This may not be the place to ask, but does anyone use one of these presses to punch holes in metal? I'm not talking about sheet metal, but specifically, to punch holes in steel bed frames that are otherwise impossible to drill. Maybe 1/4" holes maximum of 1/8" thick steel.
Steel bed frames are typically very hard steel. Most likely a high carbon steel and full of junk. I'd be willing to bet it would take 40-50 tons or more to punch a 1/4" hole in one (if your punch die survived). The frame and die would most likely shatter like glass. Drilling can be done with carbide drill bits, but the frames are brittle and may crack or break at the hole if stressed. It can also crack if welded. The stuff isn't particularly well suited to repurposing. The scrap yard is the best place for old bed frames.
I have noticed a considerable difference in the performance with the different sized batteries. On the smaller battery it was almost useless on the larger battery it was very nice.
Agree with the honesty of labor crews. A couple of years ago, my Milwaukee impact wrench went missing for almost a year.Immediate access is more important to me than the risk of something being taken by the orchard laborers who congregate there for breaks and lunch. These immigrant farm laborers are great people. Nothing has ever disappeared.
