From reloading presses, to tumblers and case trimmers, Frankford aims to get both competitive and recreational shooters from the bench to the bullseye by providing the tools to create the most consistent and effective ammunition possible.
Hand Deprimer
The Frankford Arsenal Hand Deprimer allows you to break out of the confines of the reloading room and take your depriming anywhere. With a hand operated, portable design, you can quickly and easily deprime your brass from the couch. The collection tube catches old primers and is see through to easily monitor fullness level. When the catch tube is full, simply twist off and empty. After the primer is removed, the Deprimer auto ejects the case for a faster and easier operation.
- Universal collet system to deprime brass from .20 cal up to .338 Lapua
- Comes with 3 different collets for different diameter cases
- Robust die cast aluminum construction for extended use

I'm glad I bought this tool. It is easy to use and very study. I've been using it a lot to deprive cartridge cases. I can deprime quickly and effortlessly.

Wish I'd got this a long time ago, it's super easy to use and much better than doing it on the press. May look cheep in pics but it's stout. Handles the hornady outfitter sealed primers fine, so I'm sure it'll do anything else I can throw at it.

LOVE this thing. There is an art to using it, but once dialed in it is awesome for "zoned out decapping while watching TV"! It decaps 9mm, .38/.357 and .40/10mm with ease. I used it on crappy, muddy range brass and after a good wash, I started decapping. The "little plastic finger" collet adapter, of the appropriate size (there are 3, sm, med. , and lg.) is inserted and away you go. You will be tempted to run the collet tighter than it needs to be, leave a HAIR of slop to put the casing in it AND roll it around to be sure the decapping pin is IN the flash hole and squeeze. Going through a 1000 rounds of grungy brass was quite a workout, so don't overdo it! LoL NOTE: These little plastic collet fingers are what makes it work, BUT they are "little PLASTIC collet finger thingies" and they will wear out eventually. I have done 3000 rds but the cleaner the range brass is, the longer they should last. I haven't worn mine out yet, but I have ordered two more sets.... cuz Murphy!!! The only bad thing is that the medium collet will be the one MOST people will use (and wear out), and they only come from the manufacturer in sets of .... sm., med., and lg,!!! Soooo you will have a lot of smalls and larges laying around. That said, the thing is awesome. Is it as fast as sitting in your garage, shop, man cave at a press running the cases through a decapping station... NO, but you are on autopilot watching TV while you do it. Like watching TV and shelling peas or folding laundry... whatever. Take your time, set it up and get a "process" going, and decap brass. I decap my brass so I can wet tumble it with cleaner and stainless steel pins. If you don't remove the spent primers you will "tumble weld" (with the steel pins) the primers in the cases and ruin them!!! I just finished another 1000 this afternoon.... wonderful item, well made... does the job! Does a great job!!!

Easy to use. Very convenient being able to sit in my LazyBoy, with the TV on, and decap spent casings. Makes decapping fairly quick also. Durable, functional and strong quality. Good value.

Normally, I decap cases on the press with a dedicated decapping die which necessitates a lot of extra movement and die changes.This tool works as described and even removes heavy crimped in primers in NATO cases. It's all metal as well except for the collets which are plastic but I don't see any issue with that either as all they do is align the case with the decapping pin so they don't have to be extremely tight. So long as the case slides in, all is good.It does take some force to remove heavy crimped in primers but the tool is up to the job, so long as your hand is as well. Requires a hard squeeze so your hand gets needed exercise at the same time and it's ambidextrous as well so right hand or left hand don't matter.As others have stated, the collets won't stay attached to the tool, they fall off which is no big deal for me as they will be kept in the box with my dedicated decapping die and unlike others, I have no issue with the primer catcher coming off, you just need to seat it fully in the tool and it goes nowhere.All in all, this is a good, well thought out tool that makes decapping much easier and quicker than press depriming.Can sit in my recliner and decap cases. Heck of a plan.Don't think for a second that reloading is just for the younger set. I'm 74 and I've been building all my handloads for rifles and handguns for about 35 years now and I've amassed quite a bit of reloading tools and accessories and this tool is a welcome edition. It also provides my 75 year old somewhat arthritic hands, needed squeezing exercise so it accomplishes 2 required tasks, it deprimes spent cases for reloading and it exercises my stiff fingers....lol

Also die Qualität stimmt. Das Teil ist nicht aus Plastik. Trotzdem ist es schon umständlich. Manchmal klemmt ne Hülse. Manchmal verkanntet sich was. Ich entzünder damit Abends vorm Fernseher so 50 Hülsen. Das dauert dann ein bis zwei Werbepausen. Wenn ich mehr entzündern möchte, dann lieber mit ner Presse.

This de-primer is almost perfect (in my opinion), but not quite. Pros: I like the metal construction. I like the simplicity of operation once set up. I like the concept. I like the fact that I was able to remove stubborn large rifle primers from 30-06 cases with some effort, but they came out. My experience with this tool is once I got the right size collect installed (there are 3--the small one comes installed, and the other 2 collets are mounted on the bottom side of the frame), it worked very well. Cons: The O-ring in the knurled sleeve wants to keep working out. Not a big deal, but annyoying. The primer catcher hole sometimes spits de-primed primers back out at the operator if you tilt the tool too far one way or the other. The clear plastic sleeve works loose on occasion. If the operator is not careful, the sleeve can work loose and spill primers everywhere. Another con is the small collet does not want to seem to mount on the underside of the frame. I did not force it. I just got a small lanyard and looped it thru the small collet and around the frame when that collet is not in use. I did not have the negative experience (yet?) as some others have had with a bent pin or difficulty getting the right tightness on the collet. My experience was almost perfect. I de-primed some 30-06 brass today for starters, and then I de-primed some .380 brass. I ended up using the same collet (medium size) for both round sizes--it just worked out that way. I am glad this item is on Amazon Prime now. I bought mine back in January and had to pay more for it and shipping not from Amazon Prime. The price on here now is very reasonable compared to what I had paid, something like $10 less, if I remember correctly. Overall, a brilliant concept for a hand-held multiple caliber de-primer with a few quirks. Definitely buy yourself one for $38 if you reload any brass size from a .20+ caliber pistol all the way up to a 30-06 (biggest I've got).
