Re: Neck turning equipment
Just as long as you stay away from the Forster handheld. My case holder lasted 3 cases.... HTH, Dutch.

I have both the Sinclair and the Wilson. I find myself using the Wilson 90% of the time. Sinclair is nicer when doing just a few, but the Wilson is the ticket when doing many. Nice thing about the Wilson Neck Turner is that you can get the trimmer cutter/reamers, etc., and have a multi-purpose unit. Bad thing is that you will probably need a case holder for each caliber, unless you have 'like' calibers (270/30-06, etc.). Whatever you choose, I feel the Sinclair expander mandrel body and mandrels are a must; get the standard and .001 oversize for each caliber you turn. Negative about them? The Wilson doesn't offer anything bigger than a 30 cal and Sinclair only makes mandrels to .338. Had a .373 and .374 mandrel made up for the Sinclair for use with my .375 H&H by a gunsmith--ouch!

anyone use the Lyman that is used with their trimmer.

I would only use a trimmer for neck turning as I really like the Lee case length trimming tools - simple and efficient design.

K&M, electric screwdriver, and an extra battery pack

Agreed, K&M plus electric screwdriver. Very nice piece of kit and very consistant results with the wide variety of cases I load. If you do get one (K&M), purchase the expanderiron with mandrel for your calibre as well.

Bajabill, the lyman tool used with their trimmer is junk. I tried it and probably ruined as many cases as I turned properly
Can't comment on the K&M but I have the Sinclair tool and it took most of the hassle's out of case neck turning for me. I use it with a low speed power drill and it works quickly.......DJ
