I have an extensive collection of priming tools, Lee, RCBS, etc., both hand and add-on to a press. The Forster tool keeps them in retirement. The priming fixture atop a Forster Coax press is even better, IMHO. It is configured to uniformly seat primers a few thousandths of an inch below the case face, but is slow, requiring handling each primer. The bench mounted Forster is the best I have found to give mechanical feedback through the large paddle. You don't really squeeze it. You lean on it and can feel anvil contact with the bottom of the pocket very accurately. The shellholder jaws are tricky to set up the first time, but I like them. An added, undocumented advantage to the universal shellholder jaws is their adjustability for bent and crooked case rims. I've pounded many a bent case in and out of an RCBS shellholder with a punch. Not a good practice.
