Plus in heavy use....

I was a truck mechanic. I bought Snap-On tools, Proto Tools and Mac Tools, nothing else. Can you do the job with lesser quality tools, yes. Can you do the job better and easier with high quality tools, for sure.

In heavy use a lesser tool is more likely to give out. I don't buy expensive tools but for some reason my smaller jobs turn into heavy use. Like that one lug nut that was driven into the rim......

Whether it's the 'best' or not...

Be sure to spend money to at least get what you want

Thanks to all who offered kind words about my bench. I'm one of those who has to keep things in their assigned place or I can't find them so organization is mandatory. We recently moved and I am ashamed to admit to how many things I found I already had two of that I couldn't find when I bought a third! Memory was the second thing to go and I forget what the first one was.

That move took place since that photo was taken and I now have a "gun room" in our basement. Things look about the same but the walls are block instead of drywall and I don't have to have so many things in as small a space as I did with that bedroom in our old condo. I actually like it better now.

I usually wait until my wife comes home from the lgs with a new Browning or Colt. I never get arguments about reloading equipment upgrades that way. I don't criticize her taste in overpriced guns so when she came home with a new Colt the other day I just ordered myself a metal lathe for turning brass.

Congrats on the 650 I'm sure you will love it OP.

Thats a funny post!

The best way to handle the better half is to tell her that you really wanted to buy a 1050 but you thought it was a little too costly so you settled for the 650.

Or to make it even easier on her,figure out the difference in price between the 2 presses and tell her it is the amount of $$$ saved!
