Before moving on, I do want to address one important factor. I know that when I have read reviews online that I am always wondering who it is behind the keyboard. What it is about that person that would make it so that I would trust their opinion about anything.
I am sure as you came across this review that you had the same kinds of concerns. You don’t know me. You may have concerns that I am being paid to write this review or to support a specific brand, and let me assure you that this is not the case at all.
I have written reviews of different products before related to reloading, and I have done this primarily because, in my nearly 5 decades of being an avid marksman and hunter, I have had the opportunity to try all kinds of different products and see which ones really work best in the reloading process. This is why I wanted to spend a little time writing an article related to the best trimmers out there.
Top 10 Case Trimmers on the Market Right Now!
#10 LEE PRECISION 90670, Deluxe Power Quick Trim Case Trimmer
- A great product at a great price
- It will accurately trim cases
- Extremely easy to use
- Not as good as most bench mounted trimmers
- Can become a little difficult to use after you have used it for a while
- Requires you to use a reloading press and a special die
This is an extremely effective tool, especially at the price charged. You use your reloading press by simply attaching it to the press itself. The die already comes included in the set you purchase, so you are ready to go once you have connected it to the press.
You insert the resized case into the bottom of the die while the cutter is placed at the top. You crank it by hand and tell the process is completed. It is a slow process I will say, but it works effectively each and every time, and you can buy this product that a price that is far less than what you would pay for other models.
It is easy to make adjustments so you get the trim length you desire, either shorter or longer, by making access to the adjustments a snap. It is true that they are going be far less accurate for those who are looking for the shorter range, but you will still get a quality trimming job done. If all you are looking for is a trimmer that will trim your cases and do it at a price that is a lot more amenable to your budget, then this is clearly the option for you.

- Can handle a large range of cases
- Great design that provides accuracy and stability
- Does not come with Shell holders

To hold the cartridges in place, it uses standard Shell holders, meaning you don’t have to purchase any specific brand or type. Anyone should work within this machine, even ones that are not produced by Lyman.
The standard Lyman cutter head is included with the product, ensuring you get precise cuts each and every time. Plus, it comes with nine of the more popular pilots, giving you an accurate cut each time for any case.
This is a durable well-designed trimmer, that has a ½ inch thick flat bar so it is heavy-duty enough to work without the need of a vice or locking in place. It does come with four mounted holes, however, so that you can easily install it into your workbench.
You will easily be able to use this for hours on end, as the handle is ergonomically designed, and it is perfect for both left or right-handed people. A great choice at an affordable price.
