    I was unable to find such 'parts' on Lee's website...but when doing a quick Google search, that provided an ebay link for one wooden replacement grip (with ferrel) for the Lee commercial handle assembly priced at $4.97 free shipping.

    SC1158 are $6.00 each, 2 required per set of handles. Parts listed would be $15.00 per set of handles plus shipping.
    But on the invoice it looks like they gave you all of the parts for free and only charged for shipping. Interesting.

    2011redrider was right. Just out of curiosity I duplicated his order on Lee Precision and it shows the price when you add it to the cart
    but they end up giving them to you for free and only charge for shipping. So if you order enough for 4 sets of handles the shipping charges are about $20.00 so the overall price is $5.00 per set of handles delivered.

    Only difference is the handles are 5" instead of the 6" that comes with the handles.

    Have you noticed any difference when using the shorter handles?

    Kind of like a baseball bat, the heavier molds seem a bit lighter when choking up!

    I don't know guys, I like a great deal as much as the other guy, but; Lee is kind enough to give us replacement parts for the cost of shipping. If we abuse this privilege by building an entire tool out of replacement parts and taking money out of their pocket they may quit doing it, or require us to send in the bad part before they will allow us to get the replacment part we need. Just my 2 cents worth

    They have built in their cost for the parts plus shipping, even though they just show the charges as only shipping. So it's not for the cost of shipping they just play a shell game and hide the cost under the shipping costs. They already make you send in the broken part on your dime, when under warranty which they recently changed to 2 years.
