Just for the heck of it I snapped a quick video earlier today with my cell
phone.  Just for you.  Realistically the hydraulic unit is about as fast as
the electric one.  I assure you I didn't pay $3K for it either.  I think It
was $189, and I spent another 70 or so on a small die set because the main
kit didn't come with one for 1/2"
