Which I did for years. The little Paul Brown wrench just makes it go a little quicker, and its' other end is the wrench for the lock nuts on the bottom.

Most long-time mechanics don't like using an adjustable wrench on any nut they want to reuse. They must be very tight and well-adjusted to avoid damaging the nut, and are still likely to slip off (possibly damaging the nut holding the wrench, too) if you put a lot of pressure on them. And lots of scars on my hands and especially knuckles. I've got at least a dozen adjustable wrenches in my shop, mostly Crescent or decent copies, but they are saved for when they're necessary, not used all the time. YMMV, of course.

I Love the Paul Brown wrench. I've been using the same Lyman 450 for 45+yrs. Never crossthreaded it yet.
Patience is a Virtue to be cultivated.
And know that long term storage of PC loaded ammo has become such a problem, I'll be using it again.
I HATE auto-correct
Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.
My Experience and My Opinion, are just that, Mine.

PC doesn't store well long term? What's the failure mode?

I'll second the motion for using a heat gun/hair dryer. One application of heat for a few minutes will lube many boolits.
How do we feel about RCSB lube? I only say that because, the lgs has it in stock.

My Lube-O-Matic came with the RCBS lube and I liked it with my 49-49-2 percent Pb-WW-Sn alloy, at about 12 BHN, for both handgun and rifle boolits.
If it was easy, anybody could do it.
