Do your cases pop out of your Lee lock stud shell holder when you're trimming with a power drill? It's frustrating isn't it? The tiny, knurled shell holder doesn't let you get enough torque on it. Luckily, the knurling makes it perfect for a friction fit inside this 3D-printed handle that I call the "Torker". Let me tell you, I love this thing! It works amazingly well.

(Shameless cross-promotion: If you want a drill-powered universal case trimmer like the WFT, check my other items.)

There are Lee shell holders for standard cartridges (223, 7.62x39, 308, belted magnum, etc) with an OD of 0.755", 0.804", and 0.815". It seems to be random what size Lee gives you; I've got  #2's (308 size) in multiple diameters. Check before ordering. The 50 BMG version should be 0.995" diameter. If you have a shell holder outside diameter that I don't have listed, let me know and I'll make a new version.

Printed from premium gray PETG filament for high strength and long life, PLA is more brittle in this application under constant stress. Satisfaction guaranteed! If you don't like it, send it back for a full refund.

Get one for every case head size that you use; additional shipping FREE because it ships in a padded envelope.

Does not include shell holder or lock stud, just the plastic handle.

 

Instructions:

Carefully press your shell holder into the Torker handle with a bench vise or press. (If you want to try hammering it in, use an aluminum, wood, or plastic rod to protect your shell holder.)

Before pressing, make certain that the shell holder is centered over the hole.

It will naturally want to move toward the side with the loading port; angle it slightly so that this edge enters first.

If it's too tight (Lee has a pretty wide manufacturing tolerance for these holders) soak the Torker in boiling water for 1 minute then press the shell holder in while it's warm.

 

As always, if there are any other 3D printed reloading tools (or anything else) that you want printed, give me a shout and I'll whip up a batch of them. If customers want 'em, I'll make 'em! :-)
