Not gonna lie i just DIY. So I bought the Daytona floor jack,the same one in the video, before I watched this video. Only because Im 22 and I plan on dying with said floor jack. And it does weigh as much as a hippopotamus. It takes me about 10min to get it up my apartment stairs because I have to take a break every 1 or 2 steps lol.
Great video, thanks for the great review. I bought the 3 ton pittsburg for 117.00 out the door with tax. Had to return because had a defect where I couldnt lower the car easily, the handle would stick and once it budged having to use chanel locks to turn the handle and it would just drop the car. There was no in between. So I took it back to harbor freight today and ended up using the "store credit"🤗 towards that green one with the pedal on it for $199.00 plus tax. I'm a older guy with occasionally back issues so it justified the part with the pedal for convenience as well as it being quite sturdy and for its size also very easy to maneuver around in the garage. Its pricey but I think I made a good choice /investment and yes, the Pittsburgh 3 ton weighed 70lbs and the green daytona weighs 100lbs!! I think it would definitely mess up your back. I slid it off the shelf onto the shopping cart, then slid it from the shopping car onto the bed of my pickup, and then slid from the pickup to the garage floor where it will remain for the rest of my life because I'll never try to pick that thing up haha All in all I appreciate your review
Thanks to explain I buy a Daytona low profile and that thing is very heavy and I feel safe but it was very helpful for people like me who are starting to be a mechanic
I also like Arcan jacks. My favorite HF Daytona jack is the long reach model that includes the foot pedal which can prove very helpful in tighter areas as you illustrated that is a really nice jack and now in more colors, great for higher ground clearance vehicles. Your vids are very good 👍🏽
I have that three ton low profile harbor freight jack and it's a great jack. I would recommend it and would buy again. After seeing this I probably will buy that 1.5 ton
FYI 2-ton trolley Jacks that cost $30 go higher than that Harbor Freight aluminum racing Jack for $100 just my two cents and I heard you say that you can retire a jack why I still use my grandfather's from 1960s my dad's from the mid 70s as long as the seals are perfect they'll jack up no problem I've got new ones but the old ones they don't ever let me down especially in the barns doing tractors
I have a 2019 honda accord 1.5 t .and i want to do oil change of my own coz dealership and other place takes $80 every 3 months you know kinda fed up. So which one u think i should get the Pittsburgh 3 ton or the Daytona 3 ton?
My own experience with Torin. I ordered a seal kit for my Torin Big Red floor jack, talking to their rep Daniel in Ontario CA on 10/23/20. Placed order, paid, & that's the last I ever heard. A phone robot answers, but can accomplish nothing. No human ever picks up or returns call messages. Don't waste your money!

Get someone to help lift it. Back injuries tend to last a lifetime. I strap it to a dolly when I have to move my craftsman 3 ton jack.

Had a Pitts leaked around rubber plug... Returned for super duty daytona... Has screw for fill plug too. Don't have to be professional to buy it... Ha

I still have a Craftsman jack which I purchased many years ago and it is still looking great and ready to be used again.
Great no BS video!
Great advice about Jack stability at angles!

Thanks for the help. Need new one.
You've gotten one of the best videos.
Your presentation style is excellent

What jack stands do you use?
