Shop Press

Anyone have any opinion of a good hydraulic or hand pump presses to get that they have at their houses or w.e, ive been looking for one for awhile but just never got around to actually getting one.

I dont need anything huge or crazy expensive thousand or more range, just something that will be good for home use for gear setups or just about anything id need for home garage anyways.

Thanks

I'm working on converting my wood splitter so it will double as a press.
Just waiting to come across the last two pieces of steel.
It has a two cylinder Wisconson engine with two stage pump , so it might get the job done.

This is basically the same thing at HF:

12 Ton Shop Press

All it comes with is what you see in the pictures... just the press itself and those two plates.
