I'm getting a little older and the arthritis in my hands is making it a little harder for me to use a hand held priming tool over a long period of time. My APS from RCBS has been discontinued as are all parts. What's the opinion on the best (if any) on a reliable bench top priming unit without breaking the bank.

I like the Lee ram prime, cheap, less than 20 bucks, primes on the downstroke of your press.

I've had a Lee hand primer for 20+ years and it's still going strong, but on some of my match brass the primer pocket is really tight. So I bought an RCBS bench top primer. It's great. I've primed almost 1000rds this past year with it. I have it mounted to a small pine board and I clamp it to the bench when I want to use it....really easy to get it out of the way when not in use.
My only comment is that the dipped rubber cushion on the handle is a little chintzy and during a long priming session you can feel the sharp edges of the handle.
It's so much easier on the hands than the lee primer, but I still use the Lee regularly as well.
