I was setting up my new press tonight..and the jack I thought was 20
ton..was 12 ton.

The press is rated at 30 tons..so anyone got one they want to trade
Stuff for? Harbor Freight has em for $80..but I dont have $80 at the
moment to buy a jack with.




I don't have a 30 ton jack either. I will add my own tangent however. I've
got a 12 ton press, and when I misplaced the jack for it I bought a 12 ton
air over hydraulic for it. I have since found the original jack. Its has
sat in the corner gathering dust for 4 or 5 years now. Air over is awesome
when you have work to do, and when I need a little more precise control I
can still put a jack handle in it.


Yah..I was thinking about that. Going through the Harbor Freight
website and pondering.

But..and I have one..several in fact...but Id need the air compressor
running to do anything serious with the press. And with the economy
being the way it is...that power bill....cringe. The press will be
there after the economy comes back. The power bill comes every month.

I guess Ill simply kick it around, check all the yard sales and whatnot
and maybe Ill find an American made big jack for little money.

12 ton will get me by, I reckon.
