KFFKFF 0.5 Ton Arbor Press vs KAKA Industrial AP-1S Arbor Press

Buy the KAKA AP-1S if you need real pressing force or adjustable height. Its 1-ton capacity, 10 kN rating and 5.9 inch adjustable table handle leather punching, jewelry forming and small metal work that the KFFKFF 0.5-ton press struggles with. The KFFKFF is smaller and lighter, with a long handle you can shorten or extend, but its 0.5-ton rating and fixed table limit it to light stamping and craft work. Owners of both rate them well for the money; the KAKA is the sturdier, more capable tool.

• Choose the KFFKFF if your work is light stamping, cutting or forming on leather and crafts and you want a compact press with an adjustable-length handle.
• Choose the KAKA AP-1S if you need 1 ton of force, an adjustable table height or a press sized for jewelry and leather punching.
