School Project: Help much appreciated

by LightingMcQueen123456789 Dec 15, 2016 11:17AM PST

Hello Everyone!

I am an engineering student in high school and I am very much interested in the automotive world. After working on my own car for some time, I have found that access to a press tool would have saved me time and aggravation, but a teenager's income does not support purchases like hydraulic presses. For a school project, I am researching and developing new potential press technology that would be more affordable to the average home mechanic. If you could complete my survey, I would greatly appreciate your help! Thanks!

http://www.instructables.com/id/Build-a-10-Ton-Hydraulic-Press/ for example.

I can't guess how many tons you need but there are ways to get there.

Back in my school we had such in the machine shop. After training I was able to use that when needed. Until graduation that is.
