    I have the yellow Daytona floor jack. It's bulletproof and easily the best thing I've ever purchased from HF, and one of the best tool-related items ever.

    Yes it is heavy, but y'know, heavy is a sign of quality.

    Weight and quality are different measurements.

    I have no clue where that’s from, but I like it.

    Reminds me of this YouTube video I watched that compared a known product to a Chinese knock off. They tore it down and compared internals, and the knock off had sand inside to add extra heft, er.. quality.

    A lead floor jack would be way better than titanium. :cool:

    “Snatch”

    Guy Ritchie movie. Should be right up your alley- I’d recommend it. Surprised you don’t know about it. Super quotable movie. You’ll be talking like a pikey for at least a few weeks after you see it.

    I ordered the yellow Daytona jack online. The coupon pays for shipping and I don’t have to take an hour out of my day off to go to HF and pick it up. Can’t wait to get it!

    They are going to be opening a hf right in my home town soon. I used to have to drive an hour to get to the nearest one. I'm pretty happy about this!

    The tools might often be junk but some are good enough, and you can't beat them for consumables like rubber gloves.

    They are honestly rarely "junk" in my opinion. Are they the best tool availble? No, but they usually work well and cost a lot less.

    As usual, left with more than I planned on. Spent about $100.

    I recently bought those in color coded sockets in 1/8" and 1/4" inch. Since I keep my 1/4 drives loose in the top of a small carry toolbox, it is really nice to look for the blue (10mm) instead of picking up two or three before I get the right one!
