Primer tool

I use the lee and the problem with them is the quality of the metal. It is cast junk. It wears quickly or breaks or both. The roller that pushes up the primer ram is so soft it wears a groove in it that has to be ground away. When a primer turned crossways once I broke off a lever. It's pot metal with a pretty chrome coating.

I manage by keeping a tube of white lithium grease handy but it's IS cheap crap. If I were younger I might change to another system but as it is ..it's working if I baby it.
