Dad got me a VersaMec '82 12 gauge press for Christmas, had to have been 1982 since I was 14. Also got all the goodies to go with it. Next day I asked for help doing it, he told me the instructions were in the box, read and follow(he didnt know anything about reloading). I figured it out, still have both eyes and all digits, and no guns blown up.
1995, Rockchucker kit and a set of 44 Mag Carbide dies. Same thing, opened the Speer manual that was in the box, and started reading.
Have added a schitt ton of stuff since, but still have the original equipment I started with. Still both eyes, all digits and no mishaps.
