Does anyone know who made this case trimmer ? Or is this just an accessory for a Lee, Forester, Wilson trimmer, etc ? And does anyone have any experience with it ?

Not for sure but kind of seems like it was called zip trim or something along those lines. Not sure who made it. Maybe Lee????

Not sure about the trimmer but I do like that movie even though TC is a jack***.

Thanks there's a LEE Zip Trim. I don't believe it is the same as the one in the movie. But same concept. I liked the construction of the one in the movie. I was thinking of using it with a Wilson trimmer instead of using a cordless drill.

It's kind of garbage, at least I think so. Broke one in 2014 or so. I didn't even know these were still around to be honest.

I never used one but.yeah it was from Lee I believe. But I don't think it was for trimming but to chamfer the I.D & O.D
of the case mouth.
The way he is using it it would never give you a straight face to bore unless there's a pilot on the tool and some way to stop cutting at a certain fixed length. But he is using a 60° chamfer tool?
Don't waste the money on one and buy a foster trimmer or similar instead.

Don't really know but there seems to be a lot of RCBS gear on the the work bench.

I use the Dillon trimmer for my cases where available and when its outrageous total cost makes it somewhat cost-effective. For seldom-shot rounds, I use an old set of Lyman trimmer dies in my drill press. It takes a few cases to set the drill head max extension with its built-in stop.
