What one item on your bench you cant do without

Bench vice

I mount my case trimmer, bullet sizer, little Lee press on it.
Vice is used when maintaining my bullet molds and I used to use it to hold my powder measure.
Vice is used to hold stuck dies, etc.
 
I'll agree with the Imperial sizing wax. I tried the pad and lube and hated it. I tried the spray lube and hated it as well. I ordered a tin of Imperial and WOW! That's the best $8 I've ever spent. I'll never go back to the old ways again. Man it's great.

I gotta say +1 to the stool and the bins, along with some good shelving to sort out all the stuff. If I could get a digital powder dispenser, I would think that would be on the short list of important stuff.



Ohh, and to all those who hate the digital stuff, help a poor college student out! haha I accept all digital trash in the dumpster known as my garage!
 
In spite of my best efforts, apparently I can't live without one of the two cats sitting in the corner of the bench watching every move I make.....

(I'm pretty sure she reports back to the OTHER cat - and when they can finally figure out how to sabotage me even though they are inflicted WITHOUT "opposable thumbs" - I'll be toast)

I'm a'skeert.

:eek:
 
I guess with all of the gadgets and gizmos that I have,my RCBS chargemaster is something I would hate to be without.I used a ballance beam scale and trickler for years,and still can,but I really like the Chargemaster.I also have a Giraud trimmer that I really like,but it is only set up for the things that I load the most.

I guess the thing I couldn't do without is an electronic scale.
If mine died I'd be at the store tomorrow buying a new one.

I'd eat macaroni & chicken all week & go all month w/o a beer.
But I gotta have my electronic scale.

Ya, I know, there's some of you who'd rather stand naked in a snow storm than use an electronic scale.
 
Every-time I enter the room, I always seem to be reaching for the *vernier caliper* to measure something.

From previous posts, it looks like I need some feeler gauges.
 
Giraud trimmer

trimming brass was my nightmare until I got one, I couldn't go without it now, ultimately want one for every calibre I shoot. I really really really dislike manually trimming brass.

calipers/imperial sizing wax are more of a functional 'can't do without'.
 
Hmmm... The following tools work very well for me, and have unique features that similar tools don't.

Forster Co-Ax press
RCBS Universal Hand Primer
Wilson Case Trimmer
Hornady Cam-lock bullet puller

THE ONE THING in my reloading shed I ABSOLUTELY CAN'T DO WITHOUT is the overhead light.
I never heard of blind people reloading so I guess trying to do it in the dark would be about the same thing.
 
After a lot of thinking I have to say it's my visor type magnifier. I slip that puppy on over my bald head first thing when I sit down to the bench. Getting tough on the old eyes to read head stamps and inspect for split case mouths and such.
 
+1 for light, I had to get it just right for scale viewing, etc.
+1 for stool, you were readin my mind Win..
+1 for calipers, (and the feeler gauge on the other end) yeahhh!

I'll add my trusty pair of forceps... turns out I'm usin them like every time I'm at the bench!

hopefully soon I'll add a bullet puller! hehehe

Ohh yeah, love mah stripper clips too :)

You guys are great, -Bry out.
