Daytona floor jacks 40% off at HF
 

Today only, Sat. 9/28/24 with coupon. Sounds like a good deal, but are they safe and worth it? I realize they’re chineseum. I searched the forum but didn’t find any reviews. Will ck YouTube for reviews.

The Daytona jacks are the same as what Snap On sells off of their trucks, the difference is the stickers, and the price.....LOL

If you watch any amount of You Tube videos or Motor Trend shows. there are many shops that use Daytona jacks.

Although I personally own an Arcan jack from Costco, I wouldn't be afraid to buy a Daytona jack. Many shops I've been in, such as tire stores use HF jacks, so they are durable. Probably the hardest use/abuse a floor jack would get is in a tire store.

I believe Daytona is built in Taiwan, which typically builds much better equipment and tools than many Chinese plants do.

Project Farm tested 10 floor jacks; Daytona came out near the top. The Pittsburg, also sold by HF, wasn't at the top because of sloppy welds.

The top 3 overall in PF test were Arcan, Snap On, Daytona.

I bought one about a year ago, & use it regularly. So far so good, no problems.

The long reach low pro model is awesome.

I have 4 Daytona jacks at my shop... no issues..

I used to buy jacks from Napa. The last 2 I bought didn't last.

Harbor Freight is not the same as 10-15 years ago. They have typically 3+ lines of most tool groups. In the hydraulic jacks/equipment. Central Machinery is the cheap crap. Pittsburgh branded is a step up. The Daytona branded stuff is the premium HF brand. They are well built, heavy, nice wheels and axles. Every bit as good as Snap-On. My Snap-On 3 ton aluminum jack had a hydraulic failure a couple months after it's 1 year warranty expired. Had to replace the entire hydraulic unit, no individual parts sold. Almost $300.00 for the hydraulic unit. Torin Industries in China makes the Snap-on jacks. Nothing special, that's for sure. I just couldn't bring myself to throw out a big aluminum 3 ton jack. No more Snap-on electric or hydraulic tools for me. Hand tools, sometimes yes.

Can you link to the coupon? Not seeing it here locally on the HF app but my 40-yr old floor jack is tired and the youtube review linked below was quite positive.

My local tire shop for as long as I can remember, maybe this am. They have been buying HF jacks. Their Snap on Jack's were leaking and expensive to repair. Like John said use it if it leaks get another. So I have old 1 Hein Warner 1 1/2 ton that is good. I've bought,1 low profile HF jack for TA,one aluminum for race car trailer and another in my smaller garage. I have smaller trolley jack I call it about 25 yrs old,paid less than 25 bucks. It's my all around used jack its light and works.

They are very nice jacks,have used mine daily for 9yrs. 0 Issues.
I think the new ones are on pair with any snapoff or mac sells.

Save the coupon with the bar code or just take a pic with your phone and show the cashier so she or he can scan it.

I bought the low profile 3 ton Daytona in blue. Approximately $114.00 free 5 gallon bucket. They had some kind of coupon on jack rack I just gave that to her. Didnt buy warranty.

Thanks for the feedback and posting the coupons. Life got in the way, and I was unable to cash in on the jack today:( I'll get 'er next time or bite the bullet and pay the long $.

Bought one, thanks for the motivation!

I had literally checked them out at HF about a month ago, then watched that YouTube video last week.

40% off made it happen.

Way to go Shiny! Unfortunately, the jacks only go on sale once, maybe twice a year.

I've got a 65 year old Walker jack that's still going strong.

Damn, I missed this. I could use a new jack.

A little late to the party, but I also have a Daytona jack. I have been more than happy with mine. I have a couple of small ones from TSC and would like to replace them with something Daytona. I just dont use them that much to run out and buy a couple.

We may not be too late. I just found the listing for HF’s ‘10 DAYS OF DEALS’. Day 10 is Wed., 10/2, and nothing is listed. IIRC, the final day MAY include all previous coupons. Keep an eye out and fingers crossed.

Yeah, I’ve been looking for a good used Walker or equivalent for 10 yrs. Most know what they have and will not part with it.

I bought two of these last week- a low profile one and a regular one. Both were 40% off. Very high quality from what I could tell
