I just bought one of those last weekend. It’s so nice. I’m able to get my car on race ramps without using wood blocks. Which is way safer. Just remember to remove the plastic retaining clip on the pump mechanism when you first get out of the box. I bent the little metal cross tube trying to pump the jack with the clip in there. It’s weird because it doesn’t say anywhere in the instructions that there’s even a clip you need to remove. Oh well. The jack works perfect for low cars.
As of now (Jan 2022), this same DS300LR jack has only increased from $189.99 to $229.99, which considering the devastating decline of the US dollar, isn't bad at all. It's still a great bargain and I plan to go pick one up tomorrow. In case Harbor Freight has different prices for different markets, I'm in Phoenix.
Lol that’s horrible - that’s 20-something percent increase in 3 years .. but yeah, over 40% of all the dollars ever printed (and created out of thin air, further mass devaluing the buying power of each dollar) were printed in that next year of mid 2020-into 2021
Half the fun of owning a four wheel drive is kitting it out! The jack's a beast but if you don't mind a suggestion, take a look at what are known as high lift jacks, or farm jacks. The are not just your traditional jack, they can serve double duty as a hand winch/ comealong too. If you find yourself stuck in ruts you can't drive out of, a high lift jack comes out, you jack the vehicle up so the wheels clear the side of the rut and just push it over off the jack. Your trolley jack has one use - it's a great, easy and safe jack to use on a stable solid surface like that garage floor. The highlift jack, with a decent base, can be used on mud sand and snow which makes it a valuable recovery tool as well as being the jack you'd take with you in case you need to change a tire on the trail. A quick search shows they're also available at harbor freight. They're seen as standard equipment for off road touring in Australia. I think you should start a trend of having them on hand in the US. Lets face it, if you're offroading right, you're going to get stuck somewhere some time. When it happens and you have the equipment in your car to get yourself out of a tricky situation, you understand the other half of the fun of four wheeling, self reliant problem solving. I'm really happy because my beast of a 300L/min compressor turned up yesterday. That completes the holy trinity of affordable self-recovery equipment. 1. Recovery tracks / maxtrax. they can be used as intended as a "portable road" to help you drive out of a sand or mud bog, can also be used to bridge gaps in ruts or help you step up an incline you might not have been able to drive over otherwise. The tracks I found on ebay had a farm jack baseplate shape molded right into the tracks themselves, so they can be used as a massive base to spread the jack's load over a much larger surface area which means an easier lift in soft sand and mud. 2. a high lift jack with a tire hook attachment, a pair D shackles and a winch rope. 3. the compressor for pumping the tires back up once you finish the trail and are going back on road. Dropping you r tire pressure can be the number one way to avoid getting bogged in the first place so a portable 12 volt compressor that makes short work of pumping up a car tire is essential in my book. Don't scrimp on a cheaper one, get the most powerful portable compressor you can find. 300L minute flow rate and 220 PSI max pressure should be good enough for you and a friend.
As an after thought. Although I have a 3 ton trolley jack and pin locking jack stands in my garage as well the high lift jack for going away, If I need to get under the car to do anything I usually end up using my steel car ramps because they're easier and safer. you can get lower profile ramps for lower cars but I never see anything in low profile taller than 8 inches (my steel ones are a foot tall.) There again you could use your max tracks to step up the GT360 onto steel ramps anyway so it's all good.
just picked one up for $175 w/ tax and shipping with their black friday coupons cant wait to use it as its somewhat of a similar design to their snapon /daytona branded jack I wouldnt expect much of a difference for $280
I like the looks of this Jack but I wish they gave the 3-year warranty on this Jack as well. How is this Jack holding up for you has there been any problems?
Like what? THis one jacks higher and starts lower, same weight rating, and same product weight. Only thing I've noticed going for the yellow is the 3 year warranty (extra 1005 days of warranty for 2.08 cents per day) and the front wheels have grease zircs for quicker greasing.
They are $150 currently that is still not bad. However i bought mine 5 years ago. $50 brand new. I figured why not it's $50. Turned out to be quality as fuck. I have had no issues with it. After five years it just needed some oil. I noticed it wasn't getting my tires off the ground anymore. So i stopped using it. Eventually went to get oil for it, cause i was tired of using a scissor jack. Put in new oil, and boom it's like brand new. Super trusty. I don't know if i would pay $150 or more for it, seeing as i got the steal for one, but it's a quality piece and you can't go wrong with it. It comes with a 3 year warranty so if it breaks just take it back. No questions asked. Mines held up this long, just check the oil now and again and you're good. Don't wait too long though, cause the o-ring on the fill plug get stuck to the cylinder if you leave it there too long without releasing the pressure.
I know its been close to a year now since you put this video out but Dec 2019 they currently have them for sale for $169.99 w/ tax= $184. Look for the deals as these are generally around $199 normally. I think I've missed about 2 other sales this year. This was the cheapest I've seen them so I got mine today. Thanks for the review.
@@Bananamann24 are we talking the same jack? Did you get the regular low profile Daytona? I got the Long reach version. Looked on Harbor Frieght's website and they are $169.99
Thanks for the video! Do you still enjoy the jack? Would you have bought the Heavy Duty jack instead? Any flaws or things to keep up on the maintenance since your purchase? Appreciate your efforts!
Black Widow Hydraulic Floor Jack, 80$s at discount ramps. You can buy two for less than one of those. I considered that one but went with that 80 dollar one instead.
The pedal is not for jacking weight. It's to get the jack to height, once weight is on the jack you have to pump by hand. The pedal doesn't create enough pressure to lift the weight of the car. There is no jack in the world where the pedal can lift a vehicle.
No, that's just the way low profile daytona jacks work. Their regular jack only requires 3-4 pumps to reach max. Their low profile one takes about 8. Theirs a reason for that. The definition of low car has a lot of variables. In the case of this jack, it must be at least 3.75 inches off the ground. Assuming the car is 4 inches off the ground it would hit resitance pretty quickly. You don't want that type of jack to be able to lift itself faster and with more force, in case you miss your jack point. Don't know how you would do that, but it's possible. That would end very badly.
0:03 under that cute red coat is a body full of muscles, dont be fooled by his height (that make him look skinny) lol. I tried to move 1 same thing out of its packaging, that thing is hella heavy (103lb).
I'm not seeing an update. Any issues with the jack or have you not really used it enough? I'm looking at this and the "Super Duty" one with a 3 year warranty.
This Jack is cheaper now! Around $160... check your email edith harbor freight they give out $20 off coupons all the time... other wise autozone and oreillys have cheap jacks but they drop down too fast, and get old and raggedy quickly

why do you keep saying gt350 ? it would be like me saying " the jack works great under my "Premium" when referring to my Audi Q7. sounds stupid. call it what it is not what trim level or package it has.
Nice review. Love it. But it doesn't seem like you work on your cars much since your garage walls are all very dark, which makes the garage very dim and not ideal to work on cars...
Had to follow the manual and add a significant amount of jack oil. Made a difference in # of pumps needed to raise to car level.
Me too
I didn't have to add oil for 5 years. I don't use it every day, but i use it often. Must be something they do now.
