OK then.
As Yoda say would: Impulse purchase that would be.

No floor, 20-ton hydraulic press, as our 22x22 garage is too small, especially that I have a trailer, two sets of winter wheels, 8 gallon compressor, recycling bin, and lots of other stuff around.
On the top of that Q5 and either Bolt or Boxster inside.

The first engine mount I ever replaced, I used a floor jack, some pieces of wood and one very heavy RV.

I have been Dicking with cars for 50 + years.
I have needed a press maybe a handful of times.
Most times there is a work around.
Although I have only had it a few year the thing I use and like the most is my scissor lift.
Even waxing the Porsche... gets it up where I can see and I can sit on a stool while working.
