New Lee Precision products for 2012

Look like a couple of interesting products but watching the video, I saw that there is some movement when using the press. Looks like that base is not as strong as it should be.
 
I will certainly be picking up the trimmer and bullet puller. That looks like they work very easily.

Now they need to refresh the Loadmaster and make a better priming system. Then I may consider buying it.
 
I'm intrigued by the bullet puller. How do they manage to remove the bullet on the up stroke of the press ram?

I also wonder what this combination factory crimp/seating die has to offer over a regular seating die that can also crimp. To me, the main virtue of the factory crimp dies is that they separate the two operations, making for easier adjustment with no extra work, since I do my loading on a progressive press.

They're not doing it on the up stroke. It probably a system of fingers that grab the bullet, and as you retract the case, they pull out the bullet and hold it there. If you look when he loads the die into the press, there's a bullet already in the die, waiting for another one to push it out from behind.
I wonder how it handles heavily crimped bullets.

What's not to like there. Very slick puller. If I hadn't already motorized my Lee trimmer with a rechargeable screwdriver that new one would be nice. It does the trimming and inside and outside chamfering all in one operation. I wonder if that complete assembly is needed for each caliber you intend to trim?
 
I want that bullet puller for sure!!!

I wonder if the trimmer would have enough clearance (without smacking your hands on dies & powder measures) to use on a turret press, though?
