Will it float?

Yes, I saw the sets you posted and followed links from Keyes (which does not sell directly) to Allied and found that impact set. 1/2 ton arbor sounds just dandy. It's just drilling the ram that'll be the trick if I go that route.

Thanks.

Have you checked Mouser? I bought mine there. They have the 1715 for $12 or the TL-5 or TL-8 sets for $23.

Drilling the ram needed the mill. If you have some really good bits, cutting oil, and a lot of patience, you might be able to do it on a decent drill press...but I dunno. Don't drill too deep, measure 2/3 of the staking tool at most.
