I use the RCBS swage for all brass with crimped primers. I have had no problems at all, and really like the way it leaves the pocket.
Most people who use it, have problems bending the rod. This is because they don't adjust it correctly. Make sure the rod is threaded all the way into the die. Then put a piece of brass on the stud and raise your ram to the top. Screw the die down until it makes contact with the web. Make a number of small adjustments until the crimp is removed.
Any swage tool works best if you sort your brass by headstamp. If you are only using LC, you will not have to worry.
