Members ToddW Posted January 11, 2022 Members Report Posted January 11, 2022 Just trying to get some comparative pricing.. Anyone know what brand this is? Quote
Members Handstitched Posted January 12, 2022 Members Report Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) Had a look around under different headings but no luck. Home made or locally made perhaps? Is there anything on the orange label toward the back ?

Contributing Member fredk Posted January 12, 2022 Contributing Member Report Posted January 12, 2022 Thats not a leather working clicker. It a garage mechanics press adapted to be a clicker. Garage mechanics use them for pressing bearings into wheel hubs and such jobs. The lever has long since been replaced by a hydraulic ram or on some versions with an air-fed ram using air from a compressor Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
MikeRock Posted January 12, 2022 Report Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) Fred, The part under the added on clicker base appears to be curved. Was this originally a brake shoe repair press? God bless Well, Googling that idea was a huge bust.... not a brake shoe repair press. Edited January 12, 2022 by MikeRock Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted January 12, 2022 Contributing Member Report Posted January 12, 2022 Without a clear photo, I think the curved part we see is just re-enforcement to the main base as in this one This is what I believe it to be, but this one uses a hydraulic bottle jack Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Members ToddW Posted January 12, 2022 Author Members Report Posted January 12, 2022 I dont know what it was. Its listed as a clicker press with a hand full of die's for around $800. I don;t need the dies and could not find anything like it for price comparison. Not sure if its worth $800 for a press like this but thought I would ask. I am wanting a clicker press for wallets and such and this looked like it might work. Quote
Members ToddW Posted January 12, 2022 Author Members Report Posted January 12, 2022 I asked about the orange label so waiting on that response. Here are some different pics that has better view from the side Quote
MikeRock Posted January 12, 2022 Report Posted January 12, 2022 Any idea what the orange tag says? Quote
Members ToddW Posted January 12, 2022 Author Members Report Posted January 12, 2022 I asked and haven't gotten a response yet... Quote
Members JayEhl Posted January 12, 2022 Members Report Posted January 12, 2022 You can make a pretty nice clicker for under $200 using a press from Harbor freight. This is a video from Attack Line Leather and he did a pretty good job. I'm planning on this later this year, maybe. Quote
