Question What hydraulic press to buy: 6T 12T or 20T?

Here is a question for all the professional mechanics on here,

I am contemplating buying a hydraulic press. I will initially use it on bushings and wheel bearings (Honda Accord, and Integra suspension work).

I was looking at cheap 6T or 12T Harbor freight one. Is it more than enough for our cars too? (i.e. clutch bearing...)

Is there any job on the 993, that would ever require a weekend mechanic like me to use a 20T press? Yes, bigger is always better, but the 20T really takes too much space, and saving a few bucks would not hurt me these days.

Cheers,

6T should be all you need...that's what I use for everything...suspension bushings, bearing removal/install for gearboxes/carriers, etc.
