T Press Tool 3.5 Inches Engineered Brass Cylinder Heavy Duty Metal T Handle Shape, Spice, Tincture Extractor Crusher Silver Color

Works great. I recommend leaving it on a heating pad less than 150 F overnight. Cut parchment papers the same diameter as the brass plugs so it doesn’t stick. Retighten every couple of hours. It will come out dark and gummy instead of crumbly. Soak and clean with ISO alcohol after three uses or before storing. Enjoint.

If you're purchasing this to work your wrist and forearm muscles, you won't be disappointed. In order to get anything at all out of compression, you'll need the forearm and hand strength of the mighty Bruce Lee. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that if he were alive today, he would literally be the only person on this earth that could exact a drop of oil out of any leaf compressed. There is a secondary need for this device that it does in fact serve well. And that is as a conversation piece. Short of a new work out tool or a conversation piece, this "tool" is literally of no value. Instead of purchasing this, might I recommend a hard surface and a new pair of overly-hard soled storm trooping boots to smash what you want into submission? It would do you more good. Finally, I'd like to mention that maybe your relationship could bear the existence of this appliance. Mine? Well, my wife laughed at my gullibility. I'd get mad but... she's right.

Before I bought this I read a bunch of reviews,some saying it had "sharp edges" no sharp edges at all a very nicely machined press,some complained about "filings" in their finished product You have to cycle this press a few times, then oil it with some olive oil and cycle it a few more times,Then it is ready to use,on compression, remember you are not tightening the flywheel nut on a Detroit diesel,so a little pressure goes a long ways,Makes great pucks and clean up is easy with some rubbing alcohol and then re oil with olive oil,oil the threads to !

Does the job. The knurling (criss cross pattern around the body of it) on the press makes gripping the press easier. Makes a decent size "puck" of material & basically does what it is supposed to do! My wife was happy with the final product. Having read some reviews, time will tell how it holds up. Will update if I have problems later down the road.Update: a year after buying, though not used much, it still does the job & shows no sign of wear & tear/damage. Decent product.

I've purchased 3 other pollen presses before this one, and this is by far the best, and the only one of the four that I would recommend. It's well made, sturdy and uses brass rather than aluminum components.

Using this strictly for a tincture press (pressing oil out of material), it works pretty well. The tube itself is only around 2.5" so you can't get much material in there. Using a dry powder, I am only able to get about 2-3 grams in the tube when each batch I make is roughly 5g. Unfortunately, it makes it difficult when you have to do a second round because you WILL get oil on your hands when opening the press. After a handful of times I got the process down to maximize efficiency and reduce waste. The next issue is that it's just really small in general and while it has grips, it is pretty slick to grab and really give it a good crank. Cleaning isn't really an issue unless you get build up under the tincture cap's screen. Otherwise, it's good and for really small batches, I would recommend it. I found larger presses at a lower cost, so I will be comparing them on my YouTube channel soon!

My only issue with this press is that when I tried to use it for the first time, the T-handle came off and the plunger was left stuck inside the cylinder. A small piece of JB Weld SteelStik fixed that in about an hour and then I was able to get to work. With everything secure, this is great and I wish I had gotten one of these a lot sooner. I’ve seen lots of “how to” videos and everyone ends up with disks stuck in the cylinder or on the press ends. I’ve never had that problem using the manufacturer’s instructions to use olive oil and parchment paper. I put a drop of oil on a paper towel and rub an extremely thin coat in the top of the bottom press end and on the top and side of the top plunger press end. I cut two circles of parchment paper that fit in the cylinder and use them over the press ends. They’re not exactly perfect circles. It’s easier than it sounds and no sticking with awesome end results. Cleans easily with rubbing alcohol. Only reason for the one star ding is because I was annoyed that I had to go to the store to fix it to make it work. Could have just been my luck that day and got that one product in the batch. But I would buy another one, if needed, and even recommend it, even with possibly needing a small modification. Very fairly priced, all things considered.

it presses ok you will have to use parchment paper between the presses as it will sometimes stick. There is a learning curve to this item. This is a good budget press. the T handle was a good add. I have seen units without the T handle I think pressing with one of them would not be an easy task.I think a highly polished stainless steel would have been a better choice.may have cost more.

This thing is pretty funny. I gathered up so much keife and can easily make good hash. There is another reviewer who makes a comment about his “process” and how he uses paraffin wax. I ordered that wax too since i thought it made sense. Well it doesn’t. You don't want wax pressed into your hash do you? Who would? I recommend lubricating it with a coconut oil or not at all. Heres MY process. Put the keife in and pack it down till its firm. Then press it as hard as you can, I recommend using pliers or vice grips to really get it. Then take that pressed piece out. Repeat the first step. Then take the first piece you pressed and put it back in with the remaining pressed hash, so now there is 2 pieces in the press. Press as hard as you can with the pliers again. Set your oven to its lowest setting and put the press in your oven. Wait about 7-10 mins. Now remove it and press as hard as humanly possible. You will notice you get a few more turns. Let cool a for 5 mins then place in freezer for 30 mins then remove. Should be approx 9 grams each time you do this. I have made a ton. Just remember brass is much more conductive than steel so do not leave it in the oven or freezer for to long. Rapid changes make the product go past the cylinder a small bit.

Crap plating

First time using it jammed. After getting it apart it was easy to see the issue on dowel and barrel. Ran some fine emery cloth through it and she fit nice and snug just like a finger in the girl friends %um. It is easy to use and does a nice job.

Works great. Here's my process:1. Rub the spacer, press piece and inside of tube with a thin layer of paraffin wax to prevent sticking.2. Screw the bottom cap on and slide the spacer to the bottom.3. Use a small funnel to fill the tube, I can fit 3.5g with a little tamping.4. Twist the screw for the T handle part all the way back and screw it's cap to the cylinder.5. Twist the T handle until it starts to resist, twist it back to relieve any binding, repeat until you can't twist any further.6. Heat the cylinder with a heat gun or similar. Don't heat too much or the oils will begin to run out past the spacer. Should be hot to the touch but not burning.7. Twist again until you can't twist any further.8. Place the whole unit in the freezer for about 10 minutes or so.9. Press out your beautiful little puck.Optional: If you twist down the handle when you take it out of the freezer you can get a little more press on it. Then reheat to expand the metal and it will compact a little more. Place it in the freezer again to solidify your puck.
