Primer pocket tool is extra. I see the Giraud as a much better value. Most everyone has a drill already.

Just a different combo – with the Giraud you get trimming (main feature) but no primer pocket tool, and you need to add power.

For ten dollars more id opt for the Giraud Tri-Way Trimmer and get trimming as well, all in one step.

This is almost the same price as the Frankford Case Trimmer and Prep Center, which auto indexes the trim length of your brass. The Frankford is also designed and built much better than the Hornady.

Editor’s Comment: The Made-in-USA Hornady has a much smaller footprint than the Made-offshore Frankford — that was one of the key points of the review. Almost the same price? The Hornady costs $91 compared to $147 for the Frankford, making the Frankford 60% more. As for being built better — that’s really a matter of opinion. The main criticism of the Frankford is in the case trimming, and if you don’t use that feature you have a much larger, bulkier machine (with a shorter warranty) that costs $56 more…

Wish it utilized power screwdriver adapter fitting instead of 8-32 threading.
