primer flipper

Nice to have machining tools 
Primers are really tough so unless you're hammering them.
Thing I hate most about LNL, stupid poking the primers, gonna be a easier way, someone design a flipper that pours into the tube. (vibrating tube feeders looks finicky).

Nice !
Well, if you can make that, there is no reason why you can't make a primer tray that feeds the primer tube (same as the one on my Pacific 366 shot shell loader - the primers are on a tray and the tray is angled down at one end so they feed into a tube)

There are a few around that use the lee primer trays with a vibrating adapter to drop the primers down the tube. Nothing commercial thought. There used to be a Frankford Arsenal??? plastic unit that isn't sold anymore.

The Frankford were made with very fragile plastic and is discontinued long ago.
I've seen people using the Lee Autoprime with not a very good results. They have to keep shaking the Autoprime and only a few primers will drop freely, then keep shaking shaking. Primers will flip upside down once in a while if you just not paying attention for a second.
I then found a device nicely made in Italy from a Canadian Distrubutor and I'm glad I'd invested to this device and save a whole lot of my time.
I'd my review in my personal blog:

One of my most prized reloading tools is my Frankford Arsenol primer tube loader. It has its moments but it beats picking up primers into the tube one at a fricken time.
I believe (tongue in cheek) that Dillon paid Frankford to stop producing it.
It's really neat that there is a modern take on it for less money than the Dillon.

I beg to differ. I don't need to shake, the cell phone vibrating motor does that for me. I don't have upside-down primers EVER. I would get an occasional primer stuck on its edge, but just flipping it back into the tray fixes that.
I'm glad that Pal filler is working out for you but IMHO, paying over $200 for a primer filler is too much for most people, myself included. OTOH, building a gadget for $30 in parts isn't hard for most CGN-ers.
Three of my shooting buddies bought the 'new and improved' Lee Auto-Prime - the one with square loading tray - and I assembled the vibrating motors for them. They are having issues with upside-down primers at the moment, once we figure this out I will post the results.

I'd rather saved my time and hassle to purchase what works 100% of the time.
Just can't afford the time to tape things together and make it work. But I have no problem if that's your preference.
Hope you solve your issues shortly
