Hornady LNL and Inline Fabrication

[Reeferman]

Been looking at getting one of their roller handles for my LNL. But not sure if I should go with the longer one or the shorter one.
On Inline site they have four different handles but the only two I'm interested in are the two Ergo ones. They recommend the shorter one for benches 38" or higher and my bench is 37".
I'm thinking that with the longer one I wouldn't have to lean down as much as with the shorter one.
So who has one these handles and how are they working?

Be interested in seeing the replies on this post. I just bought an LNL and was thinking about changing the handle.

My bench is 37" high also, I have the short handle on my LNL and it works fine. I also sit on a stool many times and it has a good feel. More leverage also.

I have one on my LNL and had one on my Lee turret. I love it. While sitting it makes it much more comfortable for me and seems like I don't need to use as much force on the downstroke.

I went with the short ergo so I don't have to push as far forward to prime the cases. I also have one of their LED kits and it really lights the cases up well. The bins are nice to and bigger than the one that come with the LnL.

Just last weekend, I mounted my L-N-L on the Ultramount and installed the short handle. The combination is PERFECT for reloading while standing up. The handle bottoms out without me hanving to bend my back at all -- I'm about 6'0''. I'm sure the short handle would work well while sitting but I would recommend that you have an adjustable height stool so you can fine tune the reach.

Thanks for all the replies. One thing though is I might also put the LNL on a lower bench so just not sure which one to go with. I had rotator cuff surgery a couple years ago and shoulder is much better but gets sore moving arm while running it.
If I'm reading Inlines description of the two handles the shorter one is only 3 inches shorter on the forward bend.
I also have one of their led light kits and works well.
Just have to make sure I get the right one as that $52.00 will be about $82.00 by the time I get it up here.

My bench height is at 34". I have the Inline Fabrication Ultra Mount (raises press up 10") and Short Ergo Handle. After removing the factory handle and installing the Short Ergo handle, it feels as if it take less effort reloading. The handle height feels the same as the stock, but at a different angle.

429turbo do you sit or stand with that setup? With my bench at 37". It's just right either standing or sitting for me.

I can do either. My chair will incline to 26" tall which to me is almost too short, but I am still eye level with the top of my dies.

Well it seems that the short handle is the most popular. So I guess that's what I will go with. Just hope that with it I won't have to bend when lifting ram.
