Well the New Auto Prime XR is not that expensive, and the shell holder set is about $15 or less from most places. The handle on the new one will not break. A friend of mine tried to break one pushing too hard on a crimped primer pocket. He managed to ruin a primer, and had a hard time getting the brass out of the shell holder. The tool still worked fine after that. I have one myself. I will say be gentle sliding the lid on, and off. The plastic tabs get brittle, and break if you do not. I still use mine it has primed many thousands of rounds, and is still going strong.
