Hi Dale, This press has been the perfect addition to the garage. It has handled all my auto & other needs. If I used it in a "shop" environment, I would consider the 12 ton model. This is the 12 ton - amzn.to/3ub4yMc What will be your main purpose for the shop press? Thanks for dropping by & have a great day :) @RCInsiders
Thanks! Really can't beat it for the price. I've used it a decent amount & it does all i have asked of it. Are you using it for a shop or your garage? Thanks for dropping by & have a great day :) @RCInsiders
Just ordered one from Lowes yesterday, i thought it was a full size and wondering where to put it, thats perfect as I can mount on my bench, exact dimensions for the project I'm working on
Awesome cornbread! This press has been great having around the garage :) What kind of project do you have? Thanks for dropping by & have a great day!! @RCInsiders
Nice Tim! For sure. If you have the need it's definitely worth it 👍👍 Do you use it in a shop setting or in the garage? Thanks for dropping by & have a great day! @RCInsiders
Awesome! I have been happy with the press so far. For the price of the unit, you really can't beat it. Have you used a shop press before? Thanks for dropping by & have a great day :) @RCInsiders
@@RCInsiders I have used one a few times. Unfortunately this will be the 3rd time taking this thing apart. I had a mistake on it I have to go back in and fix.
Here's a review when pushing something bigger than a roller blade: They may call it a 6 ton press, but believe me, the only thing that will withstand 6 tons is the JACK! My wife wanted me to change the bearings on her Kia Soul. I told her that they are pressed in and I can't do them because I didn't have a press. She said she didn't want to bring it to a shop and pay over a $1000 to have the front bearings done. She said she would rather buy me a press. She showed me the Vevor 6 ton press, and I said that should be plenty to press out a car bearing. I received the press and assembled it, and bolted it to a table. When I put the car wheel assembly on the press, I soon found out that the support beams do not spread much more than 3 inches apart. I needed at least 6 inches of gap to slide the bearing in. I removed the pins, and cut two pieces of 4x4 square post to use as my bench. I laid them across the top of the angle iron feet. I then placed the orange factory steel pieces over the wood. I got everything all leveled and shimmed and ready to press! Well, needless to say I gave it about 4 pumps, and the entire thing basically folded! Parts went everywhere. The angle iron feet pulled upwards, and split where they bolt to the main body of the press. Long story short, the press body is rated for 500lbs. max, and only the jack itself is rated for 6 tons! If you put any real pressure on that little press, it will fail. It may work in southern states with no rust or road salt, but it fails miserably here on the east coast. Since that factory table only splits apart not more than 4 inches, it clearly is only rated for very small, tiny jobs. I wouldn't recommend doing anything larger than what is shown in this video.
Hi Steve, Sorry to hear you had problems with the press. I have not had any of these issues with mine & can't find it stated anywhere about 500 lbs for the table/press. If you assembled it properly & this happened I would definitely send it back for a replacement or refund. Perhaps you got one with a defect? Were you able to get the wheel bearings done?
@@RCInsiders I wasn't saying that the press advertised itself as only able to support 500lbs. It clearly says it's a 6 ton. The frame itself in NO way can handle 6 tons of force. I can't say for sure how much pressure I applied to the press when trying to push out the car wheel bearing. All I know is that it the bearing didn't budge, but the press folded. I think I will mention this to the guy on Project Farm. He tests all sorts of things on his channel. He would be able to tell us exactly how much pressure that little press can handle.
Hi, I would think that it would. You could opt for the 12 ton - amzn.to/3ub4yMc My best advice would be to soak it in PB blaster or WD 40 overnight before trying. Is it rusty? Thanks for dropping by & have a great day :) @RCInsiders

You should have opt for the 12 ton press… that way you can have just about anything that has to be pressed with no problem including auto wheel bearings etc ..!
Hey Tim, It's a good option, just didn't have the extra 50 at the time. Been happy with this one so far as it has met all my needs. Do you have the 12 ton? Thanks for dropping by & have a great day :) @RCInsiders

great review. question: do you think this is strong enough to press out an axle from ebike hub motor that I need to switch out? think i might order both (6T) first for smaller projects and then 12T for shop. /Bklyn👑
Hi, I feel like it would do the job. I like the idea of getting both & have been thinking about it too :) What kind of shop? Thanks for dropping by & have a great day! @RCInsiders
@@RCInsiders ebike repair shop. i purchased 6T used for >$90 on Amazon (used) + i found out i can switch out the 6T cylinder. ima purchase 20t cylinder for >$50 and use 6T jack for something else im sure at some point. and thanks. /Bklyn👑

@@stevemiller9135 Cool. Let me know if you do. Curious as well
@@RCInsiders Ok, will do!
Would this be strong enough to press out an old front drive wheel bearing that's been in the knuckle for 20 years?
Hi,
I would think that it would.
You could opt for the 12 ton - amzn.to/3ub4yMc
My best advice would be to soak it in PB blaster or WD 40 overnight before trying.
Is it rusty?

@RCInsiders
How do you know how much pressure you are putting on the piece you are working on ?
Hi,
The only way to get exact pressure would be with a gage.
Not sure of another way?
Very nice review 😊👍💯
Thanks buddy!
Much appreciated :)
@RCInsiders
Hey I bought one of these . Is there a way to stop the press from loosing pressure. I was pressing some wood to make the gluse between plys . But the press realised pressure. Do you know why that happened ?
Hi,
Not sure why that happened. Did you notice any leaking fluid anywhere?
Or the release not closed all the way?
Great video but I'm surprised no one has mentioned the cool looking duck or geese that is lurking in the background, you should do a video about it.
Great catch 😂
The goose is my helper when I can't find anyone to hold the flashlight 🤣
Thanks for that my friend!
