Thanks for the info All.

As far as having a durable tool and using it a lot - I have not had any luck with the one I do have, not that I have used it very often, but found it worthless when I did try to use it. So I don't anticipate needing to use it "a lot", but I need something that I can trust will work when I do need to use it. To that point is why I want a durable tool - something nice that will last and be reliable.

The hydraulic press I have is a 20t floor mount. I use it for pressing truck parts - ball joints, bearings, seals, etc. One tool with a bazillion uses. I've fixed chains before with it too - with a bit of finesse, chainsaw chains not bike chains.
