That's what I have in the top drawer of my reloading bench - from a fishing tackle box. Still have to wade through all the little compartments

I have three Lee tools that are well over 30 years old, and one newer one.
because of the arthritis issues I have I bought a new Hornaday and it's a POS, it keeps jamming.
Went back to the Lee tools, then bought a new lee with the square tray.
it works great as well.

If only it were that easy.
I have racks, filled with totes of mounts and parts, collected over that past 55+ years. Many from companies no longer in business but the parts are still useful.
I wouldn't change things for any reason.
Nice not to have to depend on the LGS or distributors for bits and pieces.
Same experience on the Hornady, Cat. It wound up in the garbage. They didn't finish the interior properly, plunger kept hanging up, and I didn't have a tool that would get up there far enough to fix it. I have a new Lee, have yet to figure out how to get it to feed a primer thru the safety gate in the tool itself, it can wait til one day when I have enough patience for it, I had it completely apart once, the gate goes up when it is not supposed to, may try removing it. I have a Franklin I haven't tried out yet. But, I managed to find a brand new round tray Lee a couple of months ago, and I still have 3 complete ones beside it, and a spare body, couple of arms, etc. Lids are the biggest issue, but, not much of one. Also still have a 21st Century that uses the old round Lee trays, works great. And a Forster, takes a bit of getting used to, but, works OK, not a fan of filling tubes. Haven't tried a Lyman, or the Lee or RCBS bench version. All of the primer tool issues started with wanting one for my 450-400NE, which had to use shellholders, as universals weren't big enough for the rim. Didn't really like the RCBS universal as it cocks brass on pressure, and wasn't big enough anyway, shellholder version needs Hornady shellholders with the big hole, other than that it's OK. FRanklin will get tried out on next case prep session, haven't seen anyone #####ing on it, yet. With the loot I've spent on those over the years, could have bought a Primal Rights tool.
I had a bit of a time at first with mine as well, but just moved the parts manually and then it seemed to straighten itself out.
I will now by a couple of extra trays and label them so I can use them for several different primers when I goo too the range and load on location.

I found for the Lee handheld one that the plastic peices you use for large/small primers were pretty junky and prone to cracking but the ones that came with the bench mounted unit are much beefier and fit the hand primer as well.
