Black Widow BD-PRESS-20H 20 Ton Hydraulic Shop Press

It's quite nice to see heavy steel like this. In my opinion, you can't get a better deal for the money I am very impressed with the steel, even the little leg braces. Its 20 ton bottle jack is heavy duty quality, as well as its bolts which are very heavy duty. It's a good black paint and I managed to scrape it a few times while putting it together, no big deal. I touched up the gloss black spray paint with some black gloss polish after I was finished. I had to order better ones that have cutouts on the four sides for holding the pieces as you press them, so I ordered the steel 1" table plates. It is not a 'cut right' piece of wood and it is not level, so I advise you to wait until everything is assembled and standing upright before tightening the bolts. Even before tightening the bolts, I checked that the surface was flat. Initially, I thought it was a little too short, so I built an 8 inch pedestal and bolted it to that. My feelings about it are very positive.

This was the reason why I gave it a fourth star. It appears this press is of high quality for its price. A simple assembly was required to build the press. Six pieces of hardware were missing from it, which caused me to give it 4 stars. When I received and installed the missing parts, I found that there was a bad oil leak in the hydraulic jack. The company's response makes a difference - not what happens to it, but how it reacts. In both cases, I contacted customer support, and they were very responsive and solved the issue quickly. Having used Discount Ramps for the first time, I highly recommend them and will not hesitate to use them again.

The product is not a good one.
It is not safe at all
you will have to kneel down to use it
There are much better products available for half the price.
And they will not.

There are definitely quality control issues on the part of the company. Three holes in the top beam bolt holes were at least 1/2" off! In order to repair the hole, I welded it and repainted You need to drill in order to assemble correctly. Additionally, the hydraulic jack was not pumping up and then the valve that released the pressure started leaking. A new seal had to be installed after the seal was taken apart. As of now, everything is working fine. Although it's a good product, the fact that it was fabricated by an idiot is really unfortunate!.

I've been searching for a 20 ton bench press, but couldn't find one. The press is a floor model and a bit larger than the bench models at 10 tons. Though I would have liked to see it made with a bit heavier material and in a less "sloppy" style, I still believe it will be okay. Neither the pin nor the springs were present when the order was shipped. I notified them of the missing parts that same day and they shipped them out the next day.

This is a good heavy duty press for the price. I easily removed wheel studs that had been rusted together by corrosion. Everything was there and the drill holes were drilled correctly, so assembly was simple. Welding on one side of the top cross brace was slightly out of line, resulting in about 1/4 inch more width on one side than on the other. Since the work area is low, I will have to work on my knees until I build a stand.

I've already saved enough to cover the cost. My legs are a little wobbly, but I've already saved enough to cover I used it to press components like carrier bearings, spindle bearings, and wheel studs. Because it is the same size as a professional press, I did not need to crawl under it. A 4 star rating would be more appropriate if it had a 5 star rating, but for the price, the product is pretty darn.

Although it is an okay product, the legs are super flimsy and I had to weld some thicker gauge angle iron into them to keep them.
