Great value for the money
The vibra-prime is a great time saver when it comes to filling primer tubes. The only thing that I could say is a "con" is that it doesn't work consistently when you try to use the plastic adapters on the end of the tube. If you remove the plastic adapter and just hold the end of tube against the primer exit hole in the flip try, it is 100% reliable.
Pros: Easy to use, results are superb
Cons: Doesn't work consistently with tube adapters
Fantastic tool
This thing is awesome. Load up 100 primers in seconds. No more picking up one at a time!
Would recommend: Yes
Not working, Feeding issues, flipped primers
A completely useless piece of s... It does not feed correctly, constantly gets primers not feeding into the tube, or even worse, feeding primers upside down. Also, there is no way to either directly fill the standard pickup tubes, only the provided tubes will fit the device - which does not really matter as even those don't work.
I personally really like and enjoy a lot of Frankford Arsenal products (including the X-10), we tumbler, calipers etc., but this is useless engineering produced with Chinese tolerances.
I suggest, you continue the manual pickup - it is less time consuming and wayyyy less frustrating!

Primer loader
At first look, the reloading primer tool looks good. There are slight fit and finish that that prevents the vibrating plate to load primers into the tube. There are places near the opening that "snags" primers and prevent the primers to fall into the tube. You need to tilt and tap the shell plate to dislodge the primers to, so they fall into the tube. Once you find the "sweet" spot in holding the tool, the primers load fast. All in all, this tool is a time saver and beats picking up one primer at a time.
Pros:
- Time saver
- Beats pinking primers one at a time.
Cons:
- It can be temperamental, and the primers can snag and will not load.
Would recommend: Yes
Worked once.
Worked once with large primers. Second time with large primers, some of the primers would stick in the drop hole at an angle and not fall into the primer tube. Third time was the same. 4th time was with small primers. 2 or 3 would feed but then one would stick in the hole. This repeated 3 or 4 times, then the one stuck could not be freed by tapping on the handle. Shook the primers away from the drop hole and removed the tube. 4 or 5 primers fell out and one went inside the handle. Removed the feed tray and shook the handle in all directions. The primer is inside rattling around. When the trigger is squeezed, the vibrating motor picks up the lost primer and jams the unit. Can shake the primer loose, but as soon as the trigger is squeezed, the primer jams the motor. Optics Planet had me call FA for the warranty. FA is sending a new one. Hopefully the second one works as expected.
Would recommend: No
Indispensable to simplify filling primer tube
Operation is simple but requires a habit before correctly and quickly fill a tube of primers.
The tubes are provided with the same diameter as the tubes DILLON which allows using the end caps DILLON directly.
A very useful and affordable tools.
Shipping and transport times are fast, congratulations.

Frankford Arsenal Reloading Tools Vibra Prime Tube Filler
Very good product, very fast, but sometime a prime stuck in tube entrance and I need to smash that in order to keep filling the tube, also I need to take care when I swapping the primers upside down, in order to avoid them going to primer holes. But it is a good product at all, and really makes the prime handling processes faster then traditional "fishing" way.
Would recommend: Yes
Does Not Work
I saw these advertised and figured I'd give it a try. First the tray won't fit into the handle, I had to trim extra stripes of plastic off until it would fit flush. If it doesn't fit flush the tube won't lock into position. Next the primers won't drop into the tube, they get to the opening then try to flip over and get wedged in the hole. Once they get lodged you can't slide the tray out of the handle to clear it. I'm am very dissappointed with this product and would NOT recommend it to anyone.
Would recommend: Yes
Great Product
These were stopped being made for a while but thankfully Frankford Arsenal has brought them back. This is by far the best tool out there for loding primers into primer tubes. This is my 2nd one. Got out of reloading and now back in and this is one of the first tools I went to find and repurchase. Great product!
Pros: Simple, easy to use and works!
Cons: None

Vibra Prime
Works well, rthere is a learning curve to get the primers to stream smoothly into the tubes without hanging up, but after a few tubes full you find the angles and it works well for a fifth the cost of the Dillon Primer tube filler.
Pros: inexpensive
Cons: can be a bit fiddley
