The press is not that bad. It had been advertized on Craigslist for quite a while and I replied to see if it was still available. When I found out it was a PowerFist, by Princess Auto, Canadian Equiv to Horrible Freight, I almost did not even go and look at it. Turns out it was Canadian made so I went ahead and bought it. I prefer the arbor press for most of what I do, but every so often, I need the extra force of the big press. The Hydraulic unit is noisy, so keep a set of ear muffs handy! LOL
I do not think that the 120's have ratchet handles available. I use the ones with either the adjusting wheels, which occasionally get pin spanners uses for extra control, or the ones with the nuts which require an open end wrench.
