I've had one for 5 years now. I bought it when I changed the rear axles on my CJ-7 to solid axles. For the price I can't complain, it does what I need it to do.

On their website the A frame model is $149 and the straight framed press is on sale for $129. For $89.00 I'd jump on it.

I went to harbor freight today and picked up one of the 12 ton presses for $89. The sale is only good until the 31st of October, here is the link to the coupon.

Don't expect precision engineering. The instructions say to square it up as you assemble, hardly possible when the bolt holes hardly match up but it does work great with a few shims in the right place to keep the wobble of it to a minimum. For that price, you can't go wrong though. One week before a flier came in with that listed price, I went out and bought one for $129 with a 20% off coupon so I paid about $103 plus tax. Couldn't take it back and get the price difference though as the coupon states that was not allowed. Still, its been working great for me.
