Hotronix Hat press - lifting piston
« on: April 24, 2022, 12:53:53 PM »
I need to replace the piston that lifts the head on the Hotronix hat press.  The old style press.
Anybody know who sells these?

Have you checked with Stahl's or your Stahl's dealer?
Otherwise, if you can just come up with the specs, an industrial supplier like McMaster-Carr will probably have something like it.

You probably have silmilar suppliers where you are.
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

If you have an auto parts store you can get to the gas lifters are typically some of the same used to lift car trunks, rear windows etc.
Replaced mine some time ago from Auto zone cost me about $20.00.
Here are some links that may help and naturally Amazon as mentioned above.
