I've been Lee hand priming tools since shortly after they were introduced quite a few years ago. Eventually bought two so one could remain set-up for large primers and one for small. Back then the connector rod broke frequently, but Lee soon replaced it with a tougher model. They sent me the new models when the old ones broke, free, and they've lasted ever since, for hundreds of thousands of primers.
Kinda hated to switch brands because I have so many shell-holders, but eventually found Lee doesn't make shell-holders for some oddball rounds, and I ended up loading some oddballs. Got one of the RCBS priming tools that use the plastic strips, with the universal shell-holder, and use that when there's no Lee shell-holder for an oddball case.
