Update: Bought a $60 bearing press for my home shop and it's been worth every penny
I was trying to install a new headset on a customer's gravel bike last month and was still using the old threaded rod and washers method. It was always a bit fiddly and I never felt like I got perfect alignment. I finally bit the bullet and got the proper press. The first time I used it, the cups went in straight and smooth in about 30 seconds with zero stress. It's one of those tools you don't think you need until you have it. What other 'single use' tools have you guys found actually pay for themselves?

That "zero stress" part is so real. What was the worst job you did with the old method before you got the press?
