We had a recent thread on that Giraud trimmer and it really looks like a winner! Check the search engine in this forum and you'll find it.

Best tools I've bought lately? After years and years of reloading, I finally got around to buying a vibratory case cleaner and putting it in to use. I've cleaned nearly every piece of brass in my inventory, including stuff I don't even reload. Also, I finally upgraded to a Lee Classic Cast last fall and I love it. It's a beast.

Most of my recent expenditures in this hobby lately have been components. I've bought a lot of bullets and a few new powders.

I have a super swager. What a great tool if you do alot of military brass.

Starrett 6" digital caliper and 1" digital micrometer. Both are accurate and easy to read. Now it is so much easier to check dimensions at my reloading bench, i.e. crimping diameter and OAL on .45 ACP rounds.

Good shooting and be safe.

Six bits of your choice only a pull, turn and push away. Magnetic, built like a Sears tool, and $20. I have one in my range bag, one on my reloading bench, and one in my tool box. Get it, you won't regret it!
