Best Floor Jack? $1000 Snap On vs Daytona, Pittsburgh, Arcan, Black Jack, ESCO, Husky, Maasdam

Around the mid 1990's my wife bought me a Sears Craftsman floor jack for Christmas and it wasn't one of those cheap jacks. This was a true professional looking, serious floor jack and I used that thing for years with the two stands that came with it. It was probably one of the best gifts my wife has ever given me, which is what made it so hard to sell in a garage sale after I got sick (Parkinson's) and couldn't maintain our cars anymore. It was just a floor jack but it was very hard seeing that thing roll out of my garage for the last time and into someone else's truck given how useful it had been and who gave it to me. All I can do today is watch videos of other people using these tools but I'll always remember that floor jack.

Best channel on YouTube, and I tested that!

I review everything before I buy it. This review was by far the best I've ever watched. Not because of the products reviewed but by the way it's done. This review is fast, no BS and covers everything. Much appreciated and you now have a life long follower/subscriber!👍

Snap on lost a lawsuit against harbor freight, the Daytona is made in the same Chinese Factory as the snap on, snap on claimed theirs was made in the USA, but claimed the Daytona stole their design, when in fact it was just being made in the same sweatshop!! Snap on who claimed theirs was made in the USA embarrassed dropped the suit!

I bought a Daytona about a year ago based on good online reviews. I promptly came home from Harbor Freight and requested that you do a comparison test of other brands because there were so many other terrible reviews on other jacks. You responded and said thanks for the idea. I was so excited to see this test finally come through. I've never donated to a Patreon before but I absolutely love your work and appreciate seeing you respond to viewer requests! I will definitely be donating to you because these tests are expensive but important for people's safety and spending money wisely. Thank you for taking the time so that we don't have to.

I have a 3 ton Daytona and it’s a well built and reliable tool. A rare gem from Harbor Freight. Great episode 👍🇺🇸

Man, the Daytona jack is seriously impressive. It looks like it was made to basically never break. Only other one I'd consider besides the Daytona is the Arcan, mostly for its light weight. But I'm still inclined to the Daytona for all the grease ports. More than just being cheap, that's a jack made to be maintained and cared for, and that's something I really appreciate about it.

Usually I end up a little surprised in all your tests, but, here I had not doubt that the Daytona and Snap on would come out on top. That being said, I would buy two Daytona Jacks and two set of jacks stands and still have money left over for a lifetime supply of jack oil, instead of buying a Snap on jack.

If there is any channel that truly deserves the YT money, ads and recognition it's this one. Thank you for keeping it honest, and putting in soo much effort in each of your videos. People like you are the true "celebrities" and "stars" of th society, in my eyes!

Your presentation efficiency is second to none. No fluff or wasted time just brass tacks and you present information so succinctly and at great pace that keeps me interested and paying attention. You should give presentation seminars.

I don’t have a floor jack nor will I be needing one anytime soon, but this is by far the best informational and educational video I’ve ever seen. This is how tv should be, thank you sir.

I bought a harbor freight jack about 30 years ago and another one with and adjustable saddle about 20 years ago, both are still working great with no problems. Thanks for the review especially the piece on refilling the jack oil. I am a fan of your reviews because they are thorough and objective. Thanks again for your efforts.

I bought the yellow Daytona Jack when it first came out (about 6 years ago) and it was only $180 then. It still makes me happy knowing it was money well spent. The height it reaches for taller vehicles makes a world of difference. Absolutely beast of a jack!

In our tire shop we actually have the Daytona, Pittsburg, and the snap on on. They get used thoroughly in the shop. Snap on has been the only one to quit on us. But it was under warranty by snap on and they have replaced it after almost a year old. All three jacks are approximately 3 years old now. All still work. The Pittsburg definitely seems the most worn out. Casters are much looser than the other two. But all still work great.

As an average/amateur DIYer, I own a Daytona jack for 3 years and I can say it always worked and I never had any mishaps. Great value for money and after watching this video, I bet the folks at Daytona benchmarked the Snap-On jack and simply copied their best bits and sell it at a fraction of the price. Sucks for Snap-On but great for consumers.

Wow! Great review and I like your style of straight to the point and no BS. I like your fast talking and fast cuts. It makes the video so much easier to watch and get the information I need vs these guys who ramble on and on. Thank you!

I consider aluminum jacks in their own category. Their lightness is so valuable when loading them in and out of trucks and race car trailers that you really wouldn't consider a steel jack for that purpose. I feel like you could do a comparison of aluminum jacks which would be very valuable to those who need to move their jacks frequently and who wouldn't consider a steel jack.

After watching for years, I'm still floored with the all testing and explaining of everything. The amount of time you put it into your videos is amazing. Watching the production value go up video after video great to see. Great work

Been using the 3-ton Daytona for many years on my Tundra, Camry, and Elantra. Love it. The low profile is excellent for the Elantra, and the lift height is great for my Tundra. Outstanding jack that I wish I purchased long ago. Love this channel, btw. You stress test in ways that I can't even dream up and I watch every upload.. Keep it up, my man!

Thank you so much for your content. I have learned a lot from you. I don’t know what your background is but one thing you do know is how to test products way better than consumer reports and we know you’re not controlled by advertising. Thanks for your hard work. You are one amazing farmer.
