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
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
*ProjectFarm has entered the chat*
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 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
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
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
Mine lasted 3 years then i couldnt find new seals for it. Ill go with a daytona next
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!

Great sale price this weekend! Hard to beat
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.
Appreciate the super practical and concise comparison!
Glad it was helpful!
Is there a seal kit available for the Daytona? You could order a few and put somewhere safe, that jack may last a lifetime.

I’m about 1” away from having to do that myself. Very common for lowered cars. All part of the fun!
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
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.

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

Thank you kid!!! Wish I had a son like you man🤟✊
I appreciate it!
Every time I go to HB I want one hopefully get one soon
They are worth it!

Do you know where i can find replacement pump pistons for the husky ?
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 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.
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
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.
are husky jacks maufactured in US?
What do you do with the old jacks?
Tell them to hit the road and don't come back.
@@Marvin.45 LOL
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.
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.
Love HF!
Same!
What is a good jack to buy to keep in the car?
Aluminum 2 ton Dayton
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
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.
Cool
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
Dude, use ur God given common sense man. Take the pistons out and replace the 50 cents rubber seals theres two of em.
Waste of my time for you to pitch on Husky?
Pitch on husky?

@@TenzaMotorsports Don't mind him. Probably didn't really watch the whole video. I really appreciate your review. Thanks!
I'm stuck between the two as well. The daytona just looks 'cooler' but practically and financially the husky sounds better 😂
