Saw this on OL magazine. Nifty little set up and not to expensive if you roll your own

Not a bad product. Not sure the $100 price point is worth it at this point in my life, but maybe.
I wonder how many people will end up with cases stuck in their dies using it, however.

When I fire new brass a few times,, it's modified.
There ya go

Cool! I have been making my own modified case for quite some time now. It cost me <$10 for the drill and tap. Since I already have a portable drill press, it works like a champ for me.
I am a sucker for innovation, and might still invest in one. Thanks for sharing.

IMO it's a clever design, and less expensive than machinery.

The down side I see is if the case is driven into the FL die to far due to tool pressure or "Gorilla Grip" it will close the neck rendering the case useless. IMO a body die would be 1st choice.

I just tested my theory, one would have to be very inept to push a fired case deep enough into a FL die to size the neck using this tool as I understand it.
I stand corrected.

I'm with FEENIX on this one. The only thing I do different is to use a v-slot vise jaw and then wrap the shell in a strip of Emory cloth with the abrasive side towards the shell. It really helps to stop the case from spinning without crushing it while drilling/tapping .
I've done similar but used a piece of leather

Hmmmm.....
I've got a RCBS stuck case remover. It comes with a drill and a tap. For much less than $100, you can drill out a primer pocket and tap it with SAE threads.
Much less trouble than that little gizmo.
....and I believe the same thing can be achieved with a little Cerro-safe.

Here's what I use. It's a 2x2 drilled 1st with multiple sized holes, then I split it length ways (ripped) to almost the end (not in half).
I insert the brass in the appropriate sized 2x2 hole and place the 2x2 into a vice under my drill press and squeeze the 2x2 to firmly hold the brass. I then use the drill press to bore out the primer pocket. Next, I remove the drill bit and replace it with a tap. I manually turn the drill press arbor by hand to start the tap straight. Then, leaving the started tap in the brass, I remove the tap from the drill press and continue the final tapping by hand. This ensures the drill press doesn't turn the tap too fast stripping the threads.
The hole labeled 308 is used for 6ARC, 6.5CM, 260Rem, 308Win, 30-06, etc. The 300 hole is for magnums.
