Lost a whole afternoon to a cheap headset press that bent
I mean, I got this no-name headset press from an online deal for like 25 bucks. Figured it would be fine for a few jobs. The first time I used it, the main shaft just bent when I tried to press a lower cup into a steel frame. Totally wrecked the cup too, so I had to order a new one. Idk, maybe it's just me but has anyone found a decent budget press that actually holds up?

That reminds me of the time my buddy tried to use a bench vise instead.

Wait, did he break the vise or the tool?

Is it really that big of a deal though? A bent press sucks but it's a 25 dollar tool, you get what you pay for. I'd just bite the bullet and get a park tool one used, they last forever.
