The Clarke CSA10BB 10 Tonne Bench Press Kit targets home mechanics dealing with stubborn bearings. Bearings are everywhere in motorcycles, from axles to swingarms. When corrosion sets in, removal can become difficult. Heat and hammers risk damage. A press offers control.
The CSA10BB applies up to 10 tonnes of pressure, enough for most workshop tasks. It arrives complete with a pump, frame, hose, adjustable bedplate, and pressure gauge. The setup comes ready to use. For varied jobs, an optional 7-piece adaptor kit extends compatibility with bearings and bushes of different sizes, covering mandrel dimensions from 15mm to 50mm.
The press stands 1,070mm tall and provides 340mm between supports with a 315mm maximum workpiece height. Total packaged weight is 52.96kg, so secure bench mounting is essential. Once installed, it stays put.
For mechanics replacing small bearings or painted components, the CSA10BB provides a safer, cleaner alternative to improvised methods. It reduces the risk of losing precision parts or damaging finishes. The tool is aimed at users maintaining motorcycles long-term, adding strength and reliability to a workshop’s daily tasks.
My two cents…
More Clarke love on the site 🙂
At just over 50kg, it’s not exactly mobile, but neither is your patience once a bearing sticks. Bolt it down, treat it right, and your workshop just got a whole lot smarter, with heat guns now being optional 🙂
This bench press is available directly from Machine Mart.
