I had used the hand trimming tools, works good - lasts a long time, but highly tedious when trimming more than 100 cases. I then upgraded the case holder to a LEE Zip Trim, liked it so much that I bought a second one when I wore it out after about 1,200 cases. If the internal return-spring doesn't break, the plastic hub will. The Zip Trim worked very well with the LEE 3-Jaw Chuck, once you got the feel for using it, but if you need to trim over 500 cases, it is very time consuming. Loving the LEE reloading products, I went for the Quick Trim system - best trimming system in the LEE catalog by far. I picked ip the Value not the Deluxe, trims consistently within 0.001". I have dies for .30-06, .223 Rem, 45 ACP & 9mm Luger. I've heard trimming pistol cartriges is unnecessary, but I beg to difer. If you intend on crimping your pistol reloads or expecting any kind of consistency, you want your cases to be the same length, with minimal variations in length. I recommend lightly coating the cutter diameter, not the cutting face itself, with WD-40, to get a smmoth crank and improve feel of the trim being complete. You should wipe off the WD-40 after about 50-100 cases, depending on the case, then re-applying the light coat of WD-40. Instructions don't ask you to do this, but It helps me get a better feel. A typical rifle case, assuming you are removing about 0.015, will take about 5 turns of the crank. I had no interest in a lathe-style case trimmer because of having to install the case onto the case holder, where the Quick Trim is just slid onto the case holder as if sizing the case, simply a quick and essy process. Hope this helps you!Read full review

So much easier cut case prep time in half and easy to set up. If you want consistent case size the only way to go

I haven’t gotten around but I’m sure that it will do what it’s supposed to do. I load both magnum rifle and pistol cartridges. My entire outfit is all Lee Precision.

Product is built of good quality,but is not needed on the .45 acp as the cartridge doesn't stretch to need trimming
