FBRsportmod68 109 Posted September 26, 2009 you get what you pay for. $200 will get a cheap press that may or may not work right, for an additional $150 or so, you can get a real nice Sunie. Just shooting it straight. www.sunie.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CyberSultan 6 Posted September 26, 2009 I agree on the Sunie. For just a little more, you can't go wrong with one of these. At its price point, it will pay for itself quickly. As it makes you more money...you may eventually consider getting something like the Mighty Press or Hotronix (USC has a selection) so that you have two presses. I own both a Sunie 15x15 and a Hotronix 16x20 and use them both. I still use the Sunie when I need something quick (because it heats up faster than the Hotronix) or as a backup press...and I use the Hotronix for the large jobs.
