I am thinking about picking up one of the HF hydraulic presses and wondering if the 12 ton would be all I would probable need or should I go for the 20 ton one.
I wouldn't use it much, but there are times when things have to be pressed in. Like my sons wheel bearings when they went bad. I also have read that with the 914 there are ways around a press but that a press would probable make things easier. what are your thoughts on this guys? Waste of money? 12 ton plenty or might come up short? 20 ton? |

Waste of money? 12 ton plenty or might come up short? 20 ton? Years ago I bought a 12-ton press Harbor Freight. Used it to press out/in ball joints. It worked great. Since then I haven't used it much, but every time I needed it, it was invaluable to have it there. Just used it to change the bearings on my rear control arms, and to press new longer lug studs into the front and rear 5-lug hubs. If you have the garage space for it, I'd get one. Never needed anything beefier than the 12 ton, even though I've loaded up the 12-ton pretty heavily. Just my 2 cents. |
