| I concur. I bought extra heads to hold different shell holders. That makes it easier to change to a different cartridge.

| I have looked at the Sinclair tool for some time. Question if you have to load the primers one at a time into the priming tool, isn't there increased risk for primer contamination? Or am I just being paranoid? |

| I always wash my hands before handling primers to ensure the primers are not contaminated by oil or dirt.
Before using a hand priming tool, I used the adapter included with my Rock Chucker press. I've loaded 1000s of rounds this way over the years (pistol and rifle) and haven't had a problem with primer contamination. |

| Knowing Siclair, I'm sure it's a fine piece of equipment. However, priming is not that complex of an operation, and any upside the Sinclair tool may offer is far outweighed, in my book, by the convenience and speed of any of the tray-fed tools. Contamination doesn't really concern me, but picking up each individual primer is simply making things harder and more time-consuming than they need to be. Maybe the Sinclair tool minimizes primer runout, if there is such a thing.  My $0.02, RSY |

| You manually feed primers one at a time, and it costs $100.00 to boot?
I'm sure it's nice and everything, especially if someone bought it for you for Christmas, but doesn't that seem just a little overvalued? |

Honestly, for a hand held priming tool that feeds primers 1 at a time, it's quite expensive. As advertised, primer feel when seating is superb! There are tools out there for 1/10th the cost that will perform the same operation; however, if you look at the material, workmanship, design, etc. it's a beautiful tool. It's almost a shame to use it! 
I would suspect that if you take into account the labor, material, etc. to make the tool, Sinclair is not making a large profit on the sale.
Am I happy Santa dropped one off at my house... you bet!!!  |

| I've been looking at the Sinclair tool for years! Maybe someday, until then my trusty Lee will have to do.
