Never used one myself. Seen others who have. Anyone have any input into the longevity of this device?

Good deal for sure

I have had mine about 2 weeks and deprimed about 200 38s, probably 500 9mms with a few rifle cartridges. After a couple hundred squeezes, the hand levers take a toll on the hands. I've been thinking of some ace bandage wrap on the squeeze lever. only had a few 9mm brass get stuck and require disassembly to remove.

It does feel pretty solid though, and much easier and quicker than my lee hand press for depriming.

*also, every few rounds, ensure the primer tube is secure. it makes a hell of a mess when the full tube pops off and dump primers all over your lap.

I wonder if the primer tube could be replaced with something like a plastic water bottle. Just from the pic the size seems close. Though a bottle full of primers might be more than you want to balance. It might not back out as easy though. Just empty it when it is 1/4 full or so.

Im sure something could be fixed up. Maybe one of them tiny water bottles would be a decent size. The tube is only pressed into the frame, so I guess as long as its snug.. I thought about a small ziplock style bag on the end of the tube so the primers dont spill out the front hole when I set it down to grab my tasty beverage or whatever.

Same here. I sit and deprime throwing cases directly into my FA SS media tumbler. I have deprimed calibers .380 through 3006. Do not go "Jethro" on some military crimped brass. If this will not deprime it I generally toss that brass.
At this price I purchased a back up. My first one cost $65.00.

Agree

I have deprimed thousands of brass from 25 auto up to 338 Win mag. Only complaint is the squeeze handle is deep ribbed and will hurt after a few hundred. I'd buy another if I needed one and I played close to $50 for mine.

 

[Horn Ridge]

In all seriousness though, if you regularly deprime 100+ cases at a time, skip this and go straight to a LEE APP.

I like mine, sit in front of the TV watching ball can go through a bunch quick. As others have said make sure the primer catch is on tight! Made a nice mess first time using it!

A 3 FOOT PIECE OF SOFT OR FLEXIBLE TUBING THE SIZE OF THE BOTTLE WITH THE OPEN END STUCK INTO A GALLON JUG, WORKS GREAT.
