Lyman universal case trimmer

[usmc0811]

I guy I ran into sold me a Lyman Universal case trimmer for $25. It is missing the 9 caliber case pilots but I can get them online for around 17-20 bucks so in total it will only cost me about $45 total, not bad as I saw these bran new going for 90-110 bucks online. Now it looks old and some paint is missing as if it was used a lot but that shouldn't be an issue. The handle that you turn to tighten down on a case and lock it in place doesn't want to move so I might have to work with it to break it loose, might be from sitting for a long time or something. Maybe a little oil will help. There is also a nut on the left side that I might have to loosen up. If anyone has experience with an issue like this and fixed it let me know what you did. So overall I think I did ok what you all say about it?

If you think you did okay that's all that matters.... try some penetrating oil

I have one, but I bought it new and haven't had any trouble yet. If you get it unstuck, there is also a second cutting shaft that you can buy that allows you to hook it up to a drill or electric screw driver. I use that for volume trimming and it works well.
