Its pretty small. Both in pressing power and in the size of things
that'll fit in it.
I have the "12 ton" model and it's been just big enough a few times...
and I mostly work on motorcycles.
It's also big enough to double as an apple press for making cider.
(using press plates made from plastic cutting board material).
