Not sure what you mean by "production environment" ?? I have the BHJ tool but usually grab my good old K-line most of the time. I got the BHJ in a trade with a customer and it works nice but to be honest with you it is slow and I cant say that it does any better of a job than the K-line with a big hammer.

The other thing with the BHJ is that you have to buy or make different mandrels for each bearing size. I made a couple for the late model Hemis and the LS with the big front bearing.

After having it for a while now I would probably not recommend it for everyday use. I rarely use it and I probably do 3 sets of bearings a week ?

Just my opinion,

What I meant by a production environment is working on different makes of engines. Yes, I agree, it takes time to set up and is slow.

Ok. I just cant imagine using it on a day to day basis. I would think it would be great and almost imperative for roller bearings and it does make the big Late Hemi VVT bearings a lot easier but otherwise I dont think its worth it.

If you make or have someone solid mandrels for your popular sizes,It will be a little faster.
