Five Stars

In general, I haven't encountered any issues with the press. The instructions were somewhat lacking, but it didn't take much effort to figure out what to do. The only problem I faced was the insufficient number of bolts provided for the installation. Specifically, the four longer bolts required to secure the top piece to the frame were missing (refer to the picture). Fortunately, I had some bolts that fit perfectly, so it wasn't a significant problem. Interestingly, I had an excess of smaller bolts (at least 6) that went unused, so I'm unsure about that. I've used the press several times now, pressing bearings on and off, and it performs as expected. Overall, I am satisfied, but the bolt issue prevents me from giving it a five-star rating. Cheers!

This hydraulic press is excellent for its price. Despite an initial order issue (the reason for the four-star review), I've been using it intermittently since receiving the correct product in 2012. It proved invaluable for ball joint and bushing replacements on my OE-style 1971 GM A-Body control arms. I anticipate many more years of use as there's minimal to no rust, and the red powder coating has held up well. No leaks, and all the bolts are still in good condition. It's easy to disassemble and move to different locations.

Simple to assemble, all components function perfectly—exactly what I desired.

It appears to be constructed with a lighter build, but I have used it on several challenging projects, and it held up well. For the price, it's a great addition to my shop.
