Very Good Sturdy Unit
By John C. Mckissick
This product is good for the money. I was hoping it would help with some front wheel bearings but 3 tons wasn't even close wo what I needed. I have used for a variety of other minor jobs and it does what I expect it to do.

The Arbor itself is fine,just don't order it from Amazon, they don't know how to ship it.
By Tony Fabris
I purchased the Jet AP-3 3 Ton Arbor Press from Amazon as a Christmas gift for a family member. I arrived at our home on the night it was delivered, to find it lying in our driveway in front of the garage door, sitting in a wet pile of leaves in the rain, the box torn and mangled, pieces of the arbor protruding from the ragged gaping holes.
Apparently, at shipping time, the arbor had been placed into a plain cardboard box, with no padding or internal support at all. The box contained:
- The arbor, in a clear plastic bag.
- The instruction manual, in a clear plastic bag.
That's all: No padding, no shaped styrofoam, no bubble wrap, no internal cardboard support structures, nothing. Just the arbor, its manual, and air.
Since the arbor is essentially a very heavy piece of oddly-shaped cast iron (I'm guessing maybe somewhere between 50 and 100 pounds of weight?), there was no way this flimsy cardboard box could possibly have held it. Of course it tore right through the box the instant the first FedEx employee tried to pick it up. Examining the box more closely, we could see that it had torn through the box and been re-taped more than once during its difficult journey. Clearly FedEx tried to do their best, and were just fed up with it by the time it arrived at our house. I get the feeling the poor driver just dropped it off the back of the truck and ran.
I can't blame FedEx here. The problem was that the item was simply not packaged for shipping. The way it was packaged, there was no way this could have survived shipment unscathed.
I called Amazon and confirmed: 1. Yes, this order was specifically fulfilled by Amazon, not by any other third party company. In other words, the item was in stock at an Amazon warehouse and was shipped by Amazon employees. 2. Yes, the shipper was Federal Express, not a smaller third party company. This surprised me because I have come to expect more from both of those companies.
In the end, the arbor is usable. It's hard to damage a giant piece of cast iron. One of the adjustment knobs had its plastic casing damaged, and a steel shaft that's supposed to hold the circular pressure plate centered has gone missing. But those are things we can replace ourselves, and so we're going to keep it as-is. Besides, the return process would be a nightmare, and, apparently we got the last one Amazon had in stock, so they can't replace it directly.
To their credit: Amazon's customer service department was very helpful on the phone and has done everything they can to make it right. Their employees were friendly, understanding, communicative, honest, and helpful. They filed a report with FedEx for me, and filed a separate report to their own internal shipping department for me. Then they issued a $55.00 promotional credit to my account to help compensate for the trouble.
