Frankford Arsenal Case Prep Essentials Kit – Hand Reloading Tools

Description

Prepping brass is one of those jobs that separates good handloads from great ones, and the Frankford Arsenal Case Prep Essentials Kit packs the hand tools to do it right. It covers the core steps every reloader runs into: cleaning up case mouths, squaring primer pockets, and clearing the crimp from military surplus brass. Everything lives in a lightweight plastic storage case so you aren't digging through a drawer looking for the right cutter.

The cutter heads are made from hardened high speed steel, which holds an edge through a lot of brass before you'd ever think about replacing anything. The two rubber coated, ergonomically molded handles give you a sure grip when you're spinning through a batch, and they screw onto whichever tool head you need at the moment. That two-handle setup means you can keep a couple of jobs loaded up and ready instead of swapping heads constantly.

What the Case Prep Essentials Kit Handles

Inside the case you get an inside chamfer tool for smoothing and beveling the case mouth so bullets seat clean, plus an outside deburr tool to knock the burr off after trimming. You also get large and small primer pocket uniformer/cleaner tools that square up and clean out the pocket for consistent primer seating, and large and small primer pocket crimp cutter tools that make quick work of crimped primer pockets on once-fired military brass.

Why the Frankford Arsenal Case Prep Kit Earns Bench Space

This is a manual kit, so it's a great fit for reloaders who want full control and feel at the bench without committing to a powered prep station. It works with both large and small primer families, so rifle and handgun brass are both covered. For anyone loading .223, 5.56, or other crimped-pocket cartridges, the included crimp cutters alone make this set worth having around. Toss it on the bench, keep it in your range bag, or set it up for a weekend brass-prep session and it holds its own.
