Bought a cheap headset press from an online auction, it bent on the first use.
It was a no-name brand and cost me about $40, which seemed like a good deal at the time. The aluminum arms flexed so much pressing a standard 1 1/8 headset that the cups went in crooked and I had to start over with my old threaded rod method. What's the least you've spent on a tool that actually held up for this job?

My buddy gave me a press he made from scrap steel pipe, total cost was a six pack of cheap beer. It's ugly but it hasn't quit yet, unlike my first try with a bent aluminum one lol.

Remember aluminum bends way easier than steel.
