    I’ve had mine for a few months and it’s prolly the single best HF purchase I’ve made. I was reluctant to get it because it’s heavier than hell but you don’t feel the weight just rolling it around. Even rolling it across gravel is not bad. Amazing jack!!

    What’s the price and runtime on that? I have a gas stihl blower, but a battery powered one would be nice sometimes

    I was surprised how easily it rolls across my gravel driveway. Best jack I’ve ever had the pleasure of using. I have an aluminum jack I haven’t touched since getting the Daytona

    It wasnt a coupon, they were having an extra % off depending upon the day, so Friday was an extra 10% off, Saturday was an extra 20%, and the Sunday was an extra 30% off. I wasnt willing to risk waiting to get a few more dollars and it not be there, so I snatched it up for 320. To me, that was an exceptional bargain.

    A while back I got a coupon for 15% off 1 item, no restrictions, so I picked up the 22in green top box for pretty cheap, around 180 if I remember right.
    I got it to put under my Elgin metal lathe to store bits, etc. I use the metal lathe to drill the center holes for the pens I make because it has a 3.5 in tail stock quill, so I can drill all the way through in a single shot. Although, a compound and crossslide came with it (hardinge), it is a single operation lathe so it doesnt have power feed. I have a four jaw chuck with a 5c collet adapter for it. The old hardinge and Elgin metal lathes have a 2 1/4 inch spindle thread and four jaw chucks are super expensive, so the 5c collet chuck works for what I need it to. I really need to replace the old leather belt for it.

    This is a small blower, basically a glorified broom. Run time is not super long. Just a few mins of use burned 25% of the battery

    I bought this wrench set at full price last week. If I go back with my receipt and this coupon, will they adjust the price? If not no biggie, but I’ll take the $15 savings if it’s there to grab.

    Fourthed. My 30ish year old Snap-On jack shit the bed last year & the local guy quoted me a hair over $300 to R&R the hydraulics. My old SO jack wouldn't go low enough to slide under my daily driver, nor would it get my truck off the ground by anything but the axle or LCA. I stalled for about a year before I got the Daytona...and no ragerts!

    I can say you cant beat a comprehensive set of box wrenches for $20 standard, and metric sizes short and medium length ones.. impact sockets short and long are always good, 28" breaker bars with the red/black handle.. pick sets, punches, sandpaper/emery cloth, HVLP guns, AIR LINES on the cheap, jacks (bottle or rolling auto), Jackstands.. all can be had for decent prices, just dont expect tools such as grinders, rotary, drill bits, and stuff like that to last.. they may work, but the quality, and a warranty are usually not worth the hassle.
