I finally broke down and bought one of these. I wish I had done it years ago! This thing is fantastic. I really hate preping brass. This tool makes it effortless. I also bought the military primer crimp remover as well as the primer pocket uniformer. In just seconds this thing will:
1. Chamfer the outside of the case neck.
2. Chamfer the inside of the case neck.
3. Remove the primer crimp, (military cases).
4. Square the bottom of the primer pocket and remove any radius.
It also comes with 2 rotary wire brushes to clean any residue from the primer pocket. It is very quiet when running. If you hate preping brass as much as I do, you'll love this tool. Cabela's has them on sale for $92.00. The military primer crimp remover and primer pocket uniformer run around $30.00 for both tools. The best thing is Melanie likes it! I resize and deprime, and she does the rest. When she's done I tumble until they are nice and polished, then run them thru my Dillon and they are nicer then factory ammo. I've got many 5.56 cases to process and this will make it a snap. Bill T.

It's an excellent time saver and it helps alleviate the arthritis in my hands. I doubt I'd be reloading as much as I do if I didn't own one. It makes life much easier for me and prepping brass doesn't seem as tedious any more.

I've said it here more than once, I got mine as part of a package deal buying used equipment. Never would have bought one retail. Now I know better. Vey handy tool, especially for removing primer pocket crimps.

Man I am jealous, all I have is the power trimmer with the three way cutters and the neck turner.

This is the greatest tool since the power trimmer was invented.
