I still have my Lee Zip-trim.
Had to replace the string once.

I still have one of them somewhere around here, haven't used it in years.
I still have the Lee's "Yankee screw driver", as pictured, for when the lights go out. I also have a Lee "Zip Trim", but the spring finally gave out. I thought the Zip Trim was a great invention; however, it was not built strong enough to endure long term use IMO.
The ones I illustrated in this thread, are not for when the lights go out. One does still work, the other size does not, and hasn't worked for 30 years.....it's the one I used ....was not robust enough and broke after about 6 months. The other I didn't use hardly at all, knowing it also wouldn't last, so I used better lasting tools in my Trim Mate.

I have the "large" size one like in the photo.... they will round over after some use ....a flat file will straighten out the bit end ...
I wonder why these fell out of favor???
Seem like a good tool.
i havent cleaned a primer pocket on any brass for 30 years. waste of time if you ask me
I won one on evil bay.
Large primer, which is what I use the most.
At least now I'll know how good, or bad, it is.
History has shown that what is old, sometimes is new again.
