I picked up two sets of the 6 ton jack stands and I am very happy with them. I used them on my 21 tundra crew max for tire rotation and left the whole truck sitting on the four jack stands while I swapped the tires around. They feel very sturdy and secure. No regrets on my purchase. I also got mine in blue and liked the color. The height on the 6 ton set is perfect for a 4wd truck.
Great review! I replaced my sears jack Stands which I didn’t feel safe so I bought the 6 Ton US Jack Stands. They definitely a lot safer than my old jack stands.
Nice review! I wish there was a comparison between the "old" Harbor Freight stands and the new ones. This would show people what NOT to buy and the reason they were recalled.
After watching your other jack stand videos, I turned in my old HF stands and went with a full set of 4 of the pro-lift stands, but I like the improvements HF made, and I would consider getting a set if I ever need more. I'm really glad I got rid of those HF stands btw because I had a little incident involving a sloped driveway a while back. My pro-lift stands tipped a little, but the pins held. Maybe if I still had the HF stands, they would have collapsed.
Excellent review -- not "fanboy" stuff, but not "haters gonna hate" either. Love to see fair reviews, for HFT or anyone. You pointed out that your favorite was more expensive than the Daytona, but what about the others on your table there? Where did the Daytona land in the quality/cost continuum? Better than x, and still less expensive? Better than y, but not enough to justify that it's MORE expensive? Not as good as z, but still more expensive? Etc. I'd like to know more about that. Thanks again for the great video.
Really liked your review of the Daytona 3 ton stands. I have a pair and used them twice on my accord which is 3200lbs. I always get nervous underneath a car. Try to get the job done quick.
Thanks for the video. These look pretty good. Thanks to your videos and some research I ended up getting the US jack stands. I really like the design and quality. I would highly recommend them. We have to remember that our lives could be at stake so no point trying to save a buck in this department.
The ESCO stands are ok, if you get a quality pair. I’ve went through like 6 different pairs, and couldn’t piece one pair without some major quality issues with one or both stands. Issues I had are: - Welds: some were either blown out, too cold (raised beads, with undercut edges, which is improper fusion or at too low a temp for the bead size), or had porosity issues. - Saddles: some were welded on crooked (not level), others had major rust issues on the inside hole and around the weld (also looked like they were welded while rusty). Rubber saddle inserts wouldn’t seat all the way and would rock on top of the saddle. - Pin Holes: misaligned holes in relation to the rest of the stand, positioning the saddle in such a way that the stand feet would be awkwardly aligned with the car chassis (when supporting weight) and could be rocked/pushed over. - Round Feet: were not aligned symmetrically on every side/foot of the stand, some at an awkward angle. - Support Bars: were of different lengths on some sides, some too short and wouldn’t reach the other leg, so they tried to fill weld the difference (and not well). Those are most of the major issues. I had others, that were more cosmetic, and packing related. I really recommend US Jack - Jack stands, they’re made in the USA, and are built like tanks. Their QC and customer service is great too.
That’s cool. The design isn’t bad, as long as quality control is on point. Maybe I kept buying from the same bad production run, though it was over a period of about 2-3 months due to returns/exchanges. I bought all sets through Amazon. The packing is not great, so they’re easy to bang up during shipping. I really recommend you take a look at and review the US Jack - Jack Stands. You won’t be disappointed. They’re a ratcheting style, but a different design from all the usual types out there. Their body/legs are also a different design. They’re really built like tanks, and have really high quality powder coating. They use a double pawl ratcheting system, and it’s set up in a way that once any weight is loaded on the saddle, you physically can’t release the pawls until the weight is removed. The saddles are also really nice, and different from the usual U/V notch design.
I use these Daytona stands for my f350 and they work well, but are a bit short at times. I see they have a 6 ton now and I’ll probably pick those up as well.
Nice review and to the point… question is there a pinch weld attachment that I can use with the harbor freight jack stands to mitigate the pressure on that one spot? Thx….
Thanks for the video. You mentioned the surface of the post is narrower than the other ones. Could you tell me the actual measurement? Is it like 25mm?
You compared the new Daytona with the Pro-Lift in the "Unboxing" chapter, but didn't use the Pro-Lift for comparison in the "Posts", "Height", or "Conclusion" chapters. Was there a reason for that, or did you just forget? I'm curious because I was planning on getting the Pro-Lift jack stands on Amazon, but now I'm thinking of going to Harbor Freight to get the new Daytona jack stands instead now that I know about them.
I dropped the anvil part of this to concrete from waist height. It is my first jack stand, I know climber friends throw away their carabiners once they drop them due to internal cracks. Should I be worried about the same and look for a replacement part or is it fine?
These are great, and are way better than the original Pittsburgh's I had and also better than Northern Tool's Strongway as well. I'm glad I only bought 1 set of strongways instead of 2(not by choice at the time, they were out). My only regret now is not getting another set of Daytona's when they had the ICT deal for 29.99. At the moment they have a super coupon for 34.99 but know they will have them marked down to 29.99 again for ICT members but who knows when that will. They are 44.99 reg price. Highly recommend joining the ICT deal as well, 29.99 a year or 44.99 for 2 years. Mine paid for itself on the first purchase I made with it.
I just returned my recalled 3 ton stands from Harbor Freight & exchanged them for the newly designed black 3 ton stands. For my purposes they'll do just fine.
Glad they fixed this issue, and surprised they went above and beyond. But.... Buy Yescos, you will literally only buy once in your lifetime, so is a little saving worth your life.
just picked up a set stands from harbor freight 3 ton ones. biggest gripe is locking pin pain to incert. I had too file holes little to get to slide in easier.Pluss the jack rachet bars. .think too much Powdwer coating issue.. Still little issue with safety pin aligning up to other side. have to jiggle rachet stand part to seat right.. lubed up pins and rachet stands with some silicone grease. When putting pin threw opposite side of stands.. seems to be more a pain..Figuring with time and wears in from use ,Should get better in time I hope.
I like the new stands!!! I took back the grey stands and got the red ones. Then the red ones were recalled! I looked at the tooth engagement and the weld quality on the red ones and decided I AIN'T TAKING THEM BACK!!!! I can judge the quality of tooth engagement and weld quality as well as anyone else (other than ASME and they only test samples, not 100%. The average Joe is the real tester, and when Joe gets crushed, no matter how good the ASME rating is, the stands will get recalled!!! Joe's wife has to live with the red stains on the pinch weld.) so I will not be paying $40 to replace my really good quality $18 red stands! My wife will not be adversely affected by stained pinch welds. She will proudly display them as a tribute to her cheep, stupid husband!!! Thank you for your really good tool reviews!!!
I had a budget for jackstands but found out that proper jackstands cost more than I had budgeted for... ended up buying the sunex 3 ton aluminum jackstands.
Anyone who owns the common "A-frame" style jack stands (I do), would be smart to weld on steel straps like Harbor Freight calls their reinforced base he shows at 0:37, if you or a friend can weld. Those vertical welds above the open legs have been called "zipper welds." You can imagine why. Tie the legs together with welded on strap steel and your A-frame stands will be a lot safer. Those open legs are a weak point in that style of stand.
You should have showed the bottom. There should be plates welded to distribute the load, not straight angle iron that is much more apt to sink into tarmac or even a block of wood, especially if your load shifts, which is a common occurrence
They do have gussets welded into the feet, but they are about 1/2 inch up from the edge so they will sink in that far. I really like these stands, they held my car for a week and were very stable.
I actually found a set of old used harbor freight jack stands on the side of the road for free. I’ve been using them for 5yrs without any issue, and nothing beats free!
I've been using the pro lift stands 3 ton ,,,so far so good . i do need two more . from your review I'll have to check out the HF stands soon thanks for the video review
Just bought 2 pairs of the 3-ton Daytona jack stands: one from the area where they are normally stocked and one pair from the promotional stack-out at the front of the store. When I unpacked them I discovered one pair was less robust than the other. The saddles were narrower and the saddle finish was rough. The "Pads for 3-Ton Jack Stands" fit the beefier pair but were too large for the less robust pair. Both sets were labeled identically, but one pair was clearly inferior. I returned the one set and brought one of the more robust ones with me so I could show them the difference. We opened up another box from the promotional stack-out and it was also of the smaller dimensions. A bit worrisome.
@@burgerking220 The ones they have bolted down on the display area are probably the beefier ones. I'd at least open the box in the store and hold it next to the display for comparison.
Decent enough stands, much better than I expected! Actually pretty impressed with the welds. Though it's under epoxy. Wait, has anyone sliced a weld in half to see if it's weld and not fondant? I wouldn't put it past some of the lowest budget manufacturers.
I have been buying the old dangerous harbor freight jack stands for a few dollars at garage sales and taking them back for full refund. So far I got about 20 sets out of the wild.
I have a 2011 1500 series silverado 4x4 king cab 5.3 liter engine. If I need a 3ton jack stand does that mean buying a 6 ton jack stand that actual is 3 ton each stand or get a 3 ton jack stand that each actually is 1.5 ton each ?
I had the same thought, but the more I read reviews and looked at the Husky, the less comfortable I felt about a purchase. I just wish they also offered 6 ton stands at this time. After looking at other brands in the same price range including OTC, OEM Tools, and Husky, I will probably get the new HFT Daytona stands.
I feel that a lot of companies don't focus on that simply because the pinch welds are usually what's first to rust and rot away on a car, and no matter how you design a jack stand to accommodate it, it's going to crush and cave in the second the vehicle's weight is put onto the stand.
On my car I bought (Amazon) a "puck" out of aluminum that had a slot cut to clear the pinch weld and rest on the body. I have a pair for my stands. The pinch weld was not put there as a lift point - its an artifact of how the large sheet metal sections are joined together.
@@longshot7590 well…theres usually a sort of flat area at the inside edge of the punch weld where it’s called about as a lift point. It’s not really the punch weld that you lift but in theI flat area…the slot (like in the factory jack) allows the flat part of the jack to make co tact with the flat part at the punch weld.
Daytona looks fine but i dont even go into HF anymore. No more Coupons and that inside track crap forces you to buy whats on sale at that time NOT what you need at that time. The inside track prices arent a deal either. Its okay i can hold out longer than them.. If HF was hurting before then they're dying now most people i know hardly go there anymore
@@Kyle-fu6en mostly for the 20-25% off . The product exclusions list also just kept getting longer. They have also raised their prices 20-30% across the board as has everyone else though. No more free gifts and the list goes on. Hey ive spent thousands there over the years. If you happy going there minus all the "perks" all the power to ya 🙂
The problem with Harbor Freight is not the coupons, the problem is that they are increasing prices across the board and introducing "premium" brands as they phase out their old brands. For instance, they are killing off the Cen-Tec name and introducing other faux "premium" brands like Jupiter to replace it. You are basically getting the same product as before, just in a different color with a lofty 30-50% price increase.
@@cup_and_cone i agree with all of that and everything still has the crappy 90 day warranty. Hey if the want to up their game and sell Bauer and Hercules as premium products offer a premium warranty. If you buy HF extended warranty now the price approaches a real name brand. Im just pretty much done with HF. I have gotton some great things over the years but thats gonna happen anymore
people who put jacks/stands under the pinch welds shouldn't be allowed to work on vehicles........it's terrible (unless they use pinch weld purposed jacks/stands, which you know they don't)

@@ToolTeardowns Ahh that makes sense. Thanks for replying!
I highly recommend their Daytona 3 ton floor jacks. I bought mine years back when they first came out and still going strong.
👍🏻
Are the cast iron posts brittle in the HF/Daytona stands? Can they survive being dropped a few times.
I dropped the anvil part of this to concrete from waist height. It is my first jack stand, I know climber friends throw away their carabiners once they drop them due to internal cracks. Should I be worried about the same and look for a replacement part or is it fine?

I saw these in my local HF, then next trip they were missing...

I just want to know if HF scrapped the old stands or put them in the land fill.
Scrap steel never goes into a landfill
I actually found a set of old used harbor freight jack stands on the side of the road for free. I’ve been using them for 5yrs without any issue, and nothing beats free!
Okay, but a stack of bricks under the frame or suspension components for redundant safety if they don't have a locking pin.
Trusting your life to tossed jack stands on the road. What could go wrong?
Just returned my old ones, still waiting for the new one to be in stock.
I've been waiting and my local store finally got a few, so I was able to buy a set for this review.

Great review! Sold in the HF ones now… no need to spend more in this case.
The ESCO is my choice. My first pair were from K-Mart or Montgomery ward but I used them for years. Then I upgraded twice.
I definitely wood have the Daytona jack stands because they are great for the money and I trust the harbor freight Daytona jack stands
I wish they made a 6 ton version of these jack stands as these are more for sedans and smaller cars instead of larger SUV's and trucks.

Glad to see you back !!
Just picked them up today for $25 , kind of hard to beat that!!! / in the Daytona 3 ton low profile Jack was $130 8/15/2024
I bought the Esco full size and wish I woulda bought the smaller size. They are just too tall for modern, low profile cars.
Decent enough stands, much better than I expected! Actually pretty impressed with the welds. Though it's under epoxy. Wait, has anyone sliced a weld in half to see if it's weld and not fondant? I wouldn't put it past some of the lowest budget manufacturers.

I'd personally probably do 6 ton for that. Plus, they'll be taller, which might be helpful for a full-size truck.
@@ToolTeardowns thank u
We live in a Bizzaro world where a Harbor Freight jack stand looks a lot more safe than a Torin one.
TImes change my man.
Good vid. For safety, I'm going with the more solid stand, no matter what the price.
is the hazard fraught stands really thicker or did they use a thick paint?
Yes, leaves me wondering what is covered up by the thick looking paint/powder coat...
It's powder coat, not paint, which also makes the welds look nicer than they would with paint (it's thick and feathers hard edges).
The Husky stands at Home Depot are $24 and made in Vietnam!
I had the same thought, but the more I read reviews and looked at the Husky, the less comfortable I felt about a purchase. I just wish they also offered 6 ton stands at this time. After looking at other brands in the same price range including OTC, OEM Tools, and Husky, I will probably get the new HFT Daytona stands.
I got the HF Daytona stands. I have used them twice so far. So far so good. I'm looking forward to 6-ton stands.
I like harbor fright jack stands because they are my favorite jack stands to buy
Doh...I bought 2 boxes. I thought there was only 1 inside. 😖
I’m so tired of jack stands not being made to work with pinch welds. They should have a slit in the top like the jacks that come with cars.
I feel that a lot of companies don't focus on that simply because the pinch welds are usually what's first to rust and rot away on a car, and no matter how you design a jack stand to accommodate it, it's going to crush and cave in the second the vehicle's weight is put onto the stand.

Hey you should review the 1894 astro impact wrench
So how does the lever gear engage the teeth ? No one shows that.
It's HF so those aren't welds it's caulking they painted over.
🤣 Damn that's harsh.
Great review!
Great follow-up
Daytona 👍🏻I got me 2 pair of 12ton👍🏻
Harbor freight, is my pick.
Nice Job!!
Personally I would never buy a jack stand with a ratcheting mechanism. My 8 jack stands that I have all have a pin.
Yes! Finally another video man!

The problem with Harbor Freight is not the coupons, the problem is that they are increasing prices across the board and introducing "premium" brands as they phase out their old brands. For instance, they are killing off the Cen-Tec name and introducing other faux "premium" brands like Jupiter to replace it. You are basically getting the same product as before, just in a different color with a lofty 30-50% price increase.
@@cup_and_cone i agree with all of that and everything still has the crappy 90 day warranty. Hey if the want to up their game and sell Bauer and Hercules as premium products offer a premium warranty. If you buy HF extended warranty now the price approaches a real name brand.
Im just pretty much done with HF. I have gotton some great things over the years but thats gonna happen anymore
people who put jacks/stands under the pinch welds shouldn't be allowed to work on vehicles........it's terrible (unless they use pinch weld purposed jacks/stands, which you know they don't)
