According to Google Maps, the Harbor Freight store nearest to Darren is in Chula Vista California. If he wants to make the trip, it's 23,313km and 4666 hours on foot. Oh, and according to Google, the route includes a ferry and crosses through Japan.

This weekend my brother and I are going to make a trip to HF to pick up a shop press. Arvid kindly sent me a link from another forum showing the three models of 20 ton shop presses that they currently sell.

If they don't have that one then I'll get first one since I can get it for $160 where the second one would cost me $199. Either way, I'm going to finally have a shop press next Saturday. I need to clear out a spot in the garage for it but it will be nice to finally have a shop press. Ed

Wish I could get one for that price up here in we'll charge extra case we can land. Needed to use a friends twice last week. His looks similar to the last one Ed
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

Ed,
The March/April 2013 copy of The Home Shop Machinest, page 9, has a Harbor Freight Super Coupon for the 32879/60603 for $149.99. You may not be able to stack a 20% coupon on top of it but $150 based on the coupon alone isn't a bad price. Cancel that. Found the same coupon in a motorcycle magazine. Send an email to my personal email address and it will be in tomorrows mail. It should make it the 80 miles to your house by Saturdays mail delivery. Arvid

I have a 12 Ton I bought years ago, same design. It is very rickety to say the least and getting anything to press in straight is going to be a challenge! I bought mine to broach parts rather than send them out. The press paid for itself the very first job, but we had to shim it seven ways to Sunday to get any sort of use out of it, and even then it was difficult. I eventually bought a 5 ton ratcheting arbor press and now the hydraulic just collects dust. ![[Image: 20130426_162838_zps531a384b.jpg]](http://s203.photobucket.com/user/wrustle/media/20130426_162838_zps531a384b.jpg.html) Well, wait a minute......I take that back.....we use it as a stand for our magnifying light!!  ![[Image: 20130426_162649_zpscbfe56d4.jpg]](http://s203.photobucket.com/user/wrustle/media/20130426_162649_zpscbfe56d4.jpg.html) ![[Image: 20130426_162716_zps42bbdce0.jpg]](http://s203.photobucket.com/user/wrustle/media/20130426_162716_zps42bbdce0.jpg.html) Best Regards, Russ |
