Harbor Freight Expands Their Daytona Line Of Floor Jacks

It’s been more than a year since Harbor Freight released their 3 ton Daytona brand floor jack with its bright yellow paint and all steel construction. The jack has had almost all positive reviews and Harbor Freight obviously took notice because they now have 4 more floor jacks under the Daytona brand name and they’re also available in 2 colors: racing yellow and competition orange (at least that’s what Harbor Freight calls them). Since we haven’t covered the original 3 ton Daytona jack I’ll be including it in this article.

My thoughts: Out of the many jacks Harbor Freight has sold over the years, the Daytona line is the most expensive but also has the quality to back up the price. The Pittsburgh Automotive line of steel jacks has been pretty reliable and an excellent value for a long time, and the trend of great quality at a reasonable price continues with a range of low profile and long reach jacks. These new Daytona jacks get the same Rapid Pump® dual pistons system which allows very fast lift times with fewer pumps. The new Daytona jacks also feature grease zerks on the main pivot point for easy service which will ultimately extend the life of the jack. Top it off with the choice of yellow or orange powder coat finish and these jacks should have no problems selling. The original model and the newer 4 models are already getting good reviews on Harbor Freight’s website so they appear to be a home run. Time will tell durability but if they are any better than the Pittsburgh Automotive jacks they should last a very long time.

    These are the same exact jacks as the current Pittsburgh automotive offerings. I’m willing to bet they drop the current line of jacks, and introduce these at a higher initial price.
