was up, anybody that buys this jack make sure to buy a extended warranty with it and be careful because piston will stick and almost kill you slamming what your lifting on ground before you can get jack stands under it, maybe I just got 2 bad ones but hard to believe 2 from different stores did almost same exact thing..
Thank you brother, I had the handle upside down, plus what you said the manual doesn't mention anything about that black plastic piece between the handle and the actual jack. Which you need to remove it before operation. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the quick video - appreciate it!
No problem. I appreciate you 👍😁
Thanks for your video. I just got one today, and I wanted to make sure I understood everything the same way as someone else.
Thanks for making this video. Also found the manual not intuitive. First time doing all the fluid change :)
Just what I needed. You’re the best man, thank you.
Didn't know there was set screw. Appreciate it.
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
Thanks for the review and instructions, it really helps
I was on the fence. Thanks for the info.
I agree the instructions suck! I’m glad I found your video!
Nice video! grabbed the exact one recently for $108 and didn't notice the bottom screw so that the handle cannot be tightened. almost return it before I saw this video🤣🤣🤣
I just bought one 109.99 harbor freight. Slate grey 👍 120 after tax though...
