    I use a tool called "Quick Case Trimmer" sold by Possum (sic) Hollow. I think I got it from Sinclair Intl. It indexes off the datum line. I like it because it is fast and I can chuck it it my hand drill.One might get carpal tunnel turning a crank repeatedly.

    I inherited my Dads Forester 20 years ago. It was a good 20 + years old then. I replaced the cutters once. It works just fine. As long as I can crank that handle it works.

    After the feedback from everyone, I decided to go with the Forester trimmer. I'm thinking of going with this to power it https://www.dacamreloading.com/cube/...-trimmers.html . Thanks for the help deciding which way to go!

    Good choice.

    Way back when I had one I never got a power setup. Was not doing that many cases, maybe 100 at a time and using it once every 6 months or less.

    I'm probably not shooting enough to warrant it, but I also have a history of not buying something, then regretting it later. In eight months, I've shot almost 500 rounds in the 6.5 CM so its not even 100 rounds a month.

    I ordered the power adapter for a drill or screwdriver, but this is much neater solution.

    Forster's 3 in 1 trimming heads are awesome, cut, inside and outside chamfer in one operation. Have one for every caliber I shoot that they make.
