I want to get a press. I want my hammering stuff on and off days over. Looking at Harbor Freight 20 ton press for 199.00. Does anyone have one from them? Are they any good? Thanks
I really like this one:

It is a bit more expensive but you will be much happier with it. I didn't want to shop one out West so I found a used 25 ton model (circa 1937) and picked it up from a surplus place. I am not a huge fan of the bottle jack style press but the will get you by.
Let's see.......1/2 the capacity, MORE THAN TWICE the price, and it is still equivalent to a bottle jack style. Just has the resevoir and pump/handle located on the side.
You must have way too much money on your hands. Good for you. :icon_salut:
Yup,
I use my Harbor Freight 20 TON 4 times per year...
On sale for $169.00
Getting ready to use it again in a week. (The 77 Gremlin is getting an upgrade, hell I paid $400 for the Gremlin! )
I'd sure love to have the BIG Arcan or the Dake but it is WAY too pricey for my budget.
Sorry, nice but not in my price range.
Sorry Jeremiah to ruffle anybodys feathers...not intentional...
Not meant to "Big Man"
I'm on Furlough from the good ol U.S of A and I'm losing about $7K this year.
I just cant afford the BIG STUFF for the limited time I use it.
I know Mopars & Missiles: he is a HUGE advocate for the Forum and all team members...
Dont READ too much into stuff Jeremiah, its not meant to give "guys like you a hard time for buying USA-built tools and shop equipment"

We have that press too. definitely a good press. Have had it for years and it has come in handy for every thing possible that needs to be pressed, or crushed.....
