The crazy thing is I spend most my time on my hardtail too. If I had one bike that was an FS I shudder to think how much I’d be working on it.
I own the Wheels MFG press. Mine goes back to the first run. I ordered it right away after seeing it at Interbike and I think it’s a fantastic tool. It’s a much bigger investment than the Boca though.
I see the Boca filling a niche between the pro-tool and DIY solutions (nuts, washers, sockets, threaded rod).
I have a bench mounted vice which can be all you need for many bearing applications but it’s a luxury I know many folks don’t have.
