The only parts I tightened all the way down (instead of waiting until the end) were the casters. That has no effect on the side supports. Everything else was assembled finger tight according to the directions and then tightened at the end once all the parts were put together.
20 Ton shop press, #60603 - PASS
After almost 20 years with a 12 ton press, I upgraded to the new, bolted together 20 ton press. It is a big improvement over the previous orange version. I added a few upgrades to mine, including a winch. I highly recommend it. Oh, there are two versions of the 20 ton press. The #60603 is the one I have.

A friend bought one. I found the adjustment like turning old plumbing pipe. They are known to click weakly on low settings. They are what I would expect for 10 bucks. Whether they are accurate or not, they are so crudely made I want no part of them. My Danaher made Husky and ADT are far better made. Danaher made for everybody, including SK. Same guts, plastic or metal handle. They were also many times the HF price. As far as consistency, there never was any at HF. If I need a torque wrench for a critical tightening job, I am not going to buy the cheapest torqe wrench on the market. I would have to get a calibration check to trust it. For what that costs, I could but a wrench I can trust. There will always be a market for the cheapest stuff you can find, whether it is any good or not.
