Revainrating 5 out of 5

Really good but for hand and power tools

Let me start by saying that it is amazingly accurate and gives unexpected repeatable results. Pretty quick and easy to set up. Therefore it is not a 5 star product and maybe not worth buying. 1) Everything works with the shank of the tools, which has some punch. The fact is that your size has some fluctuations. It's not bad, but noticeable. 2) 2 camps - nonsense. With this tool, you will feel the cutting action when the smooth body is cut. Is my job done? Yes, the bearings are loose. Sealed…

Pros
  • USER FRIENDLY: Universal collet system indexes on sleeve arms ensure accurate and consistent trimming
Cons
  • Not sure

A very poorly assembled and crappy cutter, but salvageable.

The knife is blunt and made of cheap mild steel. It takes more than 20 seconds to cut a 223 case. Fortunately, it can be replaced with an RCBS carbide bur. Next, the roller bearings on the shaft come loose, which is why brass filings get into them. This makes the whole device rattle and feel like sand when cutting. Fortunately, this can be fixed. Remove circlip, pull out shaft. Remove the cutter (left blank). Remove roller bearing. Thoroughly clean the bearings and shaft, then lubricate…

Pros
  • DURABILITY: Heavy-duty hardened stainless steel blade stays sharp through thousands of cycles.
Cons
  • Some insects.

Slightly tricky to set up

This is the third product I have purchased for trimming cartridges. In my case I only use it for .300 AAC Blackout, mostly for cases I cut from .223 Rem or 5.56 NATO brass. I like the easy setup of the trimmer. Choose the correct shim for the caliber, choose a sleeve that fits snugly in the body but slides in and out easily, and you're ready to trim. However, adjusting the depth is not as easy as promised. Once installed, results will also be affected by how much pressure is used to hold the…

Pros
  • PRECISION: Built in depth micrometer allows for micro adjustments and brass shavings ejection port ensures a clean cut
Cons
  • Will add later
