Product Review: Hand Roll Crimp Tool - 12 gauge 

I got one last year and the same thing happened. I cut the rod the roll crimp piece is attached to and use it in a drill now. Not a total loss I guess.

I was pleasantly surprised with its simplicity and ease of use.

@@ReLoadersBench I got curious and found a video from the manufacturer. That black sheet is a sample of material for making overshot cards.

@@texpatriot8462 - seems a bit flimsy for overshot cards, maybe not as flimsy in 3/4" circles ;-)

@@ReLoadersBench I have been thinking about buying one, but I will probably wait to get the Lee version fr the history. Trolling ebay, but will have to wait for pandemic pricing to pass. The only thing I can’t make myself is the sizer and the crimp tool. I am going to try using a pipe to hand size using the die from my Lee Load All. Fun projects

@@texpatriot8462 I didn't know Lee made an old school roll crimp tool. I enjoy trolling ebay for old reloading gear. Just picked up a Lee Crimp Started still in original packaging from the ~60's.

Great tip, thanks.

Or leave this as is for the situation that may call for it and pick up a ExactaRoll Double-Pin Roll Crimper from Ballistic Products that's designed for chucking into a drill. Why ruin one tool to fit the needs another tool can address?

I'm not quite sure there is enough length/room. If you look at how I manipulated the 2 3/4" hull and the amount of room "left", I don't know there is enough space for a hull 3/4" longer. If it can, it would be a tight fit.

Will be doing another product review of a different roll crimp soon.

@@ReLoadersBench :-D

search "Russian 12GA ShotShell reloading crimp" on ebay and you'll find it (didn't post link at it may change based on listing)

In a "no tool" vs "crap tool" situation, I'll take the crap tool every time.

@@ReLoadersBench , you’re so correct. Keep it up. Every thing is in short supply in a time like this. Something better than nothing. Haven’t seen primers for sales over two years.

All shot shell reloading materials are not existing anymore. Can’t find anything

So relieved to know this, now I'll sleep better at night.

@@ReLoadersBench wow a smart ass. I can't use it because of a disability which not only prevents me from using the tool but keeps me awake st night. GFY really big.

A real POS

@@carlschnier4089 sorta like someone who comments on their own comment.

Jon, Jon, Jon...you are obviously new to my video style. I do not propose to be an expert and my learning and first look at items is new and THAT'S the point. All you keyboard warriors and critics are CLUELESS and expect professional/polished "how to" videos. Give us a break, we all have to learn at some point and my videos are JUST THAT, me learning/experiencing something new live as it's happening...so one would EXPECT me to be less than prepared. You an expert at everything you touch for the first time? BTW, I jumped over to your channel to see how it's done and, as expected, ZERO content of your own so people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Don't forget to hit the thumbs down on your way out and you probably shouldn't view any of my other videos because they will only disappoint folks like you with such high expectation of someone else's FREE content that you fell you have to dump on. Troll elsewhere with your "expertise" and expectations.

@@ReLoadersBench I'm not a troll. You are a child. It was constructive criticism. Be prepared, make a script and follow it. Just because I don't have a single video on my channel doesn't make your video suck less. Literally trying to help you make better vids. Put in 10% more effort and make 100% better vids. Have a nice day.

@@ccsniper No, not going to make a script and follow it, defeats the purpose of how I video. Something you apparently can't understand or won't accept. Buh-bye Jon.
