Installing new bushings

I bought the superpro bushing kit for the rear of the car. Typically I just burn/chisel out old bushings but since I'm doing over basically the whole car I was hoping for a more efficient method. Thought about investing in a HF bushing press

Anyone have experience with this kind of tool, is it overkill?

That's certainly ideal if you have the garage space to spare. Should make the job fairly easy.

If you have a space to keep it, it could come in handy. If you're probably never going to use it again, it'll probably be cheaper to just take the parts to a shop and have them do the press work.
