Thinking of buying this product to speed up reloading process. Has anyone had any experience using this product and is it worth the money? Any input will be appreciated.

I have had mine for a couple of months now and I really like it. Not only is it faster but it does a very good job of chamfering and cleaning primer pockets.

I have had mine since they came out.  I use it to de-bur inside/outside of cases, clean primer pockets, uniform primer pockets, clean flash holes, deburr flash holes, and even have a base to spin cases as they anneal.  Don't know how I ever lived without it.

If you properly prep your brass before reloading, the Trim Mate is probably the best time saving device you can buy.  Brass trimming is the most tedious boring part of reloading.

A ways back Graybeard recommended them and I finally got one 6 months ago.  It is THE WAY TO GO.  Nothing but good to say about mine.

Great little tool!

I use mine for de-burring flash holes on new cases, cleaning the inside of fired case necks (after tumbling), cleaning primer pockets, and chamfering the inside and outside case necks on new cases.

I just wish it was a little heavier and a lot quieter.  (No, I don't have it screwed to the reloading bench...)
