I'm still using the RCBS Rockchucker press I bought in 1973 and the RCBS RS5 is not made as robust. But it still should last a lifetime as long as you do not pull on the handle like the Incredible Hulk. If you have any doubts go big and get the Rockchucker, its made "Ford Truck Tough"
RCBS - RELOADER SPECIAL-5 PRESS
Here’s a workhorse of a press designed for any reloader— beginner, intermediate, or advanced—who want a press that can handle the smallest cartridge from a .17 Remington to a big-bore 375 magnum load for pistol, revolver or rifle, or for those just wanting a separate press to handle different duties. The RS-5 evolved from the now famous “JR” and Reloader Special presses. The RS-5 features a sturdy offset “O” frame for easy case insertion and extraction. Also includes an enhanced ball handle for comfort, an extra-long ram bearing surface to eliminate wobble and ensure alignment of the case holder for dies, an on-press primer arm that lets you prime cases at the same time you resize them, and a removable bushing for using RCBS shotshell dies or the Piggyback Conversion Unit. The 7/8 x 14 thread accommodates most popular reloading accessories.
