The video that I needed. I assembled it this morning, but was concerned about the gap between the vertical rails and the top portion of the press. I see that you just tightened until the gap closes. Great idea with the casters! Just ordered the same set.

Bought the same one to press a driveshaft back together. I did find that the bottom crossbar can get in the way of long pieces like that and that I needed to elevate the feet of it to get adequate height for long pieces. Outside of those small nits, it is a very useful piece of shop kit

I turned my 20 into a finger break. But it still functions as a press also. Table winch, air/hydraulic and foot pedal...

Best addition is a pneumatic jack then start the other upgrades. A light duty trailer crank is great too.

They make a kit to use it as a bench brake for putting bends in metal for making brackets; etc.

I watched another guy's video and all he did was dog this thing. Appreciate your review and the mods. The way I look at it is that I'm not paying much for it. I don't mind making a few mods. Very nice review. New subscriber here.

Great video, Binh. For the handle, I zip tied a U.S. General 18in magnetic tool holder (item 60433) to the top of the press. It’s 4.99 at HF.

7:03 I took those press plates to a mom/pop machine shop and had them true up the two surfaces. Mine were pretty sloppy from the factory so I just had him do about an 80% cut otherwise they would have been thinned down toooo much. Also, I drilled holes in the corners so I could drop in some pins to keep the plates from escaping under load. 7:31 Glue on some magnets in the channel to hold the handle. 7:48 Drill a hole and insert a hair-pin with a fender washer. 8:19 That knob came from where?

Good video, thanks for the info. I am deciding between this and the 20 ton right now.

The 20 ton is huge and takes about 1.5 times more space to store. Much more heavy duty. I was planning on getting that but once I saw the side by side, I went with the 12 plus I was able to used a 10% off coupon.

@@TunerwithKids today, Nov 15 of 22 the 12 ton is 139 with coupon, and the 20 ton is 259 (no coupon found) so the price gap is pretty huge as well! Thanks again.

Cut the pump handle shorter. I think mine is 9 inches long. Makes it easier and faster to pump the jack.

There’s no pressure on the wheels during a press. All pressure is between the beams and hydro jack.

Don't drop one of steel plates on your foot.......... be careful. The painted surface on my press is like glass and my plates slipped off super easy.

fyi: I had an application where i was near maxing it out. I needed to remove the pressure screw, and put it back in (bleeding it a bit) to get it to really torque down. Then I had to very tightly re-insert it with the handle. I'm mentioning this since you made a custom billet handle, mine is now too hard to turn where that would be viable

Purchased this to press the valve guides out of a 4.6L ford PI heads and took almost 45 minutes to do 1 single guide the rest luckily came out easily with snap on air hammer using the proper 7mm tool made expressly to do this. Used to have a 20 ton press and the amount of force needed to press out this lil valve guide seemed to tax this pos made in china press to the absolute limit. returning it tomorrow as for my intended use will end up costing me more to fix what it breaks .. Instead buying an actual valve guide removing tool that can be easily done with 1 person. If I need a press in the future will simply get a 60 year old 20 ton press off craigslist. old tools trump harbor freight crap 99% of the time.
