Review on Bike Bearing Press Set - Turning Point Tool for Wheel Hub Universal Cycling Bearings - Soft Tail Frame Design, Convenient and Compact - Ideal Tools for Bicycle Repairs by Ryan Barton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Inexpensive stamp set

Overall this is a great set of stamps with a basic press for mounting bike bearings. Good range of punch sizes, a decent two-handled press, and it's all nicely packaged together. . The finish of the recesses is good, all machined parts were consistent and clean although I did have a few rough spots next to the labels etched into the anodized finish. For the home mechanic, I believe this kit will last for years; I would expect the aluminum press grips to wear out prematurely in tougher conditions. The case is a bit flimsy and drifters might need a little persuasion to fit the foam, but it fits and stores well. All bearing mandrels use a bore diameter, so even the weakest point (the press arms) can eventually be replaced by visiting a hardware store or choosing a more complex design from another manufacturer. At the same time, you can easily spend 2-10 times more. Put together a different kit from someone like Wheels or Enduro and it doesn't get any better. Easily recommended for any advanced home mechanic or even a shop looking for an inexpensive set of mandrels.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • All right
