I bought the Daytona at my Harbor Freight's recent parking lot sale for 139.99 to life my crew cab 4x4 chevy silverado and I like it. It lifts is without a problem. Would recommend!
I jacked up a small tractor with a Pittsburgh 3ton. I got busy with something else and left it jacked up without blocks over the weekend. It held up and didn’t slack off but it didn’t work after that. It was fixable, but just an FYI
Update: exactly yesterday the jack blew a seal and started leaking. It lasted exactly 10 years so I'm satisfied. Bought the orange Daytona long reach yesterday and I love it. It does drop fast though so you have to have some finesse to make it drop slowly but it's fantastic nonetheless
Just got the Daytona and i love it. My HONDA FIT is a very hard car to get the jack under but once the Daytona starts to lift its game over. Put my HONDA FIT sky high in the air. Its also a very smooth lifting jack.
Thanks! Very informative. I just bought this same Husky jack today at Home Depot for $129, down from $189 it's retailing for these days. It's a 4th of July sale. Watching your quality affirming video here makes me happy I bought it. It's not available at Amazon from the link you have above and I think they no longer carry Husky jacks.
Went with the Husky on a 2024 Black Friday deal for $109 with veterans discount. They allowed both discounts, which surprised the heck out of me. Thanks Home Depot!
One of the other diference is the warranty, The Pittsburg comes with 90 days warranty vs the Husky's 1yr limited warranty, since they are same product as mavy have mentioned, I just picked up the Pittsburgs and added a 2yr warranty.
Excellent Video! I've been looking for another Pittsburgh brand version of the 3-ton low profile. I have one now (7 years and going) and I wanted to buy another for a gift. HF doesn't sell them anymore. Glad to find your video and the Husky jack! !-yr warranty instead of HF 90-day seals the deal for me. Thanks!
My experience, in the past, has been that Home Depot takes a name-brand product re-builds it to their specifications and then puts the name-brand on it to sell it at a cheaper price.
I have the newer version of the Pittsburgh 3 ton floor jack with rapid pump function,I have the red one apparently it was last year model when I bought it for $89 super coupon 2 years ago. Mine is not the low profile.
I just got the 3 ton Pittsburgh rapid pump for $107 out the door price. I wanted the Datona for $129 but they didn't have any at the HF i went to. Either way im happy! Ive been using a Duralast 1.5 ton for the last 4 years and it doesn't allow me to lift the back end of my f150 up to do the brakes in the rear. This new 3 ton Pittsburgh i know will lift my pickup truck with no problems. I cant aait to use it this weekend!
This is a great video. I was looking at the husky jack stands because I feel that Husky better quality and I happen to come across the jacks as well as this video. Thanks for the great information.
Haha so do I. It was one of those kits that had the jack,stands and seat. They still work but they suck. My Pittsburg jack made it 2 years and started having problems.
husky shat the bed when i bought my first jack from them. right out of the box the thing would not pump, at first i thought it was just me doing something wrong such as not locking it in right or maybe there was a setup process before i can use it. nope, when i started looking up the potential problems (low fluid/ air in the system) none were the issue and so i just gave up on it and refunded. bought a pittsburgh jack and everything worked as it should straight out the box without me doing anything extra.
@@dankestvonmemen76288 did you twist the handle all the way clockwise? When they’re shipped they’re done so with the pressure valve open so you need to insert the handle and close the valve by turning the handle clockwise until it stops then you will be able to use it.
Thanks for the info as I am looking at this jack and the lesser cost 3 ton Daytona but it only has 90 day warranty. The other difference is the wheel/caster attachment. The Super duty has bolts that hold the wheels on whereas the other jack has retainer clips.
The reason Husky and Pittsburgh can lift higher is that they have slightly longer lift arm with the same frame size than this Daytona you are reviewing. Look at the empty space in between front wheel axle and first pivot axle on lift arm in front of Saddle. These medium low profile floor jacks have got many names and Brands both in north America and Europe. Shinnfu of America is behind the production, custom brands for a lot of retailers cross the Globe.
I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t change out the pin holding the handle together and put a solid pin with a cotter pin retainer in place of that so you don’t have to worry about stripping it will last lifetime
Also in 2024, the Pittsburgh 3 ton in the new painted gray that looks identical to the gray Daytona is only $89 but the low pro Pittsburgh 3 ton gray is $109
Guys like me with a super low Static car, has to have a really good low profile Jack that's reliable with a few pumps. Most Low profile Jacks won't fit underneath my car, so I have to drive up on RV blocks.
What's a good heavy duty floor jack for trucks? I tried to take off my tire from my chevy tahoe with a smaller jack few days ago & had alot of trouble picking up my truck.. I def need a big heavy duty floor jack what's a good one to have or u recommend?
I have had my candy apple red jack from HF, and it's been one of the best jacks I've ever owned. My only complaint is that I have a lowered vette, and it can barely fit under in the front to lift. I really want the long reach low profile, and right now, today (7/24/24), they are on sale for 200. I haven't made up my mind if I want to go spend the money to get it, but it would def help me reach where I need to reach. Plus, that jack has a pump on the back that I can use with my foot.
How bad is it if it’s leaking? I finally pulled mine out for a much needed oil change and there was a single drop of (hydrologic?) fluid on the ground where I kept it. I still used it and it felt off, so I’m like paranoid now…
The one Jack I had, dropped like a cup of fluid over a couple day Period and then wouldn’t go up very well I wouldn’t wanna test what it could’ve held. The other one slowly got weaker and weaker and just had a constant oil film on the bottom of it. If you refill it and it holds, there’s nothing wrong with that. You should be using a jack stand either way, so worst case scenario it just doesn’t work right.
I have a hunch the husky has limited life time warranty, brought many tools and machines from junk yards to homedepot and they just give me the tool for free, its like sears and craftsman back then 😅
Husky warranty really is great, these do specifically say 1 year warranty buy yea depending on the employee working I could see them swapping it out. They don't seem to ask for receipts, though I've only ever brought in some hand tools, if it says husky they'll swap it. I do love Lowes but they could learn a thing from Home Depot about how to handle a lifetime warranty.
Helpful review. I recently purchased the Pittsburgh low-profile with rapid pump. Debated about going with the Daytona low-profile with rapid pump; still debating, while I'm within the return period. Prior to seeing your video, the key decision for me: was that the Daytona cost an additional $40 (at least the day of my purchase) and weighed 9 lbs more (9 lbs I don't want). I really like the action (especially the release action) on the Pittsburgh. The one thing I'm not excited about on the Pittsburgh, is the rubber nipple plug for the hydraulic jack fluid; would much rather have a screw. I'm assuming the Daytona's fill cap is a screw; have not confirmed that though.
I brought the Daytona long reach jack. I caught it of sale for 190 plus $30 for a extra 2 year warranty. Not sure husky let's you by a extended warranty
They last well beyond the 2 year warranty in our experiences. So, I never bother with that purchase . But you are correct, husky doesn't offer an extended warranty.
I have 1 just like it Daytona used it for my own personal used it since 2021 maybe 30 times it pumping up can't figure out what's wrong with it. I will never buy another one. I have run shops and bought several jacks over the years and never had 1 do this.
18 years is a solid lifespan. I thought we were doing will with 8-10 years. Honestly any of these jack will function very similarly and you’ll be happy with them.
If you can get the Daytona one within $20-30, there’s no harm. The Pittsburg is a great basic jack. That’s the one I’ll get from now on for the most part
They didn’t make a rebuild kit at the time and spending the time tearing down a jack (not knowing if I could even find the exact parts) running all over town for parts and the cost of the parts and then the reassembly.. it’s a lot of work to save $100
What is going on with this thread?😂 I’m not pitching the husky. The Pittsburgh and husky are the EXACT same jack. I said that in the video several times. I would have bought Pittsburgh, but they were sold out and most of their “sale” prices were kind of lame. I love the Daytona. The look and color choice, is so cool. But it just doesn’t have the clearance and the throw of the other style. The only reason why you hear me talking about the husky so much, is because I just bought it and was doing a new Daytona vs a new husky. I wasn’t sponsored. All this was paid for by my own money. I was being honest and objective. My final answer was, buy the jack that is most on sale between the husky and Pittsburgh, and if you just really want a Daytona, sometimes their sales put them within $10-20. Not biased. I could care less which one you buy. This is just my experience. And just fyi, after this video we bought two Pittsburgh jacks, so that we have 4 if needed.

lifted my friend's dually Ram 3500.... I didn't really think of the lift capacity at the time, but it held up.
Just got the Pittsburgh 3 ton low profile on sale for $95. Working great so far. If it lasts 10 years, I'll be a happy camper.
where?

I bought mines exactly 10 years ago and it's still working and in a shop. It's rusty and squeaks from time to time, but it works

Mine lasted 3 years then i couldnt find new seals for it. Ill go with a daytona next

Good price!
I’m bout to do this🙏🏽
I just got mine.
Just got mine for 120$ at home depot picked it up same day couldn’t be happier !!
Got one with military discount as well for 109
Just got the Pittsburgh 3 ton low profile jack for 79.99 during the 12 days of Christmas sale. What a deal couldn’t pass it up.
damn you! I went to three different stores that day and all sold out by 10am

Use your AMEX card (some) and double your warranty to two years!
Appreciate the super practical and concise comparison!
Glad it was helpful!
My experience, in the past, has been that Home Depot takes a name-brand product re-builds it to their specifications and then puts the name-brand on it to sell it at a cheaper price.
So they steal designs and make it cheaper and worse.

Scotty Kilmer uses the Daytona Jacks 👌
They are good. No complaints here!
I would have bought the Daytona Super duty it’s warranted for 3 years and it’s the only Daytona made in the same factory as Snap on.
That’s good information to know!
Thanks for the info as I am looking at this jack and the lesser cost 3 ton Daytona but it only has 90 day warranty. The other difference is the wheel/caster attachment. The Super duty has bolts that hold the wheels on whereas the other jack has retainer clips.
Snap on makes some of the worst floor jacks the industry has ever seen, just like their impact guns
Going to get the Daytona blue one now. Its on sale for 129. Or the Pittsburgh is 99. But my wife likes the blue Daytona
I just pick up the Dayton yesterday on sale good price and good jack
Yeah good sale this weekend! Hard to beat those prices for what the item is.
The Daytona feels like a better Jack but they both don’t offer any parts.
Great video. Very informative

Thanks for details, Which brand is recommended Pittsburg or Husky for Honda Accord 2014
Honestly. The one that is on the better sale, they are literally the same. Just a different paint job.
@@TenzaMotorsports Perfect. Thanks for response. I will buy Husky as I have good deal.
Yes that Husky jack is really good
I have been very happy with this one. Good solid starter jack
Guys like me with a super low Static car, has to have a really good low profile Jack that's reliable with a few pumps. Most Low profile Jacks won't fit underneath my car, so I have to drive up on RV blocks.

I just got the Pittsburgh low pro last week for 89.99 black friday
About how much do they each weigh?
Pittsburg and Huskey are going to weigh around 50ish and Daytona is maybe 5lbs more than the other two.
Is there a seal kit available for the Daytona? You could order a few and put somewhere safe, that jack may last a lifetime.
What do you do with the old jacks?
Tell them to hit the road and don't come back.
@@Marvin.45 LOL
Do you know where i can find replacement pump pistons for the husky ?

If it makes you feel better my 10 ton snap on jack has a rubber plug. I've had it for 20 years and it's been perfectly fine.
The Daytona does have a screw
I stumbled across this video today after ordering the Husky yesterday as HD gives me a military discount.
That’s a good deal sounds like

I was a Lexus RCF not sure what jack I should buy to do my oil change
Any of these will do great! They are good reliable tools.
The issue I’m having is that when I try to lift the car from the front is I still don’t have enough length to reach the jacking point.
I have hf 35 year old 3ton jack. I replaced the piston seal with a commercially made one. Just measure the u-cup seal and search for it.
are husky jacks maufactured in US?
Says un-rebuildable jacks are not safe
Says he might be giving away said jack
There are ways to fix them. It’s just not a preassembled official kit. I would find someone who would be aware of the repairs
What is a good jack to buy to keep in the car?
Aluminum 2 ton Dayton
I have a husky. 18 years now. Buy now the seals are leaking. Time for a new one. But what one ?
18 years is a solid lifespan. I thought we were doing will with 8-10 years. Honestly any of these jack will function very similarly and you’ll be happy with them.
I’m about to buy arcan all aluminum 3 ton runs for 269 comes in green got a 50$ Lowe’s gift card , I want something light .
Thank you kid!!! Wish I had a son like you man🤟✊
I appreciate it!
Love HF!
Same!
Pittsburg is on sale. Would you buy it again? I can’t decide on Daytona or Pittsburg 3 ton. Help lol
If you can get the Daytona one within $20-30, there’s no harm. The Pittsburg is a great basic jack. That’s the one I’ll get from now on for the most part
95 bucks says go for the Pittsburg
I’d like to know who the manufacturer is. It’s one I’d like to avoid honestly.
I want something I can actually get parts for.
If the husky and the Pittsburgh are the same jack? Couldn’t you just get a rebuild kit for the husky and rebuild the Pittsburgh jack? 🤔
Only one way to find out!
HF is one of my favorite stores 🎉
I agree! It's my first stop when looking for tools and supplies.
It stopped jacking up ment to say.
Wait. You work on race cars but can’t fix the Pittsburgh Jack, that seems like basic fixes
They didn’t make a rebuild kit at the time and spending the time tearing down a jack (not knowing if I could even find the exact parts) running all over town for parts and the cost of the parts and then the reassembly.. it’s a lot of work to save $100
Cool
Dude, use ur God given common sense man. Take the pistons out and replace the 50 cents rubber seals theres two of em.
