Looking at a hydraulic press . I’ve needed one  for a while and have the space cleared out for one finally. Does this look decent for automotive work?

Something like this will be more than enough press for home use.

Yeah the HF 20-tonner is good to go. It should be enough to press anything for cars and light trucks.

I have that one. It’s strong enough to crush a V8!

Back when I was a steroided up monster, 280 pounds of meathead glory, I was often asked by regular folks in the most random places and situations, “How much do you bench?”. The answer was always the same: “All of it.”

Now that we got that outta the way, lol, I had that same press for a few years, and it was great.  Between building a K5 rockcrawler or four, and general maintenance and mods on a couple of pick-up trucks and cars, it never failed and always worked like a champ...

Don’t know much about presses, other than it would be nice to have, and they take up space, looks better than mine.

Yeah, I'm tired of paying other people for this work.  I also enjoy doing it, so it's a win win.
