Fairly affective for removing toenails if stored on the floor.

Especially so if in conjunction with flip-flops.

I have the HF 1ton and have used to for lots of bearings and bushings on different things.
I also made a bolt on attachment to turn it into a small press brake using this http://www.grizzly.com/products/6-Vise-Brake/H3245 I had to moddify the bottom just a little to fit the spread of the arbor legs but I can still use it in a vise too.
