    Lyman comes throough for me!

    After 20 years of good service with my Lyman Universal Decapping Die the pin finally broke (foreign object in the case). Emailed Lyman and told them what I did and asked about ordering a replacement part (which is the entire guts, rod, pin and threaded nut). I did that about a week ago and never heard back from them until the mail came today. Wow, a new replacement and no charge! Thanks Lyman!!

    Good deal.

    Have you noticed the new equipment from them? I think someone at Lyman is waking the company up. Nice to see.

    I hope this indicates Lyman has returned to it old self by providing excellent CS once again.

    I had the same experience with them. To say the least, I was surprised.

    Wow....maybe I should try, again, to get a replacement t-stat for my Mag-20. I've only been trying for 5-7 years.

    Just got off the phone with them about the resevoir cap for a 450 luber to use with the new handle upgrade. I talked with a man named John that is a supervisor in customer service about this cap for 2 of my old lubers. He said no problem and was sending out 2 of the newer style caps at no charge. Maybe they are finally listening to consumer concerns?Robert

    Over the last 6 yrs or so some of my Lyman reloading tools have started to break down with wear. Most were purchased between 1984-91 and Lyman has been great in supplying replacement parts and outright replacement of some at no charge. Most recently I ordered a new motor complete with base and hardware for my Turbo 1200 tumbler that has had unbelievable amount of use. It came in a box that was about 2 cu. ft. for the shipping cost of $4.99. This is at a time where J&G Sales' minimum shipping chg is $9.95, Graf & Sons is $7.95, etc. This may seem minor but when you pay $10 to ship a pistol mag or pack of decapping pins elsewhere I think Lyman is doing a great job!
