    Lee hand primer fix

    I had a handle breakage a while back on one of my Lee hand primer units and being the old round model the replacement handle are no longer made and I really didn't want to go to the new square ones that I have heard are nowhere near as good so I thought I should have a go at making a new handle for mine.
    First up was finding a suitable piece of steel and part of an older flapper target at a 1/2 in thick was just right for the job.

    A few cuts later

    and a couple of holes (The two shafts they fit are one drill size different)

    and a bit of a clean up

    So in about an hour I have two functioning hand primers again with the certain knowedge that if (when) the other handle breaks I wont have to be worried how I will replace them.

      Now what's the weak link?

      Not the handle.

      Nice work. You're a born fabricator.

        Well done Sir, now that is skill!

        Yes, the new square one's are rubbish. I updated to the new one's and within half an hour fished the old round one out of the bin. I apologised to it and like an old friend it's still going strong.
