Anyone using these items?
The chamfer tools and pocket cleaning tools look much more ergonomic than any thing I’m using,
Are there better options out there? Time for an upgrade.
Not sure of your budget but here's what I use.

These things makes prepping brass a breeze. Once you get your routine down it's about 15 seconds to clean primer pocket, chamfer, de-burr, and brush the inside of the neck. It beats the crap out of one piece / one step at a time.
This is what I use, screw that do-it-by-hand crap. I even use it to de-crimp 556 primer pockets. Two quick bumps on a VLD chamfer tool and done. Can't swage em on a press that fast.

That's what I use too, and it sure does cut down on time and wear and tear on your hands. I remember trimming and chamfering by hand, with those stupid slow tools. However, sometimes I wonder how nice it would be to have something that trims and chamfers at the same time. The FA case prep center is definitely well worth the money though.

Its called trim pro 3 way cutter been using them since they came out. And no you dont need one for each caliber, just the pilot as they are adjustable.
To trim and chamfer at the same time, My Giraud Triway is awesome in that regard,
But, Caliber specific, Makes financial sense when I buy bulk 5.56 brass,
Not so much for my other cartridges.
