2) Press wheel bearing races out and in again
3) simpler and quicker pressing in and out of bushings such as LCA busings
4) Seeing if I can use it to make complicated body panel shapes (repair pieces)

For the record - in case someone in particular is reading this! - I want the 12 ton press with the pressure gauge so I can tell roughly speaking how much ooomph I'm applying.
