Jim, are you sure you don't have room in your house for a single stage press?

They don't have to be mounted permanently.

They can be fastened to a short piece of 2x8 and C-clamped to a table top, if neccessary. Or buy a Black & Decker Workmate (folding work center) and clamp it to that.

A hand press, I would imagine, is intended for use out in the field, not at home, and its inherent compromises to permit portability would get tiring after a while.

As far as case cleaning goes, in my short time as a reloader, I have found the tumbler to be one of my better purchases. Toss 'em in for an hour or two and life is good.
