Just bought the green low pro, long reach 3 ton. Got it Friday but haven't used it. There was a $20 off coupon good through the 24th. My local store had one in green and one in black, plenty in orange.
Looks plenty well built but again, haven't lifted anything yet.

Started with the low-profile 3T silver HF jack several years ago. Picked up the yellow Daytona Super Duty last year. Lifts my heaviest vehicle easily. No complaints with either HF jack. The lesser Daytona models cost less and should function just as well.
I have a Daytona Pro Steel Jack, item # 63183. I love it, best floor jack I've ever owned. Well worth the $200. I like it because it feels very heavy and well made, and its still low profile enough to fit under most any car I work on, even some lowered cars as long as they aren't totally slammed. A few quick pumps and my car is off the ground. Nice size lifting pad on it as well.

I got the long reach low profile Daytona in orange, juuuuuuuuuuuuuuust before the other colors were offered. It seems like a pretty decent jack, I mainly bought it because one of my vehicles was a little close for my liking to my 2.5T pittsburgh low profile, 2-3 PSI low on the tires would mean not being able to jack up the car. The Daytona is lower, lifts higher, and in general seems like it's a high quality piece and I'd absolutely spend the money for another one if I needed to.
I know there are high quality jacks out there for more money, but in the price range, it seems hard to beat the form and functionality of the Daytona line.

There's a tire shop near my house that has about 20 of the big yellow Daytona jacks, and I'm sure they've been used and abused since that place is constantly busy! I'll have to ask them next time I'm there, but my guess is that they are pretty good.

I've got the original, yellow 3T daytona and it kicks ***. Better than the 3 ton NAPA.

I have had the 'standard' 3-ton low profile for about 3 years, and I haven't had a lick of trouble from it. I've gone as far as removing and installing subframes with it, hasn't quit yet.
I also got the orange Daytona low profile, long reach about 4 months ago. I like this one even better than the standard one, it seems much better built as well. The only gripe that I have is I wish the saddle was a bit bigger like the one on the yellow Daytona, but I usually use a block of wood anyway so that's mitigated a bit. Sure is nice being able to lift vehicles to a more usable height as well, makes me miss having a lift a little bit less.

I just picked up the green lo-pro high lift a couple of weeks ago when they were on sale for 169 plus a 20 off coupon. It will side under my mustang and lift my expedition. weighs a ton. I'm happy with my purchase and may buy another
