For perspective, their 12-ton press is just barely enough to press bushings out of 80-series land cruiser radius arms (I was literally hanging on the pump arm to get the job done). That's with minimal rust. The 20-ton will pop them out with ease. That's a bushing about 3" in diameter and maybe 2" thick.

I use my 20-ton for pressing automotive bushings in and out, and for bending various metals.

This press is likely useful for pressing bearings into and out of stuff. Don't expect it to remove automotive bushings.

I have never felt more out of place as a DIY person on SD than I do in this thread right now.

Yes.

SD said that message was too short to submit, so enjoy this sentence.

I use the 20t press from harbor freight along with (2) 7" hot plates from dab press and have good luck.

This should also work well

I like the 20-ton - no place in the garage. This little guy is handy as well.

Would take some work, but you can buy specific gigs that convert a hand drill into a drill press

Good deal but I'm afraid it'll just add another clutter in the garage LOL. Last time I wish I had one was years ago when I had to replace a ball joint - the joint adapter + clamp from Autozone rental was a PITA to use on a rusted joint Smilie

Will work just fine with their 3x3 plate kit.

3x5 and 5x7 recommend using a 12-20T press.

I'm sure a 6-ton A-Frame would work fine with a 3x5 kit but you might want to do a 2nd press each time since you will have half the recommend pressure.
