very nice, but you could probably rig up a harbor freight with all the bells and whistles for the same cost of supplies unless you had that stuff lying around. Construction alone would be worth it to just go HF for me.

For me I have the harbor frieght but I find 17s easier to just put on a carpeted mat on the floor so I can put a knee on the side with out tire irons to keep the bead in the rim well.
