Best jack I ever owned. Low, Long Reach, and insane 24" max height which is huge feature when working on jack stands.

WHAT were they thinking????

NOTE: Please excuse weird symbol translations in Title.

No, they discontinued it. (at the time, it was their most expensive jack.)

A 2-5/8 low clearance jack is not that common. And this one was cheap AND had a crazy high 24in max lift.

I know 2 people who bot these (one immediately after seeing mine) and were extremely pleased with them.

NOTE: My only other full sized floor jack is a 2 ton Sears that sold for $199 in 1970 and was on sale for $99. Still works like new but neither low clearance nor high lift.

They replaced it with a 3 ton low profile jack and added another $50 to the price.

Not really. That jack only clears 3-1/4 inch. Not really a low profile.

I thought the Daytona was the go to Harbor Freight jack since it was literally a copy of the Snap-On one

I’ve had mine for years. Doesn’t get much use with the lift around but I agree that its a great jack.
