I am still old school when it comes to packing bearings. I still pack most by hand except the bearings that don't have retaining clips on the shields. It seems like a nice packer. Different concept, but the only drawback is that it doesn't accomodate a wide range of bearing sizes.

Looks like you could make it with a drill press. I like it.

Very good. I dint like the secind one much because I don't like putting any perpendicular forces on my bearings.

That first video is a really cool idea. All I have to do now is ask a friend at the machining shop to make one for me hehehe
