Used Garage Presses

Workshop presses are a type of hydraulic or mechanical machine tool used in the workshop to perform various tasks, such as pressing, punching, bending, shearing or forming metal and other materials. Workshop presses come in different sizes and capacities and can be manual, electric or hydraulic. Manual shop presses typically have a hand lever used to drive the press mechanism, while electric and hydraulic presses are powered by a motor or hydraulic pump. In a workshop, shop presses can be used for a variety of tasks, such as bending metal plates, pressing bearing bushings or punching holes in metal parts. Workshop presses are also used in the automotive sector, e.g. for pressing wheel bearings in and out or for repairing bodywork damage. The advantages of shop presses are their ability to handle a wide variety of workpieces and their relative affordability compared to larger industrial presses. Because shop presses are available in a variety of sizes and capacities, they can also be used in smaller workshops and garages.
