- Dulytek® DM1005 Clamshell Manual Heat Press
Dulytek® DM1005 is a sleek and affordable half ton clamshell style manual press that applies 1550 pounds of force to its 3 by 5 inch dual heat solid aluminum plates. Lighter than its predecessor, the DM1000, but sturdier and more powerful, the press features an adjustable pressure knob and a locking lever mechanism for applying maximum pressure without continuous use of manual force as well as two-channel temperature and timer controller. The temperature controls can be easily adjusted to show settings in Fahrenheit or Celsius depending on your preferences and select temperature for each plate separately. The DM1005 is easy to use, and it comes with a complimentary starter kit that includes all the basic tools and accessories necessary to start pressing right away: two collection tools, non-stick silicone mat, 10 sheets of parchment paper, 3 ml storage jar, and four magnets.
The machine is available in two versions: 110V for North American and 220V for European and Australian customers. Please note that the 220V presses are not shipped to US and Canada addresses.

Hundreds of runs and very happy with performance. Never had a problem with my unit. I skipped using bags a long time ago and the results are good. I went through 5 screw type puck makers because the threads strip after a while. I got the one they sell here and use a big c clamp to press it. It's going to last longer than I live. Heavy Duty is an understatement. A strong arm is needed to do it right but it wont leak like hydraulic presses do. Adjust the knob before you drop the lever or you might have problems. It's not made to screw it down to get maximum pressure after the lever is down. A drop of oil on those threads will make them last but just a tiny bit. Good Luck with your work and Thank You Dulytek employees.
Best investment ever! Very easy to operate clean design absolutely cherish it thank you dulytek!
I was really looking forward to this being the ideal home hot press but have discovered that it has a basic design flaw. Unless you are a champion arm wrestler or body builder the plastic pressure knob is useless for most people. It is impossible to crank the knob to max pressure without the use of a tool. I chose channel locks as my tool of choice and it worked ok...for a while. Eventually the knob loosened itself from the threaded rod and I ended up having to use the channel locks lower down on the actual threaded rod. Not impressed at this point!! I believe with a bit of tweaking Dulytek could have a winner but at the moment it isn't. Purchased on Amazon.ca
Bought the Dulytek Clamshell and it is missing a bolt that holds the plate on. I am having a hell of a time getting bolt Never will I Buy any More Dulytek Trash
This review is a edit to my prior review. I submitted a complaint on the product I purchased. Received a reply a day later which made me give a 5 star review. Thanks dulytek for your outstanding customer service. I can now recommend you to my friends and others for your products and also be a return customer. It’s good to see that people still care about repeat business!

Hey, can I modify the DM1005 model to change it from the manual hand press to adding a hydrologic pump? I'm 6ft and decently strong, but using the DM1005 is a pain in the ass. I should have spent more time researching this model before buying it. The ones with a hand jack are so much better and the automatic press ones are even better. Hopefully it can be upgraded and I don't have to end up buying a different model and brand.
This model was designed to be a manually operated press. Unfortunately, it cannot be modified to fit a hydralic pump.
