Default Hydraulic Shop Press

Looking for a press in the 15 to 20T range used serviceable condition in the $500 range made in the USA. Shipping cost is a killer so local would be best.

Anyone know about the quality of a Dayton Hydraulic Press (manufactured 04/99)?

Thanks!

Sam, that Dayton hydraulic press looks suitable for anyones garage. It´s reasonably light, has a hydraulic jac that can be switched when worn out (if it can´t be repaired), and should not be as expensive as a press made for production.
I think I´ll copy that one !

Found another shop press in the area on Craig's List. Anyone know a "Blackhawk" brand?...

I don´t know anything about the Blackhawk press. But the big difference between it and the Dayton press is that is uses a manual pump connected with a hose to a cylinder, instead of just a jack like on the Dayton press. The shop press we have is of the Blackhawk-style, and it uses two different pumps. One big volume/low pressure and one small volume/high pressure. That makes for a faster operation, but there are also more parts that can fail. If you are only going to use it once in a while and don´t want to put too much money into it (when buying a new one) you should choose the Dayton type. If it fails you can just switch out the jack for a new one.
On the other hand, if you believe you will be using it every week you might want the Blackhawk type of press. At least if it is equipped with the two pumps as described before.
I guess when buying a used press it´s all a matter of what you stumble across. The important thing is to make a good deal. So if you don´t like it you can always sell it without losing money.
