I stripped three bolts with the HF tool before I did some math and realized it was inevitable. The 3/4" bolt is too small. I have a 1" bolt I bought for $4 on Amazon and drilled out the biggest plates to fit and now my press can push 58,000# up from 23,000! So nice to press bearing right on the car.
