I spent $40 on a cheap bearing press and it just bent on a headset cup

I figured a no-name tool from an online marketplace would be fine for the occasional job, but the aluminum sleeve deformed on the first real press fit. Now I'm out the cash and had to finish the job with my old threaded rod and washers. What's a decent budget press that actually holds up?

Honestly, that's just the risk with those super cheap tools. A decent park tool press is worth saving up for.

Agree completely... learned that lesson the hard way myself. Ruined a bottom bracket with a cheap press that slipped. Now I just wait and buy the good stuff.
