Is the Vevor 3 Ton Ratcheting Arbor Press Good?

Yes, it's good for the price. I recently picked this up from eBay (link below) to replace my tiny Harbor Freight 1/2 ton arbor press. Overall, I think it's worth the price, compared to the 'professional' brands like Dake, Palmgren, etc. For most hobbyists, this will be more than sufficient with a few little tweaks.
