Customer Reviews

John

"I started my custom bootmaking workshop with a Tenghong manual sole press and an eyelet machine. Five years on, they are still running perfectly. They are built like tanks—incredibly sturdy and reliable. For a one-person operation like mine, they provide all the power I need without any complicated electronics. The best value for money I've found."

Sarah Li

"We use Tenghong manual presses for small repair jobs and custom orders in our larger factory. They are perfect for tasks that don't justify running the big automated line. They're simple, never break down, and every operator knows how to use them instantly. A fantastic supplement to our main production."
