I’ve been looking at these generic 20 ton press’s ( that one looks really nice actually) but apart from straightening forks, I haven’t needed one for years…but it would be nice in the corner.
Same here. One of those useful from time to time things.
With several bikes going and restorations to come, it'll come in handy.

That’s the same model as mine but mine has red bits instead of blue. Doesn’t make it any faster though - my only complaint really but the power assisted version is a lot more expensive.

You'd be better off with a fire extinguisher Paul.

It’s what every Zane owner needs - to rebuild their crank...
Rebuild a Zane crank. Why?

A press is one of those things I'd love to have but my need for one is so sporadic that I rely on others with full professional workshops who generously allow me to use theirs.

HAVING a hydraulic press actually is better than needing one... Not sure if it will be the everydays tool, but if you have the space and the money - why not?
I whished I had one, too. But then: some repairs I shall leave to people that do it more often than me. Imagine I had cracked the chainwheel carrier of the 5-spoke wheels of my Formula while trying to remove the bearing...
No replacement available... would cause the bike to de-value from around 10.000€ to a pile of spare parts...

Changed the air filter on my Corsa - the one on there was a Punto one and not long enough so had an extra bit added
- there are three in the pic - at the top the original RGS , middle
Champion filter from the Formula with metal backing will also fit but expensive - bottom is the Punto one which is not long enough - to the left is the box for the Dacia Borg and beck one which was cheap and will just fit once the foam is removed from the top £7.50

Could have been a wise precaution

Good tool that Paul - used it to pull the speedo drive off the wheel bearing boss on the Corsa

Bloody paid for itself already!
That's an idea if needed.

My point was that those WERE the original ones.
