ACTUAL Professional ICON tools you can find at HARBOR FREIGHT PART 3
The Daytona DJ3000. Here's a quick little tidbit from Eric Schmidt, CEO of Harbor Freight Tools. Pause the screen if you want to read it but in there. Mr. Schmidt explains how he found the exact manufacturer for Snap-on's FJ 300, cut out the middleman and partnered directly with the manufacturer to bring us all essentially the same jack.
Snap on even tried to sue over this exact jack but allegedly what ended up happening is once the cat was out of the bag and everyone knew both jacks were made in the same place, they all opted to settle with harbor freight's spokesperson saying: the settlement “is confidential, what we can say is that we’re pleased with the outcome. We’re continuing to sell the Daytona jack and did not have to make any payment to Snap-on.
I'm sure we can all read between the lines there. today the snap on sells for a jaw dropping $1015 but here the Daytona is a mere $289.99 DAMN, that's an over $700 savings just for doing ya damn research.

I like how harbor freight does their homework and offers quality tools for fraction of the price. Lifetime warranty is great too. I'm fighting for the broke people not people that flex their tools more than their skills.
If said people had so many skills tho they wouldn't be "broke people"
Exactly, those tools make you money and you use it so often might as well own something you’re proud of
@@ballzmckgee3167 Not everyone that works on cars does it for a living. Some do it out of necessity, or because they are cheap and can't justify paying overly inflated prices for swapping parts, and others for fun. Those are the people that probably don't prioritize fancy name brand tools over tools that work well enough to do the job and can be easily exchanged if it breaks.
Harbor freight makes decent tools I would be okay with harbor freight at home but if I'm working on cars for a living I want something I know won't break and or can get fixed.
Honestly I just can't stand the way people act that do own them. I am a shipping container, chassis mechanic and lube mechanic. If you own snap on why do you feel the need to tell other people how much better your tools are than theirs. It's wild we did the same job and got same results.
7 years later, I'm still using the Pittsburgh jack I got from harbor freight for $80
What kind of vehicles are you lifting?
@HaywardHummus just regular cars and trucks, just used it a few hours ago and still works as well as when new
@@DapimpBDSD good to know, I’m in the market for a new Jack and even some stands. The more I use the one I have, the more sketch I feel being under a 4000 pound car with dated safety equipment.
I’m the same way! Had mine for 6 years. Worked in my car for years on a mustang as well as all my family’s cars.
Me too and the transmission jack too. The chop saw was crap, but still a good place to start. Got tons that are not crap.
Jeez glad I got mine back when it was only $179 w/ coupon. Of course we all had to choose yellow back then.
I got the orange
Yep, ole yellow been going strong for years
+1 for the orange
@@bertbccfu9564 was the orange the "super duty" or just the "daytona"? I know there's the Daytona "long reach" and other non-super-duty ones, but only the Super-duty one is the same as the snap-ons.
@@snap-off5383 I got the super duty forsure. Rapid pump super duty it looked so nice when I first got it
And inevitably when the jack breaks in a decade I will go back up to harbor freight and pick me up a new one because their warranty is spectacular
People always say they buy Snap-On because their warranty is great and the Snap-On man comes and brings you a new one. But, realistically, many of Harbor Freight’s stuff has lifetime warranties (if you keep your receipt), and it’ll take you just as long to run down to Harbor Freight for a replacement as it would for the Snap-On man to drive his fat ass van to you. And you get the benefit of not being swindled into putting yourself further in debt every time he shows up and pushily sells you more tools you really don’t need.
@@brickson98m exchanged without a receipt. You don't need it.
@@brickson98m The receipt is tied to your phone number and emailed to you, at least where I live so that’s not an issue granted I live 5 minutes away and I don’t tend to buy their cheapest products
@@Blindpulitzer11 forgot about that! Haven’t had to buy any tools there in awhile, cause they’ve lasted me so far
@Junior Yep. Just bought a tool and asked about the receipt. Was told NOT required. Walk in with a broken tool, walk out with a new one. Suck on that, Snap-On
More proof snapy is not USA made anymore
Most of the stuff they actually make themselves is but the tools that are made by another manufacturer that they just rebrand and re-sticker usually aren't.
@Aspiring to Inspire actually back a few years ago everything handle rachethead and the like was stamped USA. I had a rachethead replaced 2 years ago when icon was hitting the market and no USA stamp and when asked about why its no longer there, the dealer couldn't stick to one story
@@neilleatham5662 there were always forged in the USA. I used to do contact work in Snap on plants in the US, seen them forged with my own eyes. The removal of the USA stamp was an attempt to sell tools in other markets, after public backlash they are again stamped usa
That's simply untrue. Over 80% of their tools are USA-made.
@@MostGenericUser Weird nonsensical comment you have. Most of the stuff they make are USA made? You just said what they make. Of course stuff they outsourced they rebrand it. It’s common practice. Apple doesn’t label their phones the Samsung Sony Foxconn 14 Pro Max.
I bought my 3ton almost 10 years ago with a coupon. Best $90 I've ever spent👌🏾
All the 3 ton Daytona's seem to be made in the same factory as that snap on, I've had my low pro long reach for about a year and it's so nice I get a little excited every time I have a reason to use it, the foot pump is so satisfying.
I have the 4 ton low pro same here... I get a little giddy
I love mine too, I am really happy with the price paid. I also laugh a little on the inside know that some people think that because the "Sticker" on it is a different name means its better... A lot of PRO mechanics will buy and use HFT tools but they do not like tell others that they do it...
There all quality but I thought only the superduty is a snapon
We used to just stop the line, switch stickers, and keep going. It wasn't always that easy, but it did happen. It happens everywhere.
I watched this happen as a teen working at a dairy; after that, I buy whatever brand of milk is cheapest.
Also, milk that has just expired before selling goes back to the dairy and is mixed back into a giant vat with new milk before the pasteurizing process.
@@Truth-Seeker777 That's something we're NOT supposed to know!😭🤢
@@Truth-Seeker777 scarred for life now thanks
Now thing about all the creators pushing athletic greens…
@@Truth-Seeker777bro they put the old melk back in the new milk
I'm happy they sell replacement handles now $25 bucks hell yeah.
Right! Now I have a cheater bar and a jack handle.
How do you damage the handle? I saw a stack of them at the store so I guess it is common. But how?
@@AlphanumericCharacters oh no I didn't damage it I lost my handle and they didn't sell just the handles until recently.
Only issue I had with this jack was the Zerk fitting. Snapped off immediately the second I tried to grease it up. Replaced it with a stainless steel one, no issues since.
Also had an issue with the main Zerk fitting, but I snagged it on a transmission and pulled it out. Bought a new fitting at Ace to install, good to go.
@@cp9133 nice! Are there any other grease fittings btw? Or is that the only one?
@@DistinctGamer_ Mine is the low profile-long reach model (DS300LRG) and has only the one. The Jack shown in the video is a DJ3000 which has 5. I think the other 3 ton units only have 1.
I went out to my garage to make sure I wasn’t misremembering, as I was sure I had seen more on a Project Farm video. That one was also the DJ3000.
@@cp9133 look up the DJ3000 manual, harborfreight link pops up, on page 8, figure C, says there’s 5. Time to go grease them LMAO I have the same one!
i havent greased my HF jack in like 3 years since i got it lolol
Got me a sweet blue one of those. Didn’t even need to research as just looking at it you can tell it’s not a joke. They also have this dual pad thing that you attach to the plate section that expands so you have two points of contact. I find that it is useful for certain things like dropping a driveshaft or exhaust system when you’re flying solo. Happy wrenching 🎉
Wait your telling me there is a easier way then dropping that shit on my chest and hoping i dont get hurt?
The crossmember / crossbar looks pretty great! I have their transmission jack. But I have (even still) thought about that crossmember more than a couple times..
Hate to break the news to you but your jack isn't produced in the same factory as the snap on. Those are only limited to the Daytona super duty jacks. The blue one you have is essentially just a Pittsburgh with nicer color option
Whats it called need 1 to drop a fuel tank
@@MrTravisAlBetter to have it and not need it...
Harbor freight definitely has soon good goodies and some bad ones. Nothing wrong with offering lower prices against their competitors. You don’t like them don’t shop there 😂
Way more bad then good as a former manager their shit sucks lol
Ya jacks, jack stands, some air compressors, solid tools like normal wrenches are some things I think are good… metal drill bits, screwdrivers, cut off wheels, saw blades, sand paper are some definite garbage there
Been using my Daytona for 3 years now, EVERY SINGLE DAY…. And it has yet to break, blow a seal, or anything for that matter
I bought my papaw 1 to help change his lawn mower blades. He about jumped with joy because he was previously using a chain wrapped on the barn roof supports.
The good ole will it hold hoist 😂 my dad has a old manual chain hoist, a big sucker, chained to a telephone poll in his home-made shop and every time we'd use it I always thought it was gonna break but here we are 20+ years later and still going strong.
I got one for 140 during a sale, and I believe 60 for some jack stands. Hell of a deal
I used to work in an OEM car parts factory, and two products coming out of the same factory is no guarantee they're the same. They might be, but they may have different quality control standards and materials used
I take it you’re that easy to fool I’ll sell you the same hammer you’ll find at Home Depot on a snap on truck for 4x the price but because it was on my truck you’ll think it’s better quality keep up the great work sucker I mean smart individual 💀🤣
@@fernandocoronel6116 if you think two products from the same factory are necessarily the same quality then I'm afraid you're the fool
I bought this jack a few years ago when it was only $150-ish. Went to buy a second one for the garage and said helllll no😂 still a great value, and I’ve had mine for like 5 years holding up pretty well
Damn I got 3 didn’t even know this 😂 love Harbor freight have been going for years their social media has been good
Harbor Freight has stepped up their game in the last twenty years.
Tool quality has improved very much.
Love my Daytona jack. Use it all the time and it’s never let me down.
No pun intended
Snap On be ripping fools off 🤣 NO issues with my Daytona that I’ve had for years
I don’t even think snap on manufacturers any tools almost all my lisle tools are the same as my buddies snap on tools he only paid 3x the amount for them.
@@angelcelis9090 I would have to agree with you, they don’t make the snap on tools like they used to
@Angel Celis SO 100% makes ALOT of their own shit. And I'm a m18 "fanboy" as the SO club calls it. Just don't ignorance or misinformation should spread mo matter WHO the manufacturers are. Now if course matco makes ZERO, but saying the sunnex is the same is also bs, same line ? Yes, same chamfer and setup in cutting apparatus or angles or finished quality? Nope... just sayin- same round stock doesn't mean "same socket".. and I dislike most matco even tho I own some I got at a severely discounted price. Everyone's got something to say about every other brand. Here at mack we have a tech that strictly uses icon, I'd sone of it actually EPAuto? Yep, but he likes them, they work, good for him. He'll my milwaukees come out of the same factory as RYOBI!! LOL.
@@nutzboltztoolz2734 thi isat true at all, and im extremely against SO's overpriced tools. They do make a ton of stuff in house. Every single company outsources things, its the first rule of business in the manufacturing world.....
@@angelcelis9090 Thats just not true. Snap On makes a ton of stuff in house. Matco, Mac, Snap On do however rebrand some minor special tools from Lisle
I got the aluminum HF jack. It’s super nice and it only weighs about 30 pounds for a 2.5 ton jack.
That might be one of their best tools , u bought it cheaper on sale years ago and that thing still works brand new and I use it all the time
Another hidden gem at HF. Their oscillating saw is another. It's not packed with features but is tough as nails
There is more to it than that.
The mgf would change some stuff so snap on would stay with them.
I have a Pittsburg that looks like that. Best jack I have ever had. Their jack stands too.
Harbor freight is great for some stuff. Gotta be careful though. Lots of junk.
Some people love their stuff like sockets and ratchets. Those are the people who haven't used good quality tools like Snapon SK Matco and so forth.
Once you have and appreciate working with good quality tools day in and day out, you can't go back.
I have snap on, older craftsman, Tekton and Icon wratchets The icon and snap on are basically identical in feel and use. The Tekton is decent but not as good as the old school craftsman, modern craftsman is currently junk. If you close your eyes you can’t tell the difference between harbor freight Icon and snap on. It’s seems like the harbor freight stand up to more abuse than the modern snap on according to all the test channels. It’s also a LOT easier to replace all the other three brands. You can just drive 3 minutes to a store and swap it out or in Tektons case send them a picture of the broken tool. With snap on you have to wait a week or two for the truck to come around. I have a lot of snap on tools but will never buy a new one again.
I feel like you gotta use the crappy stuff first to truly appreciate the good shit…
Man I started shopping at Harbor Freight a few years ago and love that spot
The jack on The Snap On truck today is Made In USA. I love how people praise a company that doesn't produce anything domestically and sells cheap junk but wants to bash a company that actually employs lots of skilled America workers.
I have 2 yellow ones. They are awesome.
Let me have one
It's why I shop at harbor freight. They cut the middlemen out at only mark it up once from them to you. It's all made in the same dang factories somewhere in Asia. All you're buying is a name brand at that point so just go for the cheapest option. You will make more money in the long run with less over head cost.
The reason why Harbor freight was allowed to sell it. The patent had expired on the Snap on Jack and yes they went through the same company to give you the discount.
Had this jack for years at this point. It’s sat in the rain it’s sat inside. Once I even bent the handle. Still hasn’t quit. Great jack
If two products are made in the same factory, that's a long way off from meaning they are identical. Companies may contract a manufacturer to use certain materials, higher quality controls, specific processes and additional features, it's not just skin deep. If I had to guess, snap-on requests a higher quality product, and harbor freight has a less demanding criteria.
But, the fact of the matter is you can buy three Daytona's for the price of the snap-on. Trucks better shape up quick or say buhbye
My guess would be: _Snap-On_ charges 725 Buck$ to have it say _Snap-On_ on the side, because people are dumb enough to pay _Snap-On_ 725 Buck$ for that privilege.
Too expensive to use different materials in the assembly line.
looks like you were the sucker who bought that snap on jack huh 🤣
@@scoobydoodrew4209 looks like you didn't read to the end of my comment. All i got is the aluminum racing jack, and the OG recalled Pittsburgh jack stands. Been meaning to trade those in . . .
$600 snappy vs $150 Hf Daytona, both do the same job and mine has been great
Made in the same building does not mean they are made the same.. that being said i would still buy the Daytona.
Been using the Daytona jacks in the shop I work in and I have never had any issues with them whatsoever. Just use Jack stands as well
I worked for a company in the Greenville SC area. The jacks would come in their Snap On cartons wrapped in plain brown paper. We would remove the brown paper, carefully remove all components and assemble, test pump, apply stickers and place back in the Snap On carton they came in and a Snap On dealer would pick them up for distribution. The factory carton clearly said ASSEMBLED IN USA, but of course the carton is discarded before the jack is loaded on truck. Many many other American brands came to our company for nothing more than repackaging. Impacts, drivers, adjustables, ratchets, ratchet and bit driver sets, all kinds of wrenches, My MAC tool cart came from China.
What is making Harbor Freight great is that you can just simply walk in yo their store to buy the tool you need instead of waiting for your tool truck, if they stop by or chasing one for their ridiculous high prices.
The settlement is confidential, **proceeds to explain they didnt lose the case**
Same manufacturer doesn't always mean same build spec.
Did you not read the article from harbor freight themselves or are you specially challenged ?? Jack comes with same specs and everything as the one you would find on a snap on truck only difference is they deal with the company direct NO MIDDLE MAN you the type to pay for 500+ for a floor jack because you saw it at a fancy store so it must be good not knowing if you did the research harbor freight has the same floor jack for 350$ cheaper 💀
6 years of lifting my suv and my wife’s suv with the 3ton Pittsburgh jack and using their 3ton jack stands and it still works perfect!
Stays in the back of my suv and goes everywhere with me!
I got one in black. I needed something that was low enough to fit under step rails on a Ram 1500 crew cab, but also had the lifting capacity.
Thanks man buying tools can be crazy sometimes
Been rocking my lime green for a while now. Love it always go Daytona for Jacks/Stands
I have one of those in yellow, the low pro. Best damn jack I've ever had. Haven't ran into it with my foot either due to the bright yellow color.
I still use my Craftsman Jack from Sears I bought 30 years ago. I also have a low profile Pittsburgh jack I bought 20 years ago. Haven’t failed me yet.
I remember as a kid, my grandfather taking me to Harbor Freight, and telling me pick out what tools I wanted for the projects we did together, I was so happy that he could actually afford to buy me tools, Harbor Freight made it possible. Still have all my tools too. 👍
Ngl the Daytona jack is awesome, just got mine and it's been great!
I got a 14 dollar angle grinder from Harbor Freight, and it's a complete beast. I've used it for welding projects, truck projects, and motorcycle projects, and it is still going strong.
Wow man. I just opted to pick up a set of four Daytona jack stands and let me tell you they are great quality along with secondary safety keys.
I need more of these videos!!
This is gold. When I need any tool for a quick job.
I always check harbor first.
Everything is a better value. And if you’re not using this sht every day all day.
It literally doesn’t matter at all
Professional and harbor freight in the same sentence, that's a good laugh
I'm really impressed with my hercules ultra torque impact. I haven't found one that is more powerful yet. I haven't had it real long, though. It makes easy work of every bolt and nut I've found so far.
There is plenty that are.Check the torque test channel..
Bought the low profile back in 2010 for $60 on "sidewalk sale" still work like a charm today with absolutely no leaks ever.
Thanks for sharing! I love harbor freight. Im building my icon collection
As an owner of an OG Daytona pre-lawsuit....can confirm this is a great buy.
This is the type of info I need, what’s made by the same manufacturer and what’s cheaper in between them.
I bought my low profile jack at harbor freight, I can't even remember how long ago but it's been at least 15 years maybe more. It still works as well as it did the day I bought it. My (sand) blaster that I run crushed cob through with some modifications and it was 1/4th the price of everyone else with a warranty through them. I just take it back and they give me a new one no questions asked. People dog on Harbor freight but if you take care of your tools and don't abuse them they will last just as long as the over priced snap-on brand. Our snap on guy has literally made 6 dollars off of me (ever). He really doesn't like me. I will never pay $700 for a set of wrenches "NEVER".
Honestly, I don't think I've ever had any issues with tools from harbor freight, they've always done what I needed them to do and has definitely saved me some money
You've earned my subscription, as well as I will be buying this jack. Keep em coming, Sir
That was a total backhanded win! It proved that Harbor Freight’s Jack is the same and also showed that snap on is WAY overpriced!
Snap on, husky, Stanley, proton hand tools are all made in the same building, only difference I've notice is the employee's who been there 10 plus years are the only ones allowed to handle snap on, the rest get the temporary employee's.
Harbor freight has really stepped up. I work for a heavy truck shop , and the icon stuff has worked extremely well. Not all their stuff is great but most people can figure out what is and isn't. I have alot of snap on , but im not buying all snap on when these icon tools work just as good. Also never had a problem replacing something broken , which was only one time, on warranty
Love my Daytona jack and I bought it well before seeing this. Harbor Freight has some great tools if you have an eye for quality
One like is simply not enough for a post like this. 700 thumbs up for research and shared knowledge!
Thanks!
I picked one of these up a few weeks ago for a driveway-based, DIY 4L60E transmission swap. $213 out the door. Stoked! Highly recommend
The chrome plating, heat treatment of all materials used, tolerance, safety devices, and warranty will be different, but that doesn't justify it being over 600.
Back when I bought mine, the Snap-On was about $700 and I got my Daytona for $199.99. Those are fantastic jacks.
Yeah I've actually seen CZcamsrs test this Jack before and other mechanics on CZcams who actually used this Jack long-term they hold up wonderfully and are great for the price
Got mine week ago and love it candy red love the color and works perfectly
Best jack on the market. Had mine for 3 years. 0 issues
Pro tip. If you want to skip research. Just never buy snap-on. You’d come to the same conclusion for every single thing they sell.
When I realized this goes on across many industries years ago, it was like sun breaking free from a cloudy day lol
Man I've had my blue and silver 1.5t jack from the freight for almost 9 years now
I have the 4ton, works like a charm and got it for $350
And this is why I subbed. You’ve now saved me quite a bit, twice, for the same tools. Thanks man
Icon series secretly is snap on but without the name. Several videos comparing them on tests and icon wins every time
My understanding is that the jack frame is made by the same manufacturer but the pump and other components are Snap On exclusive. Also the Snap On has a lifetime warranty and the dealers have the parts on the truck for speedy service. That's a personal choice.
Got my 3T long reach about a year ago and I love it. Awesome jack, didnt know it was a snap on until the HF guy casually mentioned it. Definitely worth the $200
This was very helpful. 👍
I have been telling people about this for years and it really is a legit jack.
I bought two of these jacks for collision work and they're great.
Snap-On is just the Supreme of tools
Friendly Reminder that Chief, Icon, Doyle, etc are NOT listed among the excluded brands/items during the 25% sales Harbor Freight runs on various holidays. That just became a $105 Air Hammer. Props to Matco though for naming a gun the 1911.
This is the series we needed. What a G!
Have 3 of these. Awesome jacks
I got the same Jack on sale for $150. Worked great for the last few years
Soon harbor freight we’ll be a big name in the tool industry, with price and quality
I just wonder if they'll F**k it all up like sears😂😂😂
Doyle makes a quality vice and now a small 65 lb anvil. Cast steel, and great for beginner blacksmiths.
You’ve earned yourself a sub my friend
I love videos like this. It's like getting the right answers on a test from the person next to you. I appreciate you doing your homework. Liked and subscribed.
Have this one and super happy with it. One of the better harbor freight buys.
Damn $289 I got mine but in yellow semi new for $60 dollars I had it for 3 years and still works like a champ great jack
there is a bunch of different daytona jacks....150 to 300..
Realistically Harbor Freight Jacks are actually quality jacks. I have one that’s 30 years old and it’s still lifting my work truck F-350 as easily as my Corolla.
Harbor Freight has quality tools. I work in a trade doing electrical and plumbing primarily. I don’t have access to a Mac or Snap On dealer but I use my Quinn, Icon, and Doyle tools every day. They hold up and do the job just as good as Klein, Knipex and other brands that I use.
Ex-Cornwell tools dealer here. Most customers I dealt with were shocked to know a bunch of companies manufacture tools for all four major tool truck distributors.
Keep doing these vids!!! Thank you 🙏 🙏🙏🙏
That “damn”
My green, low profile, long reach Daytona is one of my favorite tools since it feels, looks, and performs at premium levels.
A mechanic in the shop I go to told me he's happy for finally paying off Snap On. I said cool,he told me he bought the tools back in the 70s!!!😂
I'm a fan of my Daytona. Smooth operation. Good quality. Sturdy
Those are the best jacks I've ever used very dependable
