Review on BestEquip Electric Hydraulic Single Solenoid by Runbi Alvarez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works as advertised, great performance, incorrect connections, missing 2nd oil hose

Works as advertised. Very well packaged, wooden box, 6 nylon straps to hold together, plastic around the block to keep out oil residue. The big disappointment is that the connectors were wrong, the article needs more information about the connectors. It was also advertised as having two oil supply hoses, and it only came with one. There is no way to contact the seller to inquire about shipping the second hose to me. Had to buy another $25 set of hydraulic connectors to make it compatible with my hydraulic jack. You must CLEARLY state which connectors are supplied. Pictures are not enough when TOO MANY types of hydraulic fittings are available. I would prefer that they list the hoses and fittings separately so the CORRECT ONE can be shipped first. Adding oil was easy, the sight port made it easy not to overfill. The unit is much quieter than the 20-ton air-over-hydraulic unit it replaced. So far, Power to Press has been more than enough. Much more than an Air Over hydraulic block. What is missing is the ability to keep the device running and stop the ram moving. Should I turn it off or open a valve that will cause the ram to fully retract, slowing down production while I wait for the ram to turn back on? Value for money, it could be great with a few changes in how it works and details in the description of the connectors and the addition of a second oil hose as advertised.

Pros
  • ACCURATE GAUGE
Cons
  • Poor instructions
