if you where industrious enough, you could make your own!

yes, you can build your own, but by the time you buy your i-beams, the steel, the solid rod, the springs, the flat plate for arbors, the jack etc, Yer just as good going with harbor freight. Just watch those arbors, i have heard of them exploding. thread on pirate somewhere.

I read that thread and the 20 ton will be on sale in March for about 200 bucks I think that add said. I have thought about one, but don't have the room for that too.

My guess is you have friends that would use it...or you'd suddenly gain friends who need to use it. Something like that...
