Waiting on a replacement. First one didn't cut cases squarely.
My first one didn't work out too well. After calling Redding customer service, who appears to be quite helpful, I was unable to get square cuts on my cases. It appears that there is a bit of yaw in the case holder cylinder, and I'm not sure whether it's my fault or a manufacturing issue. Redding accepted it back for inspection.
Pro: The cutting tool seems to cut smoothly and easily, and it's very nice to have all of the pilots handy as well as primer pocket cleaners. Having a micrometer is superior to not having one. It's also nice to not have to keep up with shell holders.
Con: I don't love the effort required to insert a case into the collet. The effort required would be acceptable if the trimmer provided square cuts, but at present, the Hornady trimmer is my go-to (even though it's a little more basic, it gives square cuts).
