It's pretty heavy duty too, a bit overkill for the rocker arm job, but looks perfect for pushing on his frame.

Thanks guys! I thought the Boyds tank was the star of the show .

Really the press is pretty ingenious, simple but ingenious. Daniel (Suspect) did a fine job. If you use it horizontally you have to have the valve on bottom in order to pump it up. You know how many times you are working on something large and think "If I could just stick it in the press" well now the press is portable. I may have to make one of my own, I found some heavy plate at work
