I've been using one for about ten years. The thing works great. Dies are expensive, but well worth the money. The only thing I would change about it is the lack of hydraulics. Mine is a manual. I've been tempted several times to add the hydraulics to it, but cost vs. amount of use has always been a problem. Make sure you have a open space to mount it if it is without hyd. If it doesn't come with the dies and other attachments, it can get pretty expensive to equip it. Mike Hinson-Bakersfield
