Not sure if this is worth whatever they charge for it if your already established using other tools but the idea sure seemed cool!

For the price it better load the ammo as well $399.99. The reviews aren't kind either. Plastic gears & bearings.

At that price I think I can survive with my 30-40 year old case prep tools.
Some years back I invested in the RCBS case prep machine the first year it came out. This along with the RCBS power case trimmer has made my arthritic hands think these are as good as sliced bread!Robert
I use the RCBS case prep center.
It has done great for many years.
Excellent tool.
See no reason to switch to the Hornady unit at this point...those negative reviews of the Hornady unit are a bit off putting.
400 is,really nice old U.S. "arn" drill press money here.Like,really nice.
I use the RCBS case prep center as a few others have mentioned. I do enjoy the simplicity and speed- but I also got for under $100. Spending $400 seems pretty excessive! Granted - mine doesn’t have a power trimmer. But don’t see it being much different than a regular trimmer with drill adapter!
Gawlee that’s a bit more then I thought it would be I just saw the box thought it seemed to be a cool idea to have in one place. But for 400 think I can trim camfer and debur by hand for a long time lol

Another really good option is the Frankfort Arsenal case prep center. I have two "like to haves" on mine. A couple more places for "tools", it comes with three places and I would like one more at least (not a biggie at all) and it won't trim straight wall cases. Other than that it's a great piece of equipment. A lot of torque, very consistent trim lengths, it does run a bit slow but that's probably a plus, metal (of some type) gears, fairly quiet and doesn't get "hot" if ran for long periods of time. Cost is under 150.00........check one out.
I too have the Frankford Case Prep. Center and it does all I need. Keep in mind it's for bottleneck cases on trim lengths.

JUST GOTTA LOVE THIS JOINT.
I would buy the LYMAN Case Prep Express. Got one when they came out about 5yrs ago, Much cheaper. But then I bought a LYMAN Powered Case Trimmer when they came out about 25yrs ago. Used together I can trim; sized G.I. brass, ream & clean primer pockets. Chamfer/deburr case mouths.
I can process 100 cases in under an hour.
Of course these days I have no idea what these things cost today. But many 1,000's & 1,000's of cases show the longevity of the LYMAN Powered Case Trimmer.

I got the smaller Hornady case prep trio and love it but it’s too slow. It runs on a 12v wall wart. So I decided to hot rod it to 18v and it runs just fine and way faster. I’m going to pump it up to 24v. Well worth the 80$

I have a lyman case express, great machine easy, and reasonable. Purchased on amazon. The attachment will fit there hand tools and the 50 cal attachment were an extra but will do 577 cases .
Love it
