This makes it sooo much easier than doing it by hand & ...drill, etc. It's sooo easy you can do it all by hand, and don't have to have any tools to hold the brass while prepping it for loads. I should have bought this a couple years ago. The only thing you might need extra is an adapter for the trim tool which I've seen a couple people selling them that makes them. Thanks for a great machine RCBS!

I have a lot of military brass with crimped primers and prior t...o purchasing the Trim Mate, all prep work consisting of removing mil crimps, inside/outside reaming, cleaning primer flash holes, and cleaning primer pockets was done by hand or by chucking tools into a drill where possible. Now, each case visits each of the 5 stations on the Trim Mate and it has cut my prep time immensely.

Best case prep station out there. Easy to ...use, comes with all you need to get started.Time saver, and works good for those with arthritic hands, which is why I wanted one in the first place. The spindle speed is just right and not to fast and just the right torque. Storage tray and stationary sockets work well also and will hold a variety of tools and brushes.

Bought this at a good price. Received it and... had a problem with the motor making a knocking noise. Unit still worked as intended but I sent it back to RCBS for them to look at it. Unit was fixed and returned to me quickly. RCBS is a great company to deal with. Even with the little hiccup I still rate this purchase as 5 Star. Unit still working as intended and working without that added knocking. Awesome product that saves a lot of time prepping your cases. Thanks again RCBS.

After I connected it to a step down transformer it worked well. I now have to get some brass to really make it work. I am very pleased with its initial test we did with it. A highly recommended item. Thanks
