Great but mine has some minor issues - Frankford Arsenal Perfect Seat Hand Primer

Brian Yarnell's Review of Frankford Arsenal Perfect Seat Hand Primer
While this tool is mostly a winner, I have issues with the primers feeding well into the tool. They seem to hang up or become stuck right at the narrow area to the feed chute. I've had to remove the tray and shake the primer tray to dislodge them. Also the tray needs to be shaken a little while operating to make sure another primer feeds into the priming pin area. Even with those issues, I'm extremely happy with this seating tool. My previous tool was using the priming arm on my Lyman press. I've gone through a couple of the swing arms (spring arm has broken off) and recently it keeps dropping primers when the swing arm was being used to seat a primer (then I'd have to chase the dropped primer on the floor). This tool is much, much quicker to get the job done versus the press priming arm. Some of the primers in the tray are hard to get to flip over but this can easily be overcome by simply flipping the few that don't want to play well with some tweezers or your fingernails. I "highly" recommended from me (and one could ask themselves "why didn't I get one of these sooner?")! Optics Planet had the best price I could find (AND had it in stock). Shipping was fast too.
Pros:
easy to use
nice storage case
Quicker than the press priming arm
Heavy-duty construction
Portable (don't have to stand at reloading bench)
Comes with probably all the seat holders you need
Controllable seating depth (hard stop)
Easy to seat primers without effort
Cons:
Primers sticking in the loading tray
Primer tray cover tricky to remove
Seat holder fit & finish is lacking a bit
Could hurt your bare toes if you drop this thing on them (it's weighty)
Would Recommend:
Yes
