Got it yesterday after waiting on back-order
Video of it Here
This may not be for all, as it is not as fast as others on the market... but anyway
This takes a little time to set up and get used to using
I like it. It is FAR better than standing in my 140 degree garage using a bench press that is not really perfect for this step
The leverage is silly (in a good way), I mean you could seat a primer to China if you wanted to
They talk about "the feel".. yeah, that too
I am no expert on using this, but after priming many K's of primers my old way, this is a blessing
Seating is already more consistent, I can tell, which should help with those occasional "Fliers". Just saying.

Nice. I have never owned this tool, but it looks very well made.

When you get a chance to try a Lee tool, the one which holds the primers in the gravity feed tray, I would like to hear your impression of the two tools.

I have been at this long enough to have worn out several Lee tools and love them.

I tried several others along the way, but find the Lee is very handy. It also has the "feel" with the added benefit that you don't have to handle the brass or primers as much.

Like to hear if your precision numbers improve with the primer seating becoming more consistent.

Good Luck.

Me too.... But I'll probably never try the Lee to tell you the difference, I'm stubborn that way

That's a damn fine looking tool. Something tells me it's not going to wear out any time soon.

I wish someone would come out with a quality tool like that with a feeder system, I don't like the idea of handling all my primers by hand.

They already have, I have this one and it's light years above any of the other hand tools I have(Lee, RCBS, & Hornady), it has the same great feel, leverage, and silky smooth operation as the Sinclair tool but feeds from a tray which I prefer, the only down side(if you call it that) is you have to have an old Lee hand priming tool to get the tray from since Lee doesnt make the round trays anymore and the square trays with the safety punch are junk and aggravating to use(I used the square tray for a while before I found someone that had a new old style Lee priming tool that they broke the handle on right after buying).

Love this tool, the primer seating depth adjuster is over rated but once set it does adjust the handle position to the perfect location for max leverage and comfortable use, the shape of the handle fits the curve of your thumb perfectly making extended use a pleasure.
