Hydraulic presses, any good ones out there?
« on: 02 September 2014, 22:14 »
So I need one.

Don't mind bench mounted or floor mounted. May find its home in the back of a van soon so something to bear in mind.

Rather buy once so don't mind costs as long as not ridiculous, that being said not a lot to go wrong other than the bottle jack I guess providing the metal work doesn't split.

Also any views on 20 or 50 tonne?


Where all my moneys went.

While I'm very aware what a press is just wanted to get others opinions as it's good to get other peoples experience. ;)

You're thinking of carrying around a 50 tonne heavy duty bearing press in the back of your van? An egay 6 tonne jobbie will do 99% of the jobs you need, anything that wont come out at that and needs more pressure is probably going to result in a shattered hub anyway.
