Harbor Fr. is your best bet.
the one by my house usually restocks pretty quick. give them a few days. theres a 20% off printable coupon floating around online here somewhere. BTW, the 12 ton is all you need for you builds, mine was onsale w/coupon--$85

yeah my bad with the 16 ton. I was not thinking. They told me that they have not had them in for about month and do not think they will have one in for another month. Who else woudl even sell them? I am half tempted to buy the 6 ton and see if i can get away with it. But if i can not i have waisted all that money becouse i have no other use for it.

I have seen guys use the 6 ton, i'm sure it will work fine---i found that the hardest part is pressing out the barrel pin.
if you plan on more than a few builds, you might be sorry you did'nt go with the 12ton |

I was going to say "homier" too. They have travelling tool sales, check to see when one will be in your area. They have a very inexpensive 12 ton press. I think it's around $50 IIRC.

if you were not going to be buying one from a primary online place. I looked at homier and cummings and they are not close at all. What traditional stores have them? Where would someone go if they needed one right now? Amazon.com has them cheap but shipping is 80 bucks.

Norther Tool would be my second choice behind Harbor Freight.

Is there some reason you don't want to order from HF online? The shipping will be $9 or something... |

i read there shipping info. They will only charge 10 bucks for a product that weighs 122lbs? I find that hard to believe

As noted, their shipping is relatively cheap. I think it was going to cost me $8.50 to have it shipped.

It's true. I once ordered a transmission jack, an engine stand, a hydraulic press, and a tool chest set in the same order. Shipping was some trivial amount ($10 or so). Believe it. The only exception is items that are labled "truck item". |

I like items that take that label...

the reason they do that is because the price of shipping is already included on thier online price. thats why the same EXACT press from homier costs 50$ and harbor freight costs 100$ or so. because homier will charge you actual shipping bringing the cost up to around 110, and harbor freight just charges the flat rate 10$, making both items cost the same. i just got my press from homier yesterday. the box was tore to hell and one of the arbor plates and 3 nuts were missing. the nuts were easy to fix but the plate?

Yeah, I've had this problem with HF before. They'll put a 60# item loose in a single-wall carton with some peanuts. Who would have guessed that the 60# item busts through the wall and all you receive is the broken box and some peanuts. When it happens, HF is good about replacing the items/parts.

My press came missing all of the assembly hardware, plates and support pins. They were backordered for 3 months! |

Mine was missing some bolts and the bottle jack. But it came with 2 mistery parts: a car shock absorber and a motor cycle type chain. I think UPS had something to do with that.... (came in 2 packages, 1 came on the promised date and the other came a day later in a new UPS box.) Took about alittle over a month to get it. |

anyone know if the Northern Tool 12 ton press has the same 1" ram diameter as the HF 12 ton press?
