I found another use for this press last night, A guy I work with came over to pick up a bunch of old junk frames and rims for scrap and as he pulled up in front of my house his left front brake line broke off due to rust.

With no parts stores close or open we had to improvise, we tried bending the line over and crushing it down with a vise-grip but even with four fully crimped bends it still didn't want to stop leaking.

Then I had a brainstorm, I ran inside and grabbed the HF press and with a bolt stuck in the one side to provide a flat clamping surface I put it on one of the crimps we put in the brake line and cranked it down tight.

No more leak, he could stand on the pedal with both feet and it was solid, it got him home and he'll replace the brake line this weekend.
