I broke another Lee Auto-Prime Last Night. This is the second - maybe third - I've broken! I can't remember which. Here is a photo of the POS gadget next to one of the old and reliable Lee prime tools that I've used since I bought it new ~ 1972.
I wonder why Lee can't make cheap pot metal junk as sturdy as they formerly did? and yes..., the links were all lubricated properly - and no..., I did not apply too much pressure to the thumb lever - only enough to properly seat the primer.
I used to be a big fan of Lee's entry-level equipment - but no more. I'm now disgusted with their reloading dies and cheap aluminum bullet moulds, too. Skip the Lee junk and buy something that will last a lifetime!
