Good quality trimmer for 33 bucks. I have the more expensive lyman trimmer with the "universal" chuck. Had to replace the Chuck. 22$ from lyman. It's flimsy. This case trimmer uses standard shell holders from all manufactures.Fits right in trimmer and holds any shell firmly. It will never need replaced. It holds the shell firmly, any shell, as long as you have the correct shell holder. (except 50 cal) This is what makes ita great trimmer. It will last forever. Yeah it takes a lil longer to do alot of cases. But, it's worth in the long run. It even comes with the collets . Great deal.

This trimmer is a rugged machine and it is reasonably priced. It's a basic design and the use of regular shellholders is a big plus rather than fooling around with pilots. I put it to work on 2000 overlength 30-30 cases and it sailed right thru them. It's now working thru another 2000 '06 cases. The cutter is still sharp and doing its job. Trimming cases is not an interesting job and this trimmer doesn't make it go any faster; if you're in a rush go with a power driven unit, but this one is a solid value and the quality is good

Not as fancy as the more expensive models, but does an excellent job. Found it to trim very accurately. A great buy for the money.

Buy the Forster, you'll be happy. Too much slop to square cases let alone turn necks.

I’ve had mine since the mid 90's. I haven't had to replace any parts yet and the cutter still works well. As others have said, there is some slight "play" in the unit due to loose tolerances. Not a bad pick for the price though. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for an entry level case trimmer.

For a cheap trimmer, this one is worth its money though I'm not overly happy with it. There are a few positives. It's cheap. It will work with the same shellholders you use in an RCBS press as well as the Lyman shellholders. Pilots and other components are cheap. The negatives have already been mentioned in other reviews. It will NOT cut the cases square. One side of the case will be 0.003 inches longer on one side, usually more, than the other side. Adjustment is absolutely tedious and does not hold. Tiny Allen screws are used for everything and it is wise to have some on hand for replacements you'll inevitably need. The cutter is still fairly sharp after a few thousand cases cut. Beginners might find this trimmer o.k. for small lots of brass but veteran reloaders will definitely upgrade as I am currently looking for a new trimmer.

Bought this based on manufacturers claim of accuracy and because I found it on sale. Well for some who aren't really concerned about "accuracy" it'll do fine. I'm not a benchrest shooter but I do enjoy consistency. Two areas of inconsistency are immediately inherent with this unit, first is the .002 of run out between the shaft and the shaft support with the shaft extended to approximately half it's travel toward the shell holder. This run out translates to .004" play considering the rotational path while turning the handle resulting in out of square cases. Second the pilot retained by a set screw forces the pilot stud against the pilot stud bore opposite the set screw, which would be Ok if the fit between the stud and the bore were significantly closer. The one I have this difference is .0015", translating into .003" additional rotational error possible. Factor the "fine adjustment" set screw riding on the end of the shaft support and the inconsistent rim thickness of shell cases the tolerance for "accuracy" grows even larger. I've had instances of out of square case mouths run as much as .0035" and overall length variations as much as .004" not too bad considering the total possible error. This is a good unit for what I consider rough trimming. The finish is great and ease of use fair. It takes time to use and one needs to practice with it on junk cases to learn how to trim with it for best accuracy, I found that by allowing the case to rotate a bit in the shell holder every once in a while the level of squareness could be held tolerable.

Stop collar for adjusting length of cut slips. Cutter head seems to be dull. Called Lyman and they did not sound surprised that I was having trouble. Immediately agreed to send replacement parts to me at their cost. Wish I had bought the Lee Zip Trim and case length gauge/shellholder instead.

Once again from Lyman, this is junk. It does not produce any repeatable results. All the cases I trimmed in this varied a bit. Spend more and get a better unit.
