The paper presents the construction of a multifunctional hand press that can be used for fastening products during assembly, driving pins, splitting chains and in other areas such as the textile or leather industry. The process of constructing a hand press from idea to finished product is presented. Based on analysis of already existing structural solutions on the market, the idea for creating the same was born. During the period of work, several conceptual variants of hand presses were made and certain improvements were made in order to achieve the satisfactory construction solution. Two structural solutions of the hand press were developed, where in the first structural solution the force is realized by means of a spindle and hand wheel, and in the second structural solution by means of a mechanism. An analytical calculation was carried out. The calculation of the forces and stresses acting on the structural elements of the press was performed. Technical documentation has been created, according to which it is possible to create and assemble a prototype version of the hand press.
