Wondering if anybody has any experience with Strongway floor jacks?

Looking to get under my 2005 accord (4125lbs) and managed to cut down my choices to
Strongway Professional Low-Profile Service Floor Jack — 3-Ton Capacity $150
and
DAYTONA 3 Ton Long-Reach Low-Profile Professional Floor Jack with RAPID PUMP $199
(there's also the super duty for $240 but meh)

However, not the pittsburg 3 ton floor $89 (found reports of oil leakage)

As for jack stands, unlike the pittsburg, I did not find daytona has had any recalls. Also, do not like the strongway ones
Just an oil change. At least for now.

For an oil change, I'll always pull out the ramps before a jack and stands. Just throwing an alternative out there.

Oversizing the jack won't hurt except for weight of the jack itself, but you can easily get by with a 2 ton jack

The Strongway is a good looking jack. I got the Daytona back when it was $170.

That Daytona Super Duty you have pictured is the one to get imho, even if only for the warranty. All the other Daytona floor jacks (like Planetes, the OP's, "Long-Reach Low-Profile") only have a 90 day warranty. The Super Duty warranty is 3 years. It's also a lot beefier jack than the others, wider, larger saddle, bigger wheels, grease fittings, etc.

Tell me about it. Every once in a while I'll pick it up and carry it from the garage to my workbench in the backyard.

The last time I did that I made it, but I was heavily winded. I almost passed out. 😁

I have had the strongway a 3 ton for five years. It has been fine. Also have a sunnex 3.5 ton the sunnex is better. The strongway was about $150 at the time and the sunnex was $250. I think the daytona would also be good. Buy the one that has the best price/warranty.

I wish they would make a floor jack that would lift both front tires off the ground at the same time and be super easy to pump.

My HF Daytona is built well, but it's not super easy to pump. It takes some effort for sure.
