Favorite Reloading tools you would hate to do without, and why???

[Blanket]

I thought this might spark some thought as well as share what really works great old or new. Mine to start off with are a Redding number 7 C-frame press, have had since I was a kid but the really great thing about it is 1 stroke of the handle either up or down moves the ram thru a full cycle of up and down. Makes sizing and belling pistol brass or seating bullets on all calibers half the work. 2nd is a powder trickler also Redding and the reason is it's weighted base. The 3rd is a plain old Lee old round primer tool, just wish you still get parts. So what is yours???? Russ

RCBS Chargemaster. I hate trickling powder by hand. And the powder measures can be finicky. Set it once and let it do it's thing.

The tools that I really couldn't do without are any that don't require power or batteries to work. You never know. Which is why I have Lee Loaders for important cartridges.

RCBS Automatic Bench Primer. Have arthritis, and it it seats primers easily and allows you to feel them seat.

Lee universal decapping die. I would be useless without it while cleaning brass.

Something as simple as my deburring tool. Its been in constant use for nearly 35 years.

My old ugly Herters press that I started with in 1959--It was in the stuff stolen last weekend, Darnit.

Press, dies, scale. Make or model does not matter much.

Dillon 550B and Harrell powder measure.
While other tools will do everything they do the other tools are not as much of a joy to use.

Power accessories for case prep.....would really hate to go back to doing all that the old way again.

My old-style Lee priming tools with the screw-in shell holders. I've been using them for years, and really prefer priming off-press. I can do my priming in the living room, chatting with the wife, scratching the dog and half watching the useless TV programming. That way, TV watching isn't a complete loss as I'm getting something worthwhile done. I load on a single stage A2 press, so priming independently doesn't interrupt the flow of a progressive press.

I would hate to be w/o my Vernier calipers. Prior to owning one, I didn't even know what one was; now I use it everyday I reload.

[Blanket]

Some good honest answers, Let's hear some more. Lubed up some 44 Keith bullets on one of my stars after I posted this would hate to do without one.

What should be asked is what would you like to own.
