What hunting/shooting/reloading product have you broken the most of?
For percentage owned, I'm 6 for 6 breaking the Lee Auto Prime. That little silver metal handle snapped like it was designed to fail every time.
For sheer number, RCBS decapping pins, but I have a lot of their dies.
You?

Maybe 3 decapping pins.
1 each, RCBS, Lyman, Hornady.
Not much of anything really.

You? Pretty similar with me, except Lyman or Redding dies mostly.

A few decapping pins.
I have 3 of the Lee hand priming tools, one each set up for large/ small primer, and one for a spare. In nearly 30 years of fairly heavy use, average 6000 rounds a year on each size,, I've never needed the spare....just saying

Lee hand primer. Bought an RCBS and problem solved. That and the bearing in a Pacific/Hornady DL 366 shotgun reloader.

Due to the increased price of ammo, don't expect a warning shot...

Broken two AutoPrimes and ruined multiple RCBS expander assemblies or pins.
Now with even more aplomb

I've used a K&M priming tool for years now. I think it'll outlive me.

Don’t recall breaking anything. Maybe a few hearts when I was a young punk.

Hearts, New Years Resolutions, diets... On topic: Decapping Pins, especially when I first started reloading in 1959 at age 12. I didn't know about crimped primers when I had a Lot of Mil-Surp 30-06 brass given to me.

Leatherman multi-tools. I have broken the plier jaws on a 4 Waves and 3 Skeletools. Destroyed the wire cutter a Wave 2 times. And I have also broken 2 knife blades on the Wave. Leatherman has always replaces the tools. However, after breaking the jaws on the Wave a 5th time I chunked it in a pond out of frustration and finally lost the Skeletool while fishing. I now have a Gerber that I hate but can't seem to break or lose. The knife blade will not stay sharp even after very light use.

Pins, rods, inertia pullers. Yep. Not recently, but the learning curve was kind of steep.
