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 ................... ;-)

I have smacked lugs in with a BFH plenty if times. Just support the flange well so you don't bend it, which can happen using a press too.

But, my guess is you are looking for an excuse to buy a new tool! Go with a 20 ton HF, Northern Tools, or something similar.
