![]() ![]() The Daytona was an absolute steal pre covid best coupon deals which under 200 bucks, you see a lot of them in professional shops for that reason along with easy 3yr warranty a quick drive to a store for most. Like you color not a big concern for me and yellow not a first personal choice but in a professional shop I will say it got some safety benefit when very easy to see. Personally I don't think HF have the product design engineering capability to think about things like wheel and saddle size, they just accept choices offered from odm at a price point they find acceptable and job jobbed. Shame as big chunk of home gamers who use this jack are doing so on poorer surfaces and that when larger wheels really can become big benefit. So they did the math and we got a pretty damn nice jack for less than three hundred bucks.Īssume seals purely penny pinching cost decision with HF as 3 other rebrands used better seal no drama and pretty much same retail at the time I looked into it, cost is so minimal it a no brainer on that one, casting wheels and changing axle position could get more costly if out of odm standard options but with HF volume it be pretty small cost per unit. I can't say I like the yellow color at all, but it's a figgin' jack - I just care how well it works). But I'd guess 90%+ (and maybe 95%+) of folks interested in current one would choose to save the $30 or would rather have color choice (which I don't understand at all. I'd almost certainly buy a model from them with the better seals, bigger wheels and a larger saddle if they offered one for, say $30 more. I agree with you on the seals - I have to wonder if it's a sourcing thing or possibly some kind of limitation (contractual/non-compete?) from the factory, because anything that small that can ensure fewer warranty issues is almost certainly worth it (part of my job involves understanding the process of cost engineering that brings lower warranty rates and how that is calculated - a penny up front to save a dime later kind of thing). The saddle and the wheels were probably both considered limited return on the investment for larger ones. ![]() benefit (and it adds up to real money over the kind of volume HF sells) and whether they get anything back for it (higher sales, primarily).
