Top-quality machined aluminium part. Better than the original. Don't bother trying to glue the original like I did (as shown on another Youtube video) because it will just break again, as mine did! This upgrade is well worth the cost.
Very easy to fit (once you've got the module apart) and works perfectly once re-assembled.
Very quick delivery.
Sealey Arbor Press 0.5tonne High Quality/Heavy Duty PK500 Free P&P

The Best 0.5t Arbor Press Out there (After DIY Improvements)
I LOVE this little press! I bought the PK2000 first by mistake, not realising how big and heavy it is (far too big & heavy for my needs), so after selling it, I chose the Sealey PK500 and have loved it ever since. I feel it is better than it's rivals from Clarke & Axminster, although the price reflects this, as it is twice the price of the Clarke model. But you get the extra bolt and hole in the ram to hold tools in, which you don't with the other makes. Also the handle and casting is far batter quality and looks nice. Even the colour - Sealey green - looks nicer in my opinion. The revolving table is much better quality as well. I have made some improvements to it, such as a new, silver steel handle that is slightly larger diameter (by 0.5mm) than the original (with new rubber end caps) which takes out any slack movement the original had, plus it looks much better and feels better, as well as being slightly longer, giving increased pressure / tonnage. I've also replaced all the nuts & bolts with nice BZP ones and made a base for it. Made a base plate to use with it too (instead of the revolving base that comes with it) from 10mm thick steel (bought off eBay) Overall, these improvements have made a good press into a superb press! Very pleased with it.
I have always used Autoglym Super Resin Polish, which leaves a deep shine, glossy reflective finish and a smooth "glidey" feel (your hands/fingers glide effortlessly along the paintwork when you test the finish with the back of your hands).
I thought I would try this Ceramic Spray after watching a few reviews on Youtube and it looked good.
I applied the spray correctly (not in sunshine, heat etc).
After I had done it, the paintwork looked slightly shinier and more reflective than Super Resin Polish alone. It also had a slightly deeper gloss finish. So far so good.
The problem I have had is that when it is wet, rains, damp cars in the morning, my car is the ONLY one in the street that now holds all the water beads. The beads do NOT run off the car.
Since doing the Ceramic Spray, I have had countless mornings / days when I have looked around the street & saw everybody else's car has no water on it (or very little), whilst mine is covered in drops of water that appear to be held by the Ceramic Spray. If has annoyed me so much, so many times.
Before using the Ceramic Spray, when I used only Super Resin Polish, that always gave me super water-repellant finish which always made the water bead and run off the car better than anyone else's car in the street.
So why did the Ceramic Spray do that?
I have since polished the Ceramic Spray off my car & will never use it again.
