What is the one reloading gadget you've bought and now couldn't live life without?

Lee quick trim die with the deluxe power quick trim cutter.

Just picked this up and it works great, my reloading kit is all about being compact and I like attachments that enable my hand press to do multiple functions. Have the primer attachment as well and it works like a charm.
 
-Concentricity gauge made me realize all the "useless junk" people bought was well... not useless and required.
-Magnetospeed because the next time I had to fidget with getting my Caldwell chronograph setup properly, I was going to use it as target practice.

Magneto speed because my Caldwell chronograph did become a target (unintended though) ;)
 
There's too many for me.
First was the universal decapping die, made life so much easier. Then it was the Lee quick trim, I love it for all my plinking loads. Then the RCBS swaging die, which I think is numero uno now. I pick up so much AE 223 brass these days and they all have minor crimps. No more issues now.

X2, got the big frankford arsenal one, can't believe how mirror-shiny the cases come out :D

Read about the problems people were having with brass discolouration, long as you clean the SS pins once in a while and dont go crazy on the Lemishine, its miles ahead of dry tumbling
 
Sinclair neck expander die & mandrels. Worth their weight in gold for necking up cases or making rounds with next to no neck runout.
 
Hand priming tool.

I started with a Lee Classic Loader in 303 (still use it too) and priming with one of those things is sketchy as fk!

Redding competition shellholders. Use those for awhile and you'll never crudely adjust a die by screwing it in and out again.

I just ordered a set the other day, been wanting them plus Forster FL dies. Gets me excited thinking about adding them to my Forster BR seater.

Way under rated.

Love my FA dry tumbler. Use the polish and it'll turn the most hideous of brass into jewelry. No staining, no drying, no dust. Its perfect for me.

There's so many good ones its hard to pick. The Lee deluxe quick trim is awesome. Trims and inside/outside chamfers in one step. My Lee PPM gets a lot of use set to drop a hair low so I can quickly trickle up on the 5-0-5. Lee breech lock bushings sit on all my dies. I can't pick just one.
