A little press I bought.

Not even knowing yet what variety of grape I'm growing (see http://www.winemakingtalk.com/forum/f21/hi-ct-help-31366/ ), I stumbled across this press and had to be it's new owner. It's small, but there's only so many grapes and a good amount of other fruit on the property.

Do you think it will be a pain to turn when it's full? The handle mcbobber seems skimpy. Any wise suggestions? I bet there are.

Looks fine to me, if you need more torque from it you can just put a pipe over the handle. I do that on my water filter wrench handle as it likes to get stuck after being on for awhile!

That press looks brand new. Hope you got a nice deal. Good luck!

I have one just like and it works fine.

The only problem is that you have to go slow as the channel for juice collection will overflow easily. I also clamp mine to the table on an angle because the juice will tend to run back under it because of the watythe spout is.

That guy will work just fine. Unless you make a lot of wine (and have the bucks), a small press will do the job and store away easily.
