Appreciation post: I wasted $40 on a cheap headset press tool that bent on the first job
I figured a budget press from an online store would work fine for a few installs, but the aluminum arms gave way trying to seat a Chris King headset. Now I'm out the cash and had to finish the job with a homemade setup using threaded rod and washers. Anyone have a solid brand they trust for shop tools that won't break the bank?

Saw a shop swear by the Park Tool press.

Their press is solid but the Enduro tool is half the price and works just as well.

Yeah, the "half the price" thing is tempting. My buddy went that route and his Enduro tool snapped on the third headset, which reminds me of what gray6 said about shops sticking with Park. Sometimes the cheaper buy ends up costing more.
