My home press is a 12 ton that I paid about $150. It's fairly crude and made in China, but has never failed me. It was the smallest one available at a local place that's a Harbor Freight clone. Probably similar to Northern Industrial Tool. JC whitney has them, too.
When pressing out wheel bearings that have been in for awhile, I have to pull pretty hard on the pump lever so I wonder if a 6 ton is enough, but maybe that hard pull is only at the 2-3 ton level.
These look great in the garage and will definitely scare women and small children. With that in mind, I'd go for the 12 ton. :-))
