The HHIP 2 ton Arbor Press arrived in great shape. It was well packaged and the press did not require any machining prior to using it. I am pressing bearing into a project I am working on and the press has made the project very easy. For me, it was a great purchase and I satisfied with the arbor press.

Works great!

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.
