Verdict first: on the low-profile 3-ton jacks these two brands are effectively level. Husky's HD00120 publishes 3-1/8 in to 19-3/4 in at 6,000 lb; Daytona's 3-ton Professional publishes 3-1/8 in to 19-7/8 in at 6,000 lb. An eighth of an inch is not a reason to choose. Buy on price and on which store you are actually near. The tie-breaker, if you want one, is the Daytona Superduty — a 23-1/8 in reach and a three-year warranty that nothing in this comparison matches.

Where they genuinely differ
Availability
Husky is a Home Depot brand and Daytona is a Harbor Freight brand. Neither is available from the other, and neither ships from a general online retailer. In practice this decides the purchase for a lot of people more than any specification does.
Range within the brand
Daytona publishes a wider ladder — a Professional at 19-7/8 in and a Superduty at 23-1/8 in — so if you need real reach for a truck, that option exists inside the brand. The Husky low-profile line sits in the 19-3/4 in band.
Warranty
The Daytona Superduty's three years is the strongest published warranty in this comparison. For a hydraulic tool that is a meaningful number, because the common failure is a ram that starts to weep rather than anything dramatic.
What neither listing tells you
Neither store brand publishes an ASME PASE compliance statement on the product page. That is not evidence of non-compliance — plenty of compliant products never advertise it — but it does mean the comparison has to be made on dimensions and warranty, which is what we have done here. Of the jacks we cover, Powerbuilt is the one that publishes a standards statement on its own page.
