I have a $150 20 ton Chinese one, which was all I could afford at the time. I've been able to make it work for many applications from control arm bushings to Muncie speedo drive gears, but the design sucks and the springs don't pull the arbor all the way back up which is a real pain. I would love to have a Dayton or Blackhawk someday, as I have heard great things about them.

You're not helping Mikey (unless you're pitchin' in $$ ). Thanks for the suggestions fellas. I'll let you know what I find. Keep the suggestions, comments, reviews coming.

I machined and fabricated my own... Used a 20 ton Hyd jack for the hyd and added a bolster plate to the ram so I could interchange dies for use as a press brake. I have several dies to bend up to 7/16 plate thickness...It is one heavy duty press and stands a little over 6'5" high. I added a step plate in the front and a storage area for dies on top. I'll see if I can get some pictures..

Anyone know or used "Enerpac" hyd. presses?
