I finally bought a proper bearing press kit after years of using the old hammer and socket method...
It was about $180 for the full set with all the adapters. Had to replace the headset bearings on a customer's carbon gravel bike yesterday, the kind with the integrated cups. Using the hammer always made me nervous, especially with carbon. The press just slid them in perfectly straight, first try, no fuss. Took maybe ten minutes total. Why did I wait so long to get one... Anyone have a favorite brand for the smaller bearing drifts, or do you just make your own?

That $180 press is a life upgrade.

My cheap coffee press broke last week, baker.phoenix, so I get the hype.
