Anyone use it ?

No, but the fact it has a built-in prep center makes it all the more useful. Too bad it doesn’t have any reviews yet. Maybe you can be the first?

I see that have an orange one as well. Other then color, I wonder if there's any difference...
They sure do look well built but reviews would help a lot.

Unless you compete i can't recommend getting into annealing.

[Capybara]

That's a really cheap annealer, I would be curious about how well it performs and how long it will last and function.

kc, no annealing? What if you have expensive brass like .30-30 and want it to last? Annealing seems like a valid thing for any rifle reloader to me, unless you only shoot .223/5.56 where you can likely get tons of cheap brass? Good quality brass in larger calibers is so expensive these days, annealing seems to make sense to me?

Annealing may make brass last longer, but that's not the point of an annealer.
Annealing is done to insure correct neck size and brass spring back consistency after sizing. It may add a few more firings to the life of the case but in my experience primer pockets let go before necks splits.
30-30 is not expensive brass. I have a marlin 336 in 30-30 and have plenty of brass to feed it. Ammo is common enough to buy and save the brass. Think about it, I've been reloading for over 30 years and annealing just became a thing in the last 10 years. There's plenty of reloads made every day that never see an annealer. I reload for 27 calibers and only an hand full get annealed.

What I'm getting at is you will not likely see enough of a increase in brass life to justify the cost of even a cheep annealer

Annealing is also useful for resizing cases for weird calibers.

But I just use a propane torch and a 1/2" deep socket and extension to rotate it. Not like you'll do more than 20 at a time, and once done they're done.

It does extend brass life if you reload. But $2xx buys a lot of cases.

I'm into a AMP annealer for $1600 It was worth it for my competition stuff but i'm not going to use it for my range pick up brass.

[BrassCase]

Looks like a very nice unit. I like the easily adjustable torch holder.

[Waldog]

My son has the Annealeez and really likes it. It is very similar and a few bucks cheaper. I've used it and it's simple adjust and operate. Works very well. It DOES make your brass last longer and it particularly useful in reforming cases for obsolete cases i.e., turning 300 Savage cases into 250 Savage or Making 219 Donaldson cases from 30-30 brass etc. Do you need one? That's debatable. I've been loading for over 50 years and never owned an annealer, unless you count a hardware store propane tourch, LOL!

[BigBronco]

Just finished building one of these.

I use the Annealeez
