I'm going lowbrow, macho, blue collar with this. 'Crusher' ....
'Smash'  .... or sci fi superhero : 'Dr. Destructo'....  The Metallic Mauler...  'Captain Compactor' .... or Heavy Metal  ..  'Platens of Doom'....  'Hydraulic Death Machine' .... Bonecrusher, etc.

Maybe "The Artful Smasher"  (Lee is The Artful Bodger...  'bodger' being a uk term describing one who rigs things together).

So far I don't like any names for my presses. Oh well.
