Hand priming?

I have been using the RCBS hand priming tool for years. I did buy a Lee hand priming tool & it was junk! The lever that you squeeze to seats the primer broke in less than 100 cases. I threw it in the trash & got one from RCBS & have had no problems since.
I have the Lee tools but have changed over to the Forster Bench mounted priming tool, it has reversible adjustable jaws, that will accommodate just about every case made. I use it for .17 Hornet to 45 ACP, easy to set up. Very well made, holds 50 primers at a time stacked sideways as a safety precaution.

Just thought I'd update. Grabbed an RCBS at the show this weekend. The regular one that uses shell holders. Works good. I flipped a few primers at first but got the hang of it quickly after. No casualties as I peeked in to check if a primer was in position before I placed cases on.
As a bonus I snagged an rcbs 10-10 for the pricy sum of $60! Works great and was verified with my weight check set starting at 1/2 grain up to the supplied weight at 250 grains. Of course there was some other deals that were good in my opinion like the 1lb of vv n320 I picked up for $25 (ran out of cash or I would have grabbed the 4lb for $75), a set of k frame magnas that were decent for $20, 2 100 packs of old cci 500 primers for $2. And 500 hard cast DE wadcutters for $30.
Good pull this weekend! Forgot to get another 38/357 shell holder and primer pocket swager but I'll probably just order those from somewhere.
