TRIM-IT II CASE TRIMMER Reviews & Ratings

TRIM-IT II CASE TRIMMER

The TRIM-IT II mounts to any standard drill or drill press, making your case trimming faster and a whole lot easier. The adjustable 3-way cutter features a 3-sided carbide blade that allows you to trim, chamfer, and de-burr virtually any caliber of rifle or pistol brass. It features a built-in micrometer that allows for supremely accurate cut-length control and quick adjustability. The TRIM-IT II is not caliber specific, interchangeable dies are available but sold separately.

Never purchase this!

Sorry I fell for this! You will ruin more brass than successfuly trimmed. Followed instructions for setting the trim. Too much de-burr, adjusted too much chamfer. Once it's just right it will hold for about 3-4 decent cuts and back to the drawing board. Lack of customer service. I would give it away.

Design needs to be improved

It is hard to adjust. Once adjusted, it is hard to hold the casing or the brass, so it doesn't rotate. It takes longer to trim my cases, even when I use a drill! I won't recommend it. Besides all these problems, or maybe why I had such a hard time making it work, the trimmer I received didn't have a logo on it. It didn't seem like it came from Brownells. Was this trimmer a replica??

Blade is horrible

This tool has potential. The adjustment is horrible due it having too much slop in the threads that adjust the blade side to side and the slot for that allen screw is slightly tapered making it difficult to turn in small amounts for fine adjustments (head of screw binds in the slot). Can't be precise with adjustments. The blade has a terrible cut. the "V" is so rounded out that it doesn't even chamfer or de-burr since the neck wall is thinner than the rounded 'point' in the V (should I say U?). Since I still need to chamfer and de-burr, what's the point in the cost for the three-way trimmer if it only trims? See the photos (I know some are with the case on the wrong side ..pics are to see roundness vs. neck wall width. This is a Lapua 6.5 Creedmoor case (3x fired) never neck turned. Give it a good blade and the other gripes could be lived with ..Giraud or Gracey is probably worth the extra cash.

Nope

Lots of run out and entire housing on 2 out of 3 of mine wobbled even when using an official trim it 2 rechargeable motor. Constantly went out of adjustment and chattered. Only 1 out of 3 that I owned worked decent.
