Default Re: Hydraulic Shop Press

I have a $150 20 ton Chinese one, which was all I could afford at the time. I've been able to make it work for many applications from control arm bushings to Muncie speedo drive gears, but the design sucks and the springs don't pull the arbor all the way back up which is a real pain. I would love to have a Dayton or Blackhawk someday, as I have heard great things about them.
