Default Re: HF tools that suck

I recently bought a HF 6 ton arbor press. Junk. No more stroke nor force than my bench vice. On top of that, the jack wouldn't hold pressure. Same with a 4 ton porta power I bought years ago. I should have returned it right away, you could see the tool marks on the ram piston. I have learned enough times, but still find myself drawn to the place. There is something about a tool that you know you won't need/use much and scoring a great price is overwhelming. I need to remind myself that's why there are rental stores! I would never buy a tool that I knew I would use a lot there.
