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.
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.

@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.
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?
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 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.
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.
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!
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!!
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.
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!
You should have gotten the Daytona 3-ton, low-profile & extended reach for $25 more. It has the foot pump to quickly set the saddle on the frame rail, plus it gives you an added 4-inches of lift.
If you are going to be lifting heavier duty trucks with it I'd get the 4 ton. For most people however, the 3 ton low profile long reach is the best option. Has the foot pedal for when you don't want to pump it by hand 24/7 and can reach good jacking points easier than the regular one, especially if your pinch welds are rotted away and you can't use them.
When you're in a tight spot I've come to find that it's actually safer to have a few pieces of wood that are large enough to put underneath the jack rather than on the jack itself. This is definitely far more stable but can still be a bit hairy
Great review! I've been debating which one to get for a few weeks now. I recommend checking the hydraulic fluid level and then bleeding the hydraulics to get the air out of the system. You'll most likely get a more lift travel with each pump. Air is compressible and no good for hydro systems.
Thanks for the videos. I was leaning towards the low profile long reach one until I saw this. For the time being I'm using the Pittsburgh low profile heavy duty. Works well. 2 and 7/8th to about 19 inches. Only paid 79 dollars with coupon last year
Great video, I have the long reach low profile and is great when you have to support rear differential, engine and trannny when changing motor mounts and need that extra reach under the vehicle, instead of crawling underneath the truck to find the jack.
Good topic and video. I'm considering the 3ton lowest profile with the long reach, and foot pump feature. These never go on sale, however... I am also now considering the one you got! 4 tons is no joke! Thank you Justin! 👍
Best one is the long reach jack that was 199 in the vid with the footpedal. Has a long reach and max height of 24 inches. Harbor freight had it on sale for 179.99 plus there was a 20$ off coupon .
I 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!
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
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.
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!
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.
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 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
Nice jack! I picked up the low profile 3 ton model with the 20" lift a little bit ago and freakin love the thing. I used to have to do the 2X4 on my trolley jack like you talked about to get my big ol Durango off the ground. The Daytona lifts it higher than I even need to go with ease. I don't know why anybody would be disappointed with these jacks.
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.....!
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.
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.
Which one would you recommend for a DIYer doing routine maintenance like rotating the tires and oil changes? I am still bummed you're not a neighbor😍😀 Thanks Justin once again for sharing your thoughts and videos, Rodney
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.
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.
Like the enthousiasm and recognize the efforts. Question: Why not buy the "Racing" [aluminum] version? 3ton seems to be close to the same $ as the 4T steel version and 40 pounds lighter. I would think anyone with anything less than a 1ton could go with the 3 or 2.5 easily.
My Craftsman 2T floor jack I got back in ‘96 finally broke. I had to get a new one so I got the green NASCAR 3T jack. I hope it’s good. The Craftsman one was great for my Ford Taurus back when I bought it but not high enough for my 2 classic Mercedes or the Nissan Frontier. I’m hoping the green one will lift high enough.
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 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😜
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.
the yellow 3 ton is a best jack rated by project farm the larger wheels make jack work much better. also has grease fittings on wheels and all the pivot points
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...
Thanks for the video Justin....I'm thinking about getting that 4 ton myself.... what do you (or any of your viewers) think about the HF Aluminum jacks? .... I also need a jack for transporting in my truck.
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!
Did you add hydraulic fluid? if not, the reservoir is probably mostly empty making the rapid pumping not as effective as it should be. It was clear that your pumping action range was very limited.
I'm trying to find a jack that's efficient for me also. I have an 02 Trailblazer which I'm going to do a brake job on in the springtime. Years ago I had a jack where if you pump it up one time and it shot up until it hits something solid than jack it up as usual. I think it was called daytona racing jack. I found it at Sam's club. I would love to find something like the ease of that one.
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.
@@SOLDOZER Should someone read it for you.....If you cant figure out that a person who owns the yellow daytona , who also owns a auto shop. posted a vid about the yellow daytona DJ3000...Sound like you're an angry person , might wanna listen to barry manilow instead of James Hetfield's , Lars and Kirks angry lyrics.....Your probably Dave Mustaine , Pissed off that you quit and went to Megadeath...
Justin since you have a relationship with harbor freight maybe you can answer this question. Is it true that the yellow 3 ton Daytona Jack is built to a higher standard than the rest of the Daytona Jack’s??? I’m sure everyone would like to know and It can guide our purchases better.
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
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.

It would be difficult to give up the 3-year warranty with the original jack.
Lawsuit was dropped when it was found that the Chinese manufacturer made both jacks in the same factory! Chevy or GMC -- it's the same. Go figure.
@@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?
Why does Prolly prefer the low profile one.? I think I have the low profile model ("yellow").
But will it roll over a zip tie🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

No. I have one of these and it will not roll over a zip tie

This might be good for my Vette. Weight lift for me is not as important as long reach and low clearance.🤔

We already know about the wood thing. Just don't crawl underneath anything unless you have at least two methods of support.

There's a recall on jack stand of harbor frieght. And I would like to say dont forget to put hydrolic fluid in floor jack.
The yellow jack is the best one they sell. It has greasable front wheels and 3 or 4 other grease fittings.

I ended getting the long reach for 199 could not use coupons, looks like a good jack, but you need a jack to lift this jack up, real heavy
I just wrestled with one today. Got it into my car but it wasn't easy with a rolling shopping cart
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.

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.
I think it has a proper warranty as well not just the Hf 90 days
I bought that low profile jack a few months ago and it for surely has some weight to it
I have the exact same Jack. Wish it had a little bigger wheels as it gets caught up on everything and won’t roll. Love mine
Just bought mine. It works great
Good job..Daytona the best looking jack..looks solid
I just bought a 1.5 ton pittsburgh, I hope it holds up better than the jack stands lol

Like the enthousiasm and recognize the efforts. Question: Why not buy the "Racing" [aluminum] version? 3ton seems to be close to the same $ as the 4T steel version and 40 pounds lighter. I would think anyone with anything less than a 1ton could go with the 3 or 2.5 easily.
I just picked up the 3 ton super duty, I saw they manufacture it in the same facility as the snap on one
My Craftsman 2T floor jack I got back in ‘96 finally broke. I had to get a new one so I got the green NASCAR 3T jack. I hope it’s good. The Craftsman one was great for my Ford Taurus back when I bought it but not high enough for my 2 classic Mercedes or the Nissan Frontier. I’m hoping the green one will lift high enough.
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 love the video
Great video thanks
Beautiful jacks that I wouldn't even want to put them to work cause they'll get scratched.
I like this guy humor.
I got the Standard low profile 3ton, and its very loud rolling it around in my quiet neighborhood
Just got a super duty 3ton ... Came with 3yr warranty
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😜
The lack of grease fittings was a deal breaker. Had to go the model up
The 4 ton does have grease fittings.
I feel awkward when there’s no cheers to the beers 🍻 💥😆😆😆😆💥 just admit you wanted the green to match your box 📦
Gmguy3car lol
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.
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.
the yellow 3 ton is a best jack rated by project farm the larger wheels make jack work much better. also has grease fittings on wheels and all the pivot points
I went with the 3 ton low profile. It works great on my k1500, older impala and my Avalon Touring.
I've wanted that one for a while
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
I like the jack
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...
Pittsburgh 3 ton low profile / rapid pump for me. Got it on liquidation for 95.00. It’s just as good
Scandel~ the Warrior playing in the background.
Shootin down the halls of harborfreight- bang bang
I'll buy Day-ton-a
Nice jack i wanted one off those
Thank u just got mine today
Good video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers!
Thanks for the video Justin....I'm thinking about getting that 4 ton myself.... what do you (or any of your viewers) think about the HF Aluminum jacks? .... I also need a jack for transporting in my truck.
How come you didn't compare it to the 3 ton professional jack that harbor freight compared to snap on jack?
Just got a $20 emailed coupon off any Daytona Jack from HB good until 9/29/19. Thanks for the video!!

I got the 3 ton for my Camaro SS, things great.....
good to know , Thanks for sharing!
thank you man good video
Not rapid pump rapid pump goes all the way up in three or four pumps
Did you add hydraulic fluid? if not, the reservoir is probably mostly empty making the rapid pumping not as effective as it should be. It was clear that your pumping action range was very limited.
I'm trying to find a jack that's efficient for me also. I have an 02 Trailblazer which I'm going to do a brake job on in the springtime. Years ago I had a jack where if you pump it up one time and it shot up until it hits something solid than jack it up as usual. I think it was called daytona racing jack. I found it at Sam's club. I would love to find something like the ease of that one.
3 ton vs 4 ton I’ll take the extra 2000 lbs never know when you are gonna need it !
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.
@@lane4574 Can you say that again, but in English?
@@SOLDOZER Should someone read it for you.....If you cant figure out that a person who owns the yellow daytona , who also owns a auto shop. posted a vid about the yellow daytona DJ3000...Sound like you're an angry person , might wanna listen to barry manilow instead of James Hetfield's , Lars and Kirks angry lyrics.....Your probably Dave Mustaine , Pissed off that you quit and went to Megadeath...
@@lane4574 that one is a 3 ton right?
@@lane4574 😆😆
Justin since you have a relationship with harbor freight maybe you can answer this question. Is it true that the yellow 3 ton Daytona Jack is built to a higher standard than the rest of the Daytona Jack’s??? I’m sure everyone would like to know and It can guide our purchases better.
