[Wanted] Hydraulic Workshop Press
It's time I stopped popping round to a mates every time I need to use a press. Plus, I could do with something a bit bigger than 10tonne I think.

So, if you have a spare press lurking then drop me a message, ideally near Shropshire but I suppose a courier is always an option.

Thanks in advance. 1985 127 V8 Build Thread

I look on fb marketplace periodically but have found they are either extortionate or the other end of the country so far!

Agree re the bottle jack type, a friends '20 Ton' bottle jack type is nowhere near as good as father in laws 10 ton sealey. 1985 127 V8 Build Thread

The SGS range are pretty good value and seem to be better than the generic Chinesium ones. Their after-sales service is very good too, the gauge on my 10 ton stuck recently, I emailed first thing on Monday, a new gauge arrived FOC at 10am the next day. Better if it hadn't failed, but I was impressed. 10 year warranty as standard too.

I guess some companies really understand customer service, and how a product fault can be turned into a real positive experience.

Some loudly talk the talk, others just quietly walk the walk.

I was very tempted by the SGS 20 ton press but they're out of stock Big Cry 1985 127 V8 Build Thread
