Spent a good amount of time searching for a good press, I didn't want anything to cheap that would breaking straight away but also didn't want to pay a few hundred pounds for a press to only be used occasionally. This press was perfect, price was reasonable for a claimed 12 tonne press. Arrived in 2x boxes, nothing was missing. It was very easy to put together and took less than 45mins. I had to file 2 holes bigger for the brace bars on the feet as they never lined up correctly but this was no issue to me considering i was concerned none of the holes would line up. Once built i got straight into using it to press out some bearings, and it worked perfectly. Press plates are good and thick about 1 inch, press bed is adjustable, doesn't take up much room in my garage. All in all I'm happy and would recommend this to any home mechanic.Read full review

Decent enough bit for kit for the money, really this should pay for itself after only a few uses. Smaller than I imagined it would be from the pictures but seems well up to the job. As most people, like me, will only use this very occasionally it seems daft to pay 4 times the price for a high quality branded press. I did need to adjust the guides on the sliding part to make it a better fit on the frame and reduce the amount of side-to-side play - not essential but makes it nicer to use. The only part that is likely to wear is the jack itself, which is a separate item and could easily be replaced if necessary. All in all I am very pleased with my purchase.

I bought the press as It was the cheapest on E-bay. I fully expected to have to modify the frame to do the job I wanted it for, as it happens I didn't need to. However I did push it to the very top end of its capabilities. My requirement for the press was to push some steel bushes from aluminium suspension components on a Foden lorry. I made myself a C section plate with a hole in it for the redundant pin & bush to push through. A bit of heat on the housing as the pressure was applied made easy work of the bush removal. Whilst the housing was warm I pressed in the new bush which had been chilling in the freezer. For occasional use, car front wheel bearings, bushings, pulleys, removing gears etc its ideal. Mine will get modified over the years and the jack uprated when this one fails, but its decent for what it is.Read full review

A good product for the price, more aimed at the DIY , small workshop , could do with some minor improvements, ie could be taller, bottom of ram located better, etc It has been used to remove a very stubborn wheel bearing and proved more than adequate. Plus side its quite compact so easy to store until needed.
