Default The final items.... case trimming

Almost have all my items for the new reloading room. Just thinking of case trimming now. Was considering the LE Wilson case trimmer with the locking shell holder. What do you all recommend or what works well for you?

Thanks all

Buy the wilson plus any case holders and never think twice. They are the best.

I had the little LEE hand tool, now I have a Lyman bench-top/hand crank one...which I thought would be amazing. It's pretty decent, but in recent months I've been considering an upgrade. So, long story short...get the best you can afford and don't look back. I may be on my 3rd case trimmer soon...so buy once/cry once. lol

The RCBS universal case prep tool works for me. It trims, chamfers and cleans primer pockets quickly.

Had them all. Consider Frankfort Arsenal Trim center. Only one that gets used now. Fast and precise,reasonable price. Wish I bought it first.

Sinclair/Wilson combo unit is what I use. Hand crank but consistent trim length every time!

Just got a Wilson myself recently. I’m quite liking it. Can definitely appreciate the merits of the FA prep station mentioned above.
