This was Plan B after Plan A failed
The drill/tap/screw remover from another brand failed to extract a stuck 7 PRC case from a bushing FL sizer, even after freezing the die. And even after using Imperial Sizing Wax.
I ordered another die because it was on sale, and I figured I would also try the FA stuck case remover because I had very little to lose.
It worked like a champ! Hopefully I won’t screw up and get another piece of brass stuck, but if I do, I will reach for the Frankford Arsenal tool.
Would you recommend this?
Yes, I would recommend to a friend
Broke the teeth out
The puller has grooves or teeth to grasp the stick case. The chipped off on one side.

The best stuck case remover I have seen.
Looks Great, Hope I Never Have to Use it!
A well made, quality product and something all reloaders should have on hand. Unlike Caleb, I won't be hammering a unlubed case into any of my rifle dies. And with any luck, this will be sitting on my shelf unused for a long time. But if I ever do have a stuck case, this should rescue my sizing die!
STUCK CASE REMOVER
NOT ABLE TO MAKE IT WORK ON A FORSTER PRESS. THE PRIMARY REASON I BOUGHT IT HOWEVER WILL KEEP IT AS I HAVE OTHER PRESSES IT SHOULD WORK ON. DID NOT MAKE MY DAY WHEN THAT HAPPENED RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX!
Works but...
This case remover is designed and made strong.
Works well as long as the case base is sticking out of the die enough for the clamp to attach to.
However, if the case is completely in the die, it wont work. You must have enough of the case protruding from the die to clamp to.
Probably handy
This is probably a handy tool to have on the reloading bench, but it didn’t work for the stuck case that I had. I’ve been reloading 50+ years and have had 2 stuck cases. Recently I managed to stick a 300 Blackout LC case in a RCBS Short Base die. Just couldn’t get enough torque on it even though it was in a Redding Big Boss press. A 1/4” tap and bolt did the job. I’ll keep the tool though - perhaps it’ll save the day sometime in the future.

The stuck case remover did not work.
Do not bother, there are cheaper fixes!!
I very impressed when I saw this item in the catalogue. I have been looking for a bigger, better, stuck case remover, and this looked like it. Unfortunately, it was back ordered.
When I finally got it, it took a while for me to have a stuck case. I got it out of the case and tried to attach it to my RCBS Rockchucker Supreme. It was fiddely. The bump that the bolt goes into, to tighten the jaws, hit the side of the press. You have to move the jaws until you find the sweet spot and then it will attach.
I then tried to remove the case using the tool and the leverage of the handle. No, luck! I hit the lever with a plastic mallet, no leverage tool available, and it sheared off the case rim.
I then used the RCBS Stuck Case Remover-2 Kit - 607887, Reloading Tools & Accessories.
I took the de-capping assembly out using the RCBS extractor nut. I then sprayed some penetrating oil. I waited ten minutes. Then, I used the extracting rod provided in the kit. A couple of wacks with a four ounce hammer, and the case came right out.
About a month later, it happened again. Same situation. I used the Platinum Tool, it took the rim off. I turned the die around to access a clean part of the rim. It tore that off.
I went back to the RCBS Stuck Case Remover-2 Kit - 607887 and followed the previous procedure. It came right out.
I would not waste the money on this tool.
