If you want the best product with money being no object then you would be spending many many times the cost of this product. For the rest of us however this will do the job adequately. It requires a little fiddling to get everything lined up but with careful checking as you go the jobs a good one. Durability wise only time will tell.

It's very simple and cost effective, however it can be a bit of a struggle to line up the cups you're pressing in to start with. This could be improved by a staged cup seating washer. But you get what you pay for. Yes it will do the job, but a more expensive tool will do it better.

I can not say this tool is worth the money. I tried using it to install a press fit ZS44 headset and it just was not right for the job. I could not get the tool to install the headset, after tightening it, it would push the cup into the head tube at one side and then be at a jaunty angle and was impossible to reset. I just whacked it with a mallet and it went in.

Spot on! Why spend money on the £50 press tools when you can just buy this? For a home mechanic, this is perfect - okay it might not hold up to the stress required for a pro shop but it is bang on for most people. If you are pressing things constantly I might say it's not perfect but for the once a year job of pressing a headset or something it is bang on. Also, parts are replaceable from a local hardware shop should you need them!

Easy to use. If you tinker with your bikes at home and will only be changing headsets on an occasional basis then this product is ideal. I don't think this product would withstand long-term regular use. Hence the price; this also explains the price of equivalent products aimed at professional bike mechanics.
