    Mandrel driver ??

    In this day and age of Fast fast fast. I have 2 primer pocket brushes and only the outside neck deburring die.

    Does anyone remember who made these? Not even sure what to call them.

    Probably wrong but look like Wilson or Forester products.

    I'm pretty sure they are Forster? products.
    Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway!

    Leaning that way also. Don't think they are Wilson.

    suggestion was Herters. I think that is it. Pop had a Herters Press and Dies. I have an old catalog around, will investigate

    Herter's is a good guess, they don't quite look like Forster to me. They could also be homemade, I remember seeing something like that in Dean Grinnell's books that IIRC he made.

    I had the 2 1/4" drive case prep bases from Herters but no bits for it. All the new stuff is 8x32 (kinda). i bought 4 Standoffs from McMaster that are 8x32 inside thread and 1/4 OD.

    The tool is a chinese knockoff of a Lyman tool (was $30 cheaper than Lyman). I figured if it didn't work I'd save the money. Well it kinda works, I suspect the threads on the bits are metric.

    Amazon tool.
