HHIPABS Import 8600-0032 Heavy Duty Arbor Press, 1 Ton Capacity, 13" Height (Pack of 1)

woks great. fits in my work truck.

As advertised

Hahaha, bought this little Arbor Press for some hobby and craft work. Seems to be a great little press. I would give it 5 stars but I got to tell you the instruction manual leaves a lot to be desired. This is an Arbor Press, very few moving parts, a handle, a gear, a ram and a body.... That's pretty much it. Page 1 of the instructions depicts the press along with text stating Arbor Press and Assembly and Operating Instructions. Page 2 is a Safety and Warning page with only a partial text. Most of the left text is missing. Page 3, now we get to the funny part. Page 3 starts with item # 9. There are no items 1 - 8 btw. Item # 9, Do Not abuse the power cord. Do not yank it to disconnect it from the receptacle. Do not carry tools by the cord. HELLO, this is an arbor press, there is no electrical cord.. Someone, I'm guessing not in this country has no idea what they are doing or copying... BTW, there are no instructions for how to operate the arbor press in the instruction manual. It's pretty easy to figure out thank god.

Good quality, sets rivets and swages lead slugs with ease

Every shop, workshop or tool shed should have one of these. So many different uses for it. It's heavy and really comes in handy for setting snaps, leather stamping, cutting with inserts, and host of other uses not related to leather working. Really happy with this purchase

For the money, it is what it is. Not the greatest quality. Ram is bowed about 1/16". Action is not smooth. I had to purchase a M6 X1.0 plug-tap because the side adjusting screw-holes were not tapped all of the way thru. Bought it for pressing in small dowel-pins. It'll work fine for that.

Works well and very inexpensive.

This arbor press started slipping after a few days of use. I attempted to adjust the pre-load on the press bar and it worked for a little while before slipping again and causing me to injure my hand. It appears that the bore for the pinion gear was made badly off-center so the pinion barely makes contact with the press bar. Unfortunately I had the press in the box for several weeks before using it so missed the return window. WILL NOT BUY AGAIN.

Great product.

Fab lump got it fast and ready set up for press studs and eyelets brilliant tool

Got to use it the day I received it, and it is perfect. The small footprint is perfect for my Leatherwork station, taking very little place but doing an awesome job for setting rivets, grommets, snaps, or even punching holes.I've also used this to press a fitted bearing, and it worked like a charm. And at around 60-65$ for an arbor press, you can't go wrong.The construction of this unit is on par with other models much bigger and way more expensive. It is a simple design, with very little internals, thus limiting the risk of breaking parts. All parts are forged/machined and tight tolerances keep parts operating smoothly. A little oil then and again, and it can be easily taken apart to clean internal parts and re-lubricate.When you receive the press, you will need to clean the grease on the outside of the unit, to keep it from rusting in transit. The base has holes in it to bolt down to a workbench if needed. It weighs around 20-22 lbs. and has a press clearance area of just over 3 1/2" with the rotating plate, and if you remove the plate you get 4 1/2" clearance to press.All things said, this is a perfect unit for small projects needing press work, takes up very little room, and with the 1/2 ton press capability well worth the purchase.

Muy bueno.
