need recommendations for a good 10 ton porta power

[94yj]

i am looking for a good one to have and use as needed at work and would like one that is pretty much trouble free and will last a few years without leaking TIA

 

[94yj]

also any brands i need to stay away from?

Stay away from Harbor Freight.

Mine leaks horribly.

They are pretty much all the same. You can go high dollar, but a good chunk of Enpac is imported now.

Stay away from Harbor Freight.

OTOH, I've had 2 of the HF 10 ton kits and 2 of their pulling cylinders for close to 10 years with no leaks to date.

I have a Torin from northern tool, been good for the time I have had it

I purchased the Harbor Freight one last fall in anticipation of a project. Tried to use it then a few weeks ago for the first time and it will not pump up. Went to HF with it and as I had no receipt and it was more than 90 days old they said sorry...... I'm no longer an advocate for HF.

i have a torin 10 ton. i rarely use it. just too big and awkward for most jobs.

i have a no name 4 ton that has been beat to hell and back. i wish i had another one.


unless you really need a ten ton i would avoid them. a 4 ton is so much more useful. the light wright and compact size makes them easier to use and put in place. i get agitated every time i have to use that other heavy *****.

Enerpac or Simplex would be my top 2 choices, neither is cheap.
