Good for you. I don't need the broach set but the HD arbor press = hard to pass up.

I'd like to thank @Winegrower for enabling my TAD. It was good to meet him and get to see his shop and projects.
The arbor press is interesting, it came with a large aluminum base-plate, aluminum channel risers and an air-cylinder attached to the handle and base-plate. No idea what the purpose of all this was, obviously some special purpose repetitive work. With some modifications it will allow enough throat to accommodate the 1/4 and 3/8 broaches. It also came with a very nice shop made platen.

Ya, looks like someone converted it to a 'push-button' arbor press at one point

No-name, a well known Chinese (or maybe Indian) brand.
