This jack was on Fab Rats recently. The standard jack wheels get stuck on the tiniest little thing on the garage floor. With this jack I won’t even have to clear a path through the beer cans to move it around😊
@@denoftools I assume that you're talking about a "normal height" shop stool. If not though, I use the Harbor Freight One Stop Gardens rolling work seat while doing brake jobs and similar, low to the ground work in my shop. I did replace the original 10" pneumatic tires with the flat free tires just in case I roll it over a screw or other sharp object on the floor. I'm not sure I'd trust the wheels on that jack to stand up to 3 tons. I'd have to see it in person to make sure that the hubs aren't plastic.
I just bought one of these 2 weeks ago. I LOVE it! I work exclusively on gravel and grass, and this thing is truly a game changer. Regular jacks were useless to me, as they wouldn't roll in the gravel, and would sink into the dirt when on grass. This thing EASILY traverses any terrain and is quite light. Well-built...even looks nice! Don't know how I lived without it. It saves me SO much time and effort. Best purchase I've made in DECADES!
Great job by your assistant. The air hose, zip tie, finger-push, and gravel travel sold it. I have a Husky 3-ton and I also have an OSB board (2' x 3')in the garage for this very task of allowing the wheels to roll freely when being jacked up on my work surface. My area is rural lands and this seems to fit the bill perfectly as long as I'm on decent flat-ish working area of dirt, gravel, grass. Thank you very much for overlooking this off-road jack.
If the off road jack is a sales success, I see one improvement that could be made to a 2nd gen model...Since the rear wheels don't swivel like a regular floor jack, they should come up with a way to lock the handle upright. That way, you'd be able to raise the front wheels off the ground which would allow you to pivot it into position much easier.
The push test sold me on this jack. When you don’t have to “put your back into it” while positioning it to the right spot under the car, that’s the game changer.
My house is in a cul-de-sac, and I work on my RAM 1500 CC or wife's car in the street. I have the older 3 ton low profile Pittsburgh Jack. The issue I have with that, is sometimes when jacking it up or letting it down, it won't roll with the jack and it popped off once. I got lucky. I'm looking at this jack, because I like the way it rolls and would probably roll nice and easy as it needs to while jacking up my truck in the street.
My "off road" jack is a 2 ton HF racing jack with a 2'x2'x1/4" steel plate I throw down under whatever I need to lift if isn't not on solid ground :D I'm really hoping HF put in some extra R&D into this because I'd have expected those wheels to be at least metal hubs to support the 3 tons it's rated at (I know it's dispersed between all four wheels, but that's still a lot of weight). Also leery of the higher center of gravity with those wheels, I'd think they should be spaced out further, even more so with that extender plate, could act like a lever on the jack and throw the balance off if you're not careful. Not saying it won't be ok, but those are my observations. I'd hate for this to turn into the jack stands all over again. I do like the on-board storage for the extension, though. Someone was actually thinking. I'll have to watch some more reviews, maybe ProjectFarm will do some kind of vid on it.
I have that long reach right in the same color too and honestly love it but that badland is soooo appealing. That extension. Guess it would be a perfect combo pair of jacks to have in the garage. I have the 1.5 aluminum jack to to sith the long reach but i keep rhat in the back of the van
Happy New Year! Love your videos. I just bought the Pro Eagle. The deciding factor for me was the optional mounting base. It's expensive but works well for my offroad rig.
I'm envious of your collection of portable power stations. I think I spotted an Oukitel of ffpower. I just picked that one up a couple of days ago, the same but different branding.
Well, Pro Eagle is out of business with this clone/copy. I've got the pro eagle Talon. But I'll be picking the Badland up for my Tundra. They're a great clone, and very well built.
That "freeish "Honda looks like a TRX 250. Them things last forever. My dad has one he bought new in 87. Still going. It's like the Energizer bunny. Haha.
The last thing needed is a jack that rolls easy when you're working on something. Makes it way to easy for something to slip away when getting a jack stand under it.
I just got one of those arcan Jack's for 150. It's the low profile high reach. It goes down to 2 3/4 Inches I. Believe all the way up to like 24 inches. Only thing is it's a 2 ton. But for my el camino it perfect. Just not a mobile jack. It's a behemoth!
0:05.. I lubricate and maintain my jacks they are 7 or 8 years old and I can push mine with one finger.. 3 ton low profile heavy duty jack from Pittsburgh..👍
I love this idea, but it will be so important to chock your vehicle’s wheels(like it should be) because of how it easy it rolls. But having said that, moving a car on wheel stands with this would be much easier to put the car in a corner.
Could that 25% off New Year coupon work on this jack? I don't see Badlands or Jacks on the no go list. On that note I had an issue using it on the Poulan Pro chainsaw. The cashier agreed it should apply but the system wasn't letting it apply, she followed this up with telling me she can only give 20% off same as the manager. Its still cheaper by $15 than the next cheapest I can find. Org price $219.99 20% off came to $44.00 off, Sale price $175.99, still a good deal here so I didn't throw a tantrum and bought it. Missing out on that last 5% which would come to about $5.50 isn't enough to make me get upset or not buy it as it was still a good deal.
Can’t wait for the review of the Long Reach Jack! I just bought with the 20% coupon of course a few days later HF gives out a 25% coupon. Thanks for all you & the family does making your videos!
Jeff - How would you recommend using the Harbor Freight New Year’s 25% off ‘anything in the store’ coupon? I’m sure there are lots of good choices, but what would be your top 10 (or 20)?
tbh i am looking for something to keep in the truck. I have the low profile jack and i am thinking of getting the badlands to keep in the back of the 4runner just for chaning tires. I have a 2.5 inch lift. Any recommendations?
Shut up and take my money! i have on a good day rock and dirt most days rock and mud or like now snow and ice to work on my rig on... I NEED one of these
Looks like someone should design a kit that converts existing floor jacks to a Big Wheel (no, not the toy) Jack. Or make a big wheeled carrier that other jacks fit into.
@@djsi38t Yes. There's always a trade off. I'd expect the use case for these are trucks, where min clearance is not an issue. People, like me, with Mini's still need the special low clearance jacks.
Harbor Freight Guy, are you listening? We need solutions to secure these in our vehicles, mounting solutions. I want to put one of these in my Toyota Sienna but it needs to be secure.

I need wheels like this on a shop stool!
I found on my Daytona quick pump jack when you want to lower it back down it's so tight I have to use a vice grip to turn it.

@@eddean6663 My Daytona long/low was like that at first too. I've had it about 2 years now and it's fine now but, I use it a lot.

In my experience, and I bet yours too, "free" is usually very expensive.

A swing hook would work
It already has that option on it

Great! I had decided to buy the 3 ton low profile extended reach and you had to go and review this one. Thanks for costing me more money 😂
I'm the proud owner of both these Jacks. Christmas came early.

Nice jack, shop will come along as time.permits. thank you for sharing, stay warm, safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
That's very nice jack to have. I have trucks parked in my back yard, it's a pain to pull the regular jack on dirt.
Without the handle, that thing looks like a 1/4 scale RC buggy. Now I really want one!
Hey Tool Bear Jeff Happy New Year. My 23 be fantastic! Shine on brother!
Hello again Jeff and Mrs. Bear 🐻
Thank you for another Great Video 👍
I'm envious of your collection of portable power stations. I think I spotted an Oukitel of ffpower. I just picked that one up a couple of days ago, the same but different branding.
Understandable with holidays and the move, but want to say I've really missed your videos the last week or so.
Good vid. A lot of potential in that shop. Thank you. Happy New Year.

Shop hose test…
You just sold me a jack!
happy new year Jeff! cheers!!
I wonder if the tires from the off-road jack will fit the low profile jack to make an off-road low profile hybrid jack
I hit up 5 different HF looking for that jack this week, none had them nor could they tell me when they would come back in stock.
I just got one of those arcan Jack's for 150. It's the low profile high reach. It goes down to 2 3/4 Inches I. Believe all the way up to like 24 inches. Only thing is it's a 2 ton. But for my el camino it perfect. Just not a mobile jack. It's a behemoth!
Been waiting for someone to put this jack to the test.
Man that looks like a jack sold by Ikea with all the assembly. Laughing aside I definitely could use this jack, my driveway is all rock.
Happy New Year Jeff!!
Thanks for the video! Harbor Freight!
I'm pretty sure that's going to be my next Big tool purchase
0:05.. I lubricate and maintain my jacks they are 7 or 8 years old and I can push mine with one finger.. 3 ton low profile heavy duty jack from Pittsburgh..👍
Happy New Year - good to see you in the new shop.
Jack looks great!! Is that a harbor freight bench vise? Doyle? Do you like it?
First review of a product in the new shop !!

I did a review of that Jack last summer
I’m gonna have to looking into getting one.. thanks
They need to design one with either the front or rear wheels that swivel. Other than that it looks nice.
That's because this is an offroad jack. If you use it as a shop jack that is the compromise.
Jeff - How would you recommend using the Harbor Freight New Year’s 25% off ‘anything in the store’ coupon? I’m sure there are lots of good choices, but what would be your top 10 (or 20)?
Question - how low profile is it? I have a normal car and I'd like to be able to not have the wheels be the low point.
Its not low profile at all,would not work for a car that sits really low.
6 1/4 minimum profile
This is a game changer!
Would the wheels of this jack be okay to use routinely on hard surfaces?
Should be since they are solid
Whos this guy!! I'm here for the Bear!
I think I'm getting one.
tbh i am looking for something to keep in the truck. I have the low profile jack and i am thinking of getting the badlands to keep in the back of the 4runner just for chaning tires. I have a 2.5 inch lift. Any recommendations?
The badlands is MUCH easier to take out and put back in. MUCH.
Does the manual tell you the weight Capacity of the front and rear wheels
Did you really just "bear" with us?
Hey Mr bear are the wheels plastic on them badland jack? It's hard for me to tell? I sure hope they aren't!
Yes a high composites
If it had the quick pump I'd be sold
The zip-tie test is what sells it. 😁
I could see using this jack and some 2x8s to get a truck out of the snow.
It's nice but there is a lot of cars it wont fit under,low profile is a necessity for a business.Den of Tools doesn't have a tape measure?
yea bought mine from eagle 3 yrs ago and it was expensive
I WANT ONE!!!!!!
Bear with us ?
Shut up and take my money! i have on a good day rock and dirt most days rock and mud or like now snow and ice to work on my rig on...
I NEED one of these
Looks like someone should design a kit that converts existing floor jacks to a Big Wheel (no, not the toy) Jack.
Or make a big wheeled carrier that other jacks fit into.
There are a few companies out there that sell kids like that.
@@denoftools First-born or adopted ? :)
As always every good idea has been thought of, already. How about tracks instead of wheels ? :)
You lose the low profile with big wheels.
@@djsi38t Yes. There's always a trade off. I'd expect the use case for these are trucks, where min clearance is not an issue.
People, like me, with Mini's still need the special low clearance jacks.
