This Press works great, especially for thin leather. This is a great option for anyone doing leatherwork who cant afford the $4,000 Weaver press. It is simple and easy to maintain. My only complaints are that the main plte can come loose and getting your hand in to tighten the alan screws can be a challenge. Also the wrech they set was not the right size and would strip the bolts. I just used one of my own. But honestly, this thing is perfectly simple and does exactly what it says it does.
