I'm not quite ready to give it away, but I'd avoid paying money for the Frankford Arsenal Vibra-prime primer tube loader.
I bought one and it's pretty infuriating. I loaded about 400 Winchester primers through it and thought I had it "down" but after loading some Federal primers today, I'm this -><- close to throwing it away (or at least giving it away).
Way too many upside down primers, primers that stick in the tubes, etc.
It might work for someone with the time to BS around with it and get the bugs out, but if I buy another one it will be the expensive, but known to work, Dillon model.

I've been burning through my last case of Winchester primers and its been more or less functioning, although right at the border of "worth the effort".
My last 150 rounds I had to stop twice to correct problems -- an upside down primer that made it into the tube, and a cockeyed primer that avoided going down the tube, but did flip in the tube opening and vibrate back into the tray.
Before I give it away, I'm going to try more Federal primers against all the tubes I have (I foolishly bought a three-pack of extra large pistol tubes).
