Shop Press Purchase Advice Needed
I am looking for a shop press. Mostly for suspension work - bushings, fwd wheel bearings, that type of thing.
Home garage, nothing needed daily usage and abuseage.
What size do i need? I am used to 20 ton units at work, but have been told 3 tons is enough. Harbor reight has this

- 4 ton benchtop unit for $63.
The last bushings i did i used a large (6" but massive metal) vice for the work. My last vice i killed doing bushings, so i got the bigger one. I'd like the right tool!
Any thoughts or experience on this?
thanks,

Only the dead fish go with the flow.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
