I have the HHP-2 for my home shop and have never regretted having it. I’ve used mine a lot because I’m always changing things including frames. That said, the most important part of the HHP-2 is the stepped cups. You can get them from Park for $18. They would vastly improve the threaded bolt headset press. Just be careful how they press on cartridge bearings.
