I'm think that for south of £50 or £100 if you take the possibly steel one, it's going to be better than my QR bodgery.

A hub service is around £20, so it would pay for itself relatively quickly,especially if you’re buying the bearings online, providing the drifts are correctly machined and the press doesn’t break. It’s not difficult to turn aluminium blanks into drifts with 1mm increments, so a Chinese factory could probably make a reasonable product without fancy finishes for that price.

FWIW the park tool set comes with a QR skewer for pressing the smaller bearing sizes.

Accurately machined drifts are what you really want. Mind sharing the link? (Have just seen your message above)
£19+£19 postage to London, still not a bad deal. Has a good spread of drift sizes, would need to have a closer look to see exactly what’s included.
Park Tool’s offering for comparison. Based on their weight, I’m nearly certain PT drifts are not steel.
