I can finally start my own hydraulic press, YouTube channel.
$170 at Harbor Freight everyday. I often get a code for 25% off anything. The $249 reference price is what HF gets for the 20 ton.

I have the 20 ton version of this press and it is a good press but it's short. You will end up building a base for this out of wood unless you like benddig over.

Totally agree. I built a 12" tall base for mine with some leftover 12" ceiling truss pieces and now it's the perfect height.

I've seen people making rosin presses out of these on the cheap. If I didn't already own one that I paid $400 for I'd bite.

Is 12 Ton enough for weekend wrenching on cars and trucks or should I get the 20 Ton from Harbor Freight?

There have been times when I wish I had the 20 ton, but it has always worked out one way or the other with some penetrating oil or a little heat. Sometimes just leaving a stuck part in a bind for a while it'll pop loose by itself. It sorta comes down to what you want to spend versus the duty you have in mind for it. If you have a 3/4 ton or above truck, or equipment like a tractor or skidsteer, you'll probably be happier with the 20 ton. The 12 ton will handle 90% of weekend wrenching jobs without breaking a sweat.

My tablet was on my bed when I laid on it and now it's bent about 3 mm curved. Will this straighten it out?

$169 at harbor freight. 20% coupon makes it $136. ($127 with a 25% coupon)
So a good price but certainly not something that's uncommon and a "must buy" at this price.

My buddy just got one for $40 at a garage sale - so that's an option


Amazon (ccc)
Lowest $99.90 (Feb 09, 2019)
Highest $340.41 (Nov 15, 2020)
Current $181.33 (Feb 27, 2025)
Average $211.84

3rd Party New $129.99 (Aug 23, 2011)

A lot of us have an unwritten mental "wish list" of sorts. That is to say, if a price is posted that is at or near historic lows for that item, then that's as good as it gets, and the trigger can be pulled with high confidence that the deal made is at least very close to the best possible, not considering garage sales or other anomalous one-time sources. I appreciate your research and posting of the data. Obviously 6 years ago would have been the time to buy at $100, but I think we can all agree that price is not likely to be seen again after the events of 2020 and the new tariffs.

Edit: I went back and found when I ordered mine from HF. $120 back in 2009 on a hot deal at the time:

Order Date:2009-07-02
***Order Summary***
1 1667-1ZZA 12 Ton A-Frame Industrial Heavy Duty Floor Shop Press @ $119.99

It's still going strong 15+ years later. I did break one of the cast press plates, which is a well known issue with the older HF units. Nowadays I think all of them are cut steel for that reason.
