[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 346639, member: 9215"] "only thing I'm not crazy about is the thin metal tube for a lever handle..." Well, I like the idea of a solid handle too but, fact is, it's not very thin and it would take a tremendous load on that handle to bend it, far more than any legitimate reloading task I can think of. Suppose if someone screwed a die down couple of inches below normal and then stood on the handle it could be bent. But at that, it would serve to protect the press body and I 'spect that's why they made it that way; be cheap to replace that handle. ?? (And absolutely anything can be busted or at least bent if we try hard enough, including the Rock Chucker and Boss press top straps! That has been done, but not with [U]legitimate[/U] reloading tasks! It [U][I]would[/I][/U] take a LOT of effort to bend or bust an Ultra Mag tho.) Seems any legitimate manufactoring defects should become obvious in two years. Paying the extra price, twice the cost of the Lee, to obtain a "life time warranty" is a high cost for something not likely to be needed but some do like that. [/QUOTE]
