Customer Reviews for VEVOR Heavy Duty Arbor Press 1 Ton, Manual Arbor Press with Handwheel, Manual Desktop Metal Arbor Press 4-5/8 Inch Max. Working Height, for Riveting Punching Holes

Press came in a crate that was pretty beat up but intact with no damage to press. This thing is heavy but l used my tractor loader to set on my bench. The paint job is pretty good and overall quality is good, I'll probably tare it apart and clean and lube everything. No drifts are included but owning a mill and lathe I can make them as needed for broaching and bearings.

The 3 ton arbor press is a solid piece of equipment that is value priced. It arrives in a crate which helps to ensure the integrity of the unit. It’s heavy, durable, and performs its job function without complaining. It should work fine out of the crate with a little cleanup/lubrication. The only real issue I had was the hole for the drifts was a slightly undersized and needed reaming out for the drifts I had. Otherwise it’s a pretty standard piece of equipment. Robert Cowan has a good video on YouTube about the arbor press and how to do some upgrades. Note that a bicycle handlebar grip will fit over the bar perfectly and give you a comfortable grip area for operation. Note that the UPS guy, or gal, will probably hate you when it’s loaded in the wrong part of the van and they have to drag it out the front door! It’s not a light piece of equipment and you will need help getting onto a stand or table top. Make sure it is bolted down!

This is much bigger than I expected it to be, but that isn't a bad thing. It is very versatile in my shop.

This is my first arbor press so I have nothing to compare against. The box was quite beat up when delivered but only the pivot pin for the press plate was damaged. An easy fix. The ram adjusting bolts ride directly on the ram, works but I made a cast iron gib for the front adjustment and made brass bolts for the side adjustments. I put two set screws to hold the handle in place & made a brass knob to replace the plastic one. None of this "had to be done" but it's what an old man does to make things nicer to use. My primary use is it to push keyway broaches. The ram came drilled for attachments and has a bolt to hold them in place, nice. The handwheel is a very rough casting and requires filing to clean it up. Well worth it's price for my uses.

Very happy about spending a little extra money on this one. I have a couple from harbor freight but they don’t compare to this one!

Built well and is very easy to use.

Perfect size and durability for my needs.

It's perfect for what I needed

I bought this because it said it was ratcheting. There is no ratcheting feature. Very disappointed I have bought quite a few VEVOR tools and have been 100% satisfied with most Price and quality and have been very good The only drawback to this is that there is no Ratcheting Other than that is it very well built
