I need Automotive jack suggestions.

I just bought the 3T Orange Daytona - $82 with the coupon. I don't think is as low as the Yellow one, but it's low enough to go under my Impala and Camry. A little beast! A great companion to the 6 Ton HF Jack Stands.

The Orange Daytona Jack looks like my Yellow Daytona I didn't look up the differences yet. I am looking for something a little lighter and easier to move around If I need to take it out to the fields or something.

My 25 year old Craftsman jack finally bit the dust too. I just picked up the 3ton low profile / long reach Daytona jack this week. It was on sale for 169 and had a 20 off coupon in an email.

It is a tank weighs over a 100lb. Its low enough to fit under my Mustang and tall enough to lift my Expedition. I read tons of reviews on the orange one before purchasing this one. They had no more orange in stock at the store.

HF refuses to spend an extra 50 cents and use u-cup seals so that it won't last and will need to be replaced via planned obsolescence in 10 yrs of minimal homeowner use - .because they know when it fails that person will go back to HF and buy a new one . I've scrapped at least 5 HF jacks with minimal homeowner use in 25 yrs: 2 floor jacks at 5-10 yrs ea, 2 bottle jacks on my 12T press, and the jack was bad on my engine hoist out of the box. I'm not a HF basher .but they **** for jacks. I now have a HW and an AC floor jack

What is the difference between the orange 3 ton Dsytona and the Yellow?
