... but in my experience (with occasional use specialist tools) that is always perfectly adequate. If I was running a workshop where the press was in use every day it would be sensible to buy a more expensive one. For a tool (such as a spring compressor, chain riveter, press...) that might be used 10-20 times in its whole lifetime Chinese or Indian made items are most adequate.
