For those looking for fast case trimming at a bargain price, I recently discovered that Lee makes a 8/32 threaded cutter adapter for their manual case length gauges. And I read that the Hornady Case Prep Duo deburring and chamfering heads can be switched for any 8/32 threaded tool. So, I purchased the aforementioned during a Cabelas 10% off sale, getting the Case Prep Duo for $49.48, put the three together, and I've got a rechargeable use-anywhere power trimmer for around $66 (the Lee pieces are about $8 each). To switch out for another caliber, switching to another Lee case gauge at $8 is much cheaper than buying another World's Best Trimmer or other dedicated caliber trimmer.
Now, some of you will be thinking that I should have bought the Hornady Power Case Prep Trio ($112 @ 10% off) so that I could keep both the deburring and chamfer heads on as well as a trimmer gauge and you would be right....except that right now there is a Hornady promotion for a free box of 100 bullets to purchase the Case Prep Duo. So my $49.98 Case Prep Duo really cost about $15 after I receive the $34 value box of 150 grain bullets that I would have eventually purchased regardless. I couldn't turn it down.
Did I mention that all this was "free" since I used Cabelas credit card points (generated by the missus) for the whole purchase?
