I have the HF 6 ton bench model for quick little stuff. Handy. Also an old
15 ton US made for larger projects. Haven't needed any larger, so far.
Never had a need for air powered.

Went to Northern Tools, and various other sites today and looked. But for
what I do, I think a HF cheapo will do just fine. IIRC, the bottle jack
just sits in there, and if it dies, one just replaces it with another.
Should be able to get by for under $200 easily.

Right now, I need to get four lugs pressed into an axle, and I know they'll
want around $50 to do it. There's been other times when I've needed a
press, so I guess it's time to get one.

Yeah, right. Like I ever needed a "reason" to buy a new tool
