STAINLESS STEEL CASE TRIMMER KIT Reviews & Ratings

L.E. Wilson Case Trimmer and Sinclair Mounting Stand with “SharkFin” Case Holder Clamp (order case holders separately.) This mounting stand and clamping attachment make case trimming much quicker and comfortable. The mounting stand can be C-clamped or permanently mounted to a bench top. The “SharkFin” Case Holder Clamp swings quickly into place and provides downward pressure on the case holder while trimming.

Great Trimmer, No attaching screws?

The Wilson trimmer works great. It is easy to adjust and set up. It cuts square and to a consistent length. I only have one minor negative thing, that isn't a reflection of the trimmer. When I got mine it did not come with screws to attach the base to the trimmer. It was an easy fix, I had to get two hex head screws that are 10-32 thread pitch. I had to buy one inch long screws and cut them down to about .875 to get them to the proper length to attach the trimmer to the base. It would have been nice to have the screws included. Maybe I was just unlucky and they usually are, I don't know. That being said I would highly recommend it.

Excellent

It's hard to beat Wilson tools of any kind, and this trimmer is no exception. I've had mine for about 2 years now, and it still functions flawlessly. This trimmer differs from all others in that it uses case holders and you'll need to purchase the specific one(s) for each caliber(s). This all but eliminates wobble, mis-alignment, etc., as the case is perfectly centered. I was reluctant to purchase this trimmer for this reason, but I'm glad I did.

Perfect out of the box!

This accessory is great. It assembled flawlessly and the shark fin required no adjustment to get rolling. It's a pleasure working with perfect tools.
