Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What makes your press any
different or any better than Lionel's STX-360
or the Hobby Horse press?
A. There
are several differences that make our press better
than the rest.
Unlike other popular presses,
you always have positive alignment between the
center of the tool and the center of the anvil
in the base plate. Our latest press has a fully
adjustable anvil base so that even if your press lost
its alignment, you can bring it back into alignment
in a matter of minutes.
Our press does not require the use
of a rubber hammer or leather mallet to set
truck rivets.
The ram of our press is fully
adjustable to provide you with the necessary
feel for clinching rivets and setting wheels and
the lever doesn't require a foam cover to
protect your hands!
There's no need for a 6" anvil
extension and another 3" extension for the ram
to clinch a small rivet. Added extensions create
offset errors - misalignment between the center
of the tool and the center of the anvil.
Our press doesn't have, nor does
it need, a set screw inside the bore of the ram
to prevent the clinch tool from becoming jammed
in the bore. Our tools are professionally
designed and accurately machined on CNC
equipment at an ISO certified shop. Properly
designed and manufactured tools should not jam
in the bore of the ram!
