Thats the way it is in the toolmaking business, if you want 100000 of something as cheaply as possible, get an engineer to design it. If you want ONE that lasts forever and works like a charm, let a toolmaker loose on it.
personally, I have an RCBS hammer, but when salvaging gun show reloads for brass I generally just mangle the bullets with pliers and pull them in the press. Lead melts.
Frankford Arsenal has a new wall mounted inertial puller with a lever you pump up and down. You raise it and when you lower it, it shoots the shellholder onto an anvil. Pistol bullets still took 4 or so pumps to unload, but the the effort is minimal.
