I posted in a similar thread recently that I would hate to be an engineer at Lee because I think they design really good products but then the production department makes them with less than desirable materials. About two days later the handle on my Auto Prime broke. Yes, they made a good product for $20 but imagine how much better it could have been for $25. If given the choice I would have spent the $25. There is a replacement unit for sale that is made from aircraft quality aluminum and stainless steel. Yes, it costs $70 but I feel quite confident it will never break. I wonder how many replacement handles and links Lee either sold or replaced for free during the years.
