Frankford Arsenal Universal Decapping Tool
The manual depriming tool is precision-engineered from rugged, pressure-cast aluminum alloy, ensuring exceptional durability and longevity under rigorous reloading conditions. It features our innovative (patent pending) Universal Collet System, designed to securely grip and extract primers from a wide spectrum of metallic and semi-metallic cartridge cases with unparalleled efficiency. In just four streamlined steps, reloaders can manually deprime their brass or steel cases, optimizing workflow in both benchrest and tactical reloading environments. This fully enclosed system not only prevents primer debris from escaping but also incorporates an integrated spent primer collection tube, allowing for clean and safe disposal of used primers, minimizing contamination and workspace hazards.
The Universal Collet System is engineered to accommodate an extensive range of calibers, from the delicate .20 gauge bronze shotgun shells up to the formidable .338 Lapua Magnum rifle cases, including semi-automatic pistol brass. This versatility makes it an indispensable tool for precision shooters, competitive marksmen, and military-grade ammunition reloaders alike. Military-style primers and stubborn crimped primers are effortlessly removed thanks to the tools ergonomic full-length handle, which provides superior leverage and control, reducing operator fatigue during high-volume depriming sessions.
Designed with operational efficiency in mind, this depriming tool boasts an extremely effective mechanism that accelerates the primer removal process without compromising case integrity. Its compact yet robust construction ensures consistent performance and reliability, even under demanding reloading schedules.
Equipped with an automatic case ejection box, the tool facilitates seamless extraction of deprimed cases, streamlining the reloading workflow and enhancing throughput. This feature is particularly beneficial in semi-automated reloading setups where speed and precision are paramount.
Included with the tool are three interchangeable collet nozzles, each calibrated for different case diameters, enabling precise primer extraction across a broad spectrum of cartridge sizes. This adaptability ensures optimal grip and minimizes the risk of case damage during depriming.
The primer capture tube is designed for quick and easy removal, allowing reloaders to efficiently empty spent primers and maintain a clean working environment. This feature is critical for maintaining safety standards and preventing primer buildup within the tool.
Compatible with both brass and rifle cases, this manual depriming tool is a versatile and essential component for any serious ammunition reloaders toolkit, delivering consistent, reliable performance across diverse calibers and case materials.
