Hi

have anyone heard of this little company?
Anyone purchased a press from them, and can offer a product review?

Kind regards

5kg weight, not very heavy, depends on the use I guess

16mm stroke, not much space for a setting tool and material under it, but again it would depend on what you are doing with it

I haven't used a press before, this would be my first. 

I would use it with custom dies, making smaller leather goods as wallets, smaller bags, and other miscellaneous leather goods. 

Any recomendations regarding leather presses? brand?

Here is another thread that was on presses

I think most folks that are more hobby than pro may use an arbor press

I am tons more hobby than pro, I would agree with the use of arbor press. This was done with the half ton model from harbor freight.  Couldn't go wrong for $60

 

stamps still had some ink and cut in leather.  But it was on a piece of scrap.
