Hornady Die Wrench

Should have bought one of these a long time ago. It works great for tightening the plate nut, which is a complete struggle without this tool. The price always made me forego buying one, but after having multiple bullets get messed up because the plate nut wasn't tight, I bought one. It really works.

Nice tool for the loading press. Fits where most crescent wrenches won't. Perfect for holding shell plate during changing. Wish I had it years ago.

Great wrench. Fits what it’s designed for.

It does its job

The Hornady Deluxe Die Wrench is a handy little tool to have around if you own a Hornady Lock n Load AP progressive press. It's particularly helpful for snugging the bolt that holds down the shellplate. The little "bump" jutting out to the side of the open wrench end fits snugly in one of the stations of the shell plate to prevent it from rotating as you snug up the hold down bolt. It's also handy for snugging up the collet that sets the depth of the pin on the Hornady .223 resizing/depriming station. The closed wrench end is sized to tighten the collars that lock down on the LnL bushings, and it works fine, but I wish it was an open ended wrench since it can't slip over some of the larger accessories (such as to tighten the collar on the powder drop station, for example) since it can't fit over them to get to the collar. Also, one small quibble... it's more than adequate, but feels a little poorly machined (slightly rough around the edges, as if the CNC milling bit was getting dull, perhaps). I'm not sorry I bought it, but it could be a little more refined and I'd prefer that both ends of the wrench be open-mouthed.

I got this wrench from the Amazon Warehouse deals. It was pitted and scratched and in original packaging. BUT that was the exact way it was described in the description. I have gotten a number of items that didn't have the damaged described. As a wrench, the pitting and scratches did not affect the tools function. The tool is perfectly sized for all your Hornady die needs. I would recommend this to anyone with a Hornady reloader and/or dies.

This wrench works very will with the Hornady lock rings. I've been using a standard open-end wrench, and it works ok, but the jaws do not cover the entire surface on the lock rings. This wrench does, and it is light. It has a closed-end as well for when you can get over the top of a die. It also has a closed end slot for the smaller depth adjustment lock nut on some of the dies. Great tool at a great price!

Kind of expensive for what it is (a laser-cut, anodized piece of aluminum), but a very useful addition to my reloading bench. I've got the Hornady LnL AP press and this wrench is used every time I set up to reload. Even the little protruding nub at the one end is surprisingly helpful for tightening and loosening the shell plate bolt. A great addition to the Hornady LnL system.

A must for any reloaders workbench

Buen producto, cumple la función sin llegar a dar fuertes aprietes ya que es de aluminio

Wenn man eine Hornady LNL Presse besitzt, ist dieser Schlüssel eigentlich ein Must have! Damit kann man die Shellplates erst richtig festziehen, ohne das sich die Schraube plötzlich wieder löst. Leider ist er relativ teuer für ein Stück Alu! Lieber schauen ob man woanders nicht das komplette Tool-Set bekommt, dass man an die LNL hinten befestigt! Dieses gibts dann für ein paar Euros mehr, allerdings ist da dann der Schlüssel auch schon mit drin!
