Harbor Freight 20 Ton Press review

Post by deuce217 »

Hey guys,

Bought a 20 ton press yesterday from Harbor Freight. Here is a link of me reviewing it a bit. This is a great buy at 154.99. Seems well made for the money... https://youtu.be/G3nBer8boBg

Yeah buddy! I love this little press. I had a enerpac Hydraulic/ electric but it was huge and I have little space. Casters are next to make it easy to roll around.

I use the 12 ton model for engine building. 20 is enough to do any job you can fit under the arbor for sure.

They have a 20 ton air/ hydraulic pump for 99.00 I know what I will put on there next. 12 tons will handle most everything! There are some cool 90 degree press brakes that can be used in a press to handle pretty thick materials. check this out http://www.swagoffroad.com/20-TON-Press ... _p_40.html

It would be handy to have the angle press. Thanks on the info :thumbwink:

what I found interesting is that my old harbor freight 12 ton press is taller then the new version 12 ton press?
Life's a trip enjoy the ride.
