What can I do with a Free 10 Ton Press?

My brother (not a car guy) emailed me today and said his work no longer needed their 10 ton press (purchased new in 2010). He said I can have it for free! I said, "hell yea!" and that I will come and get it ASAP. I'm kinda bragging here, because normally, stuff like this doesn't happen to me.

I was thinking squeezing limes into my Corona's?
What do you guys use them for?

 

Walnuts...they will crack walnuts.

 

I'm more of a cashew guy.........

 

You can push out my perch bolts on my 47 Ford front axle....

 

What kind of shell do cashews come in...they are always in a can for me...hmm. Or a bag...but never a shell..are they a hard shell? Just curious.

 

32 shell. Cashews are traditional.

 

Cashews come inside a fruit, actually. The fruit itself is eaten in places like Hawaii and Thailand, and tastes a bit like the nut.

As for the press, lots of cool bending and pressing operations. If it was rated for 6 more tons, you could sing Tennessee Ernie Ford songs along with it.

Wrong... I tried that could not get them out no matter what I tryed!

 

Cashews are injected into a cashew mold. They are made from several kinds of peanuts. True story!!!

 

never understood the lime in a Corona thing. I thought that had gone out of fashion in the 90's, but I ordered a Corona with dinner the other night and they brought me a lime without even asking.

I would use it to crush my MGD cans. get twice as many in the barrel before I take them to the recyclers.

free tools is always good.

 

you could press 10 ton of shit out of something

 

My "world traveler" buddy showed me a picture of what a cashew looks like before they hand pick it (that's why they are so spendy) - they look nasty, but taste so good.....

 

WHAT...MOLDED CASHEWS....wow you can make cashews out of peanuts...just get some good molds. Learn something new everyday...the hamb is full of it...knowledge that is.

 

See what I was saying, yucky!

 

Press? I thought we were talking about a press and everyone went "nuts".......

You can re arch springs, push out axle studs, smash fingers, just lots of stuff!

 

Cool - Thanks for bringing it back on topic.......

 

What can't you do with a 10 ton press... Well, lot's of things I suppose.

Axle bearings. Press on and off, TR

 

Fresh squeezed orange juice.

 

Various bushings and bearing races, press ring gears onto the differential, pinion bearings too. TR

you scored a very handy tool for a great price. you won't use it every day, but you will use it. enjoy - i'm happy for you...jack

 

You can start your own Mafioso and use it to give your enemies nicknames like Fingers and Lefty... Or you can use it to smash Hotwheels that you don't really like and put them in a diarama of a car crash...

 

I have a cheaper version,,,The 99 .00 dollar one ,I have found uses for it,Bearings no,The shaft is too long ,Straightening axles yes ,Its worth grabbing Bushings for a arms....

 

Upper and lower A frames or control arm bushings, and various polyurethane bushings throughtout the rear suspension including upper and lower control arms. TR
