Jack you're right. I should keep buying lee equipment. I'm sure it isn't a sign of poor quality that half the lee equipment i've bought over the last year has had something wrong with it. When it breaks or doesn't fit i should just drive into town and return it. Selling the crap and buying tools that are actually well designed and made is a silly idea. I'm glad you talked me out of it.
I knew you would take my post personally even though I didn't mean for you to. All I was trying to convey to you is that you are apt to have problems with any manufacturer. I just thought there was a very simple solution to your problem and thought you might have over reacted. I am in a different boat than you, I have all Lee equipment except my RCBS powder trickler and my RCBS bullet puller and have never had any trouble with the LEE equipment at all. Boy, I just don't know how lucky I am.
I really like my RCBS bullet puller. Now, let me tell you about my RCBS powder trickler.
It's works but the little shaft thing a majiggy that they put on the shaft that keeps the shaft in the body of the trickler isn't worth a ****. It aggravates me to death, it just won't stay put. Now I could take the attitude that half of my RCBS stuff is junk and not recommend their stuff to anybody but when I finally get fed up with it I will figure out a fix and cure the problem it has once and for all.
All is not lost, at least Questor found amusement from your post and I could be wrong but if memory serves me right he has a distaste for Lee equipment as you do. If I am wrong about this I am sure he will correct me on this. Just can't figure out why you kept buying this Lee junk so long.
I know I won't buy any more RCBS stuff because half of it that I have purchased I am not happy with. Their Powder trickler has shown me what kind of quality they are capable of.
