I've primed 10's of thousands of cases with the old Lee hand primers, never had a problem until a mate lamented that they break the handles.
Yep, you guessed it, handle broke the very next time I used one, ba$tard jinxed me. Luckily at the time you could still buy replacements for that model, ( $4 )
bought a couple of spares and haven't broken one since.
A bit of maintenance, they need cleaning occasionally and some lube and they work just fine. Had a bloke visit once so I could help him with load development for his Sharps blackpowder cartridge rifle, he reckoned he'd never used a better tool for priming, wanted to buy one off me, no chance mate.
