I have the RCBS, and use it with a battery operated drill gun, used it for years, it works great.

I've got a Gracey and the RCBS. A buddy has the Redding and he loves it. Sold me his Gracey to get it. Looks like the way to go for multiple cartridges, the Gracey is really good for one. Swapping calibers takes a bit.

I do this same thing. Pulled the handle off and just connect my drill to the shaft. Fast and easy.

However, I much prefer the Lee case gauge trimmers. They are super fast and take up no bench space.
