OK, not to beat a dead horse, but what press do I get? The Harbor Freight 12 Ton at 139.00, the Nothern Tools 12 Ton for 87.00 (usually 110.00) or the Harbor Freight A frame (it's a floor model) 12 Ton for 79.00 (usually 115.00)? I was going to wait until the 139.00 one went on sale but I have pins and barrels to push out. |
| From what I have read, the H frame is the way to go. The A frame will work, the the clearance for pressing on the barrels is tight and can be a problem. Also, both the HF and the Northern Tools, and even the Homier.com press are all the same. I think the Homier one is half the price of the HF, but the shipping makes them about the same. |

I use the HF 12 ton H frame with great success. I waited till it was on sale and I had a 20% off coupon. If you plan on buying at a retail store, check out the price online first. If you find it (or something else) on sale on the website, print out the page showing the sale price and bring it with you to the store. Sometimes the individual HF stores don't have their prices discounted but if you show them the printed out page they will honor that price. |
