That's my thinking about the Lee 420 drip-o-matic. I left mine out in the hope it quits working, so I can throw it away in good conscience...
Taylor, What part of Tennessee are you in ? I'll help you with it or take it off your hands ?
There are lots of simple things to stop the dripping and or slow it down where it's not a problem.
PM me and I'll do my best to help you out.

So far " knock Wood " mine has worked fine for 4 casting sessions so far .
had trouble with mine when it was new, put a power screwdriver on the part that opens and closes to let the lead out, think valve grinding, and it has worked like a champ ever since.
It's a Lee Product...just needs a little TLC...whats new?...what's the beef?

It's made very well for the price.

I'm currently looking for a drip o matic. If the $ is right.
My 10 pound pot leaked like crazy. The 20 pound ,no problem in three years
The new style is a great improvement over the old. All lee equipment needs a lil work but I wouldn't hesitate to buy a lee pot
Have used 2 of the 4-20's for years without any problems or drips. Guess you guys don't know how to hold your mouths right!!!!!
Mine leaks like a sieve. I drained it this aft. Going to clean it out. Where do you guys put the valve grinding compound? Do I need to take it apart? Also the screw (on the old model) that is on the outer wall of the pot keeps coming out...any remedy?
I used mine on Monday and it's was leaking bad. I turn the adjustment a couple of turns to slow down the pour and it stop leaking. I must have tried to make it pour faster last time I used it. I was making big bullets last month.
I really have not had any problems with mine yet? Hope it stays like this but who knows? Love to buy a better pot but for $70 ish it fills a void and is way better for me than the dipper pot I was using!
45 ACP because shooting more than once is just silly!!
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.
I forgot and left mine on for over a week up as high as it will go, never leaked and it is at least 15 years old, you do need to clean them every once in a while couple times a year and NEVER NEVER PUT DIRTY w-w OR SCRAP IN THEM.

I've been tempted to sell my lead drips as art
Plata o plomo?
Plomo, por favor!
if you have a flat surface they work great, it eventually stops at the hole and ceases dripping. In my case they slowly fall over and just make a bigger mess . Again great product for the price point and without it I probably wouldn't have started casting. I am an enthusiast in most things so I tend to upgrade once I have a feel for the hobby.
when was the last time you cleaned it I drain and boil my pot once a year works good for me my pot is going on 10 years now
