Which Case Trimmer???

[Realtree]

I'm looking to buy a easy and affordable case trimmer. What's some suggestions.

Affordable would be a lee. I like my lyman universal trimmer as well

I've got a Lyman as well. No complaints.

Here's a pic of mine, a Lyman with 9 pilots. Had it for over 25 years and just last summer replaced the cutting blade.

However. There are some very nice electric case trimmer tools that bear a hard look if you have the money or have that many cases to trim. Or, like me, my hand is cramping up a bit after an afternoon of trimming. Long term planning should come into play here because these things tend to last a long time.

I'm not sure how old my lyman is but I bought off a friend who got it in a package deal. The part that holds the shell in place was seized. After using wd40 and a lot of scrubbing I got it unseized. I replaced the springs and the cams that hold the shells. Mine is also blue if anyone can date it that far back

I to like the Lyman Pictured an there Power Model but I really like the one they have out with pilots an adaptor for a drill
I meant to take a pick of it earlier but didn't.

I've got the Lee, just set it up in my drill press and it works fine for me.

I chose the Forster because of it's flexibility. There are 3 different length bases that you can buy for different length cartridges. It's as simple as taking out 4 screws to change the base out. There is also an outside neck turner that can be purchased for it if you want to get into precission reloading.

I have a RCBS but I bet they are all good.

Lyman E-Z Hand Trimmer was the one I mentioned above. The Drill adaptor an Dewalt made this chore of over 500 nice.

I've tried a bunch and the forster is the best for me. I use the 3-1 tool which trims, and chamfers ID and OD.
