I glued a golf ball sized knob on the end of my press handle to make it more comfortable to use (pics in threads mentioned above), but bending was not an issue. Sounds like you now have the heavy duty Oregon models that are also good for harvester chain:

If you only use one or tow sizes / types of chain, it is pretty easy to keep up with the presets (repair links). If you scrounge and work on used chains or for others, that can be a challenge. I root around on eBay periodically to look for presets, but if anyone has 'orphaned' presets or tie straps from chains they no longer use, I am interested in 'adopting' them!

Since I’ve never done this I going to ask, mostly Run 3/8, .050 Chain. If I have 1 or 2 donors lying around I can tear them apart for usable parts?
