The seller is reliable and delivers very quickly I have bought a couple of major items from them recently.
Their prices for decent quality battery boost chargers are also very good and for OBD2 diagnostic items, for anybody thinking of buying it might be
best to buy now before the pound goes completely round the u bend against the Euro.

So its good for bending....... and its good for straightening..... but will it bend things straight ? 
On a more serious note;
There's things that a 12t will do, that a 6t won't, but not vice-versa.
Please don't ask why I own a six, and a ten.

Thanks All,
Also spotted this one too
Its a little more expensive but a much bigger range. given I need to put some halfshaft bearings on (660mm) so the extra space will be of use.

Yes have the same one. It's paid for itself 5 times over. Yes it's cheap and yes the quality reflects it in places but it works.
I've just pressed in 18 wishbone bushes in about half an hour. I've struggled with a couple of stubborn bearings using the 12t version so
I wouldn't bother with a 6 ton.

I have a Clarke 10-Ton, which has not yet been defeated by various Land Rover/Transit/Locost bearings, sleeves and bushes.
Experience dictates that I wouldn't necessarily go any higher, but I certainly wouldn't go any lower than 10-Ton.
Go 12, not 6.

I'd like to have the space for one (which I'd make use of) but kids bikes and scooters currently rule the garage space

Part-exchange the children for the press?
I've got one of these cheaper presses. You have to be a bit inventive making up mandrels and support plates, but they work well.

Trust me if I could find a way of trading them in I would have done it by now

That's me sold!! If a tool can separate those then it must be made of kryptonite or something!
