    Quick fix for droopy press handles

    The magnet out of a microwave...i'm sure you guys have some laying around...anyway i glued it to the press so you dont mess about with it going where it wants. break/cut the magnet in 2.

    The handle on my rcbs jr started to droop. Out of curiosity, I contacted rcbs. They sent me a couple of wave washers . took care of the problem. No charge, of course

    I made a counterweight for my Spartan press. It works great.
