Frankford ArsenalPlatinum Series Hand Deprimer Tool for Standard Primer Removal for Reloading – 909283

I was hesitant to buy it because it's appearance just didn't reflect that it would be a quality product. However, it has great reviews so I bought it knowing that amazon would take it back if I was unsatisfied. Day one, I unwrapped it and began processing spent cases (brass and nickel) of various calibers (30-30, 38spl/357mag, 7.62x39mm, and .223/5.56mm (some were crimped primers). I wound up de-priming easily over 1,000 cases hoping it would break early so I could return it and continue looking for the solution of a more efficient de-primer. It de-primed every type of case without issue even some crimped primers! I am very pleased with this product! I will definitely be looking at other Franklin Arsenal products to fill in my reloading bench. I will say that de-priming that many cases in one sitting will leave your squeeze hand sore. I normally don't prep that many cases at once so it shouldn't be an issue. Don't hesitate to buy.

It does what it's meant to do. Works great. Did a couple hundred rounds of 45-70gov and .454 casull while watching a movie. Only issue was trying to figure out how to get it to work initially, popping a primer out onto the floor only once before I figured out you need to lower the cylinder down and then squeeze. After that, worked great for me.

LOVE this thing. There is an art to using it, but once dialed in it is awesome for "zoned out decapping while watching TV"! It decaps 9mm, .38/.357 and .40/10mm with ease. I used it on crappy, muddy range brass and after a good wash, I started decapping. The "little plastic finger" collet adapter, of the appropriate size (there are 3, sm, med. , and lg.) is inserted and away you go. You will be tempted to run the collet tighter than it needs to be, leave a HAIR of slop to put the casing in it AND roll it around to be sure the decapping pin is IN the flash hole and squeeze. Going through a 1000 rounds of grungy brass was quite a workout, so don't overdo it! LoL NOTE: These little plastic collet fingers are what makes it work, BUT they are "little PLASTIC collet finger thingies" and they will wear out eventually. I have done 3000 rds but the cleaner the range brass is, the longer they should last. I haven't worn mine out yet, but I have ordered two more sets.... cuz Murphy!!! The only bad thing is that the medium collet will be the one MOST people will use (and wear out), and they only come from the manufacturer in sets of .... sm., med., and lg,!!! Soooo you will have a lot of smalls and larges laying around. That said, the thing is awesome. Is it as fast as sitting in your garage, shop, man cave at a press running the cases through a decapping station... NO, but you are on autopilot watching TV while you do it. Like watching TV and shelling peas or folding laundry... whatever. Take your time, set it up and get a "process" going, and decap brass. I decap my brass so I can wet tumble it with cleaner and stainless steel pins. If you don't remove the spent primers you will "tumble weld" (with the steel pins) the primers in the cases and ruin them!!! I just finished another 1000 this afternoon.... wonderful item, well made... does the job! Does a great job!!!

Worked effectively easy to clean as well as easy to assembly minimum noise level.

Works great and easy to use !

Outstanding product! Greatly diminishes the time to de-prime brass and increase the efficiency of the process. Shipping was very good and no problems encountered. Worth every penny!!!!

It’s perfect for what it is.Simple and very functional.Saved my progressive press and the decapping die.

Best reloading tool you can have. Makes quick work of depriming and you can use it almost anywhere.
