I had the original home gas check maker by hanned precision probably thirty years ago and it was slow but worked fine and it was set up for pop cans. Pat Marlin tool works very well with p.014 flashing. I have a free chek3 single stroke.Also that works well.
They do not crimp of course and dont  work on every gas check shank, but they work on most of them and i'm pretty happy with the results.
As far as everybody complaining about the cost to save five cents , look at the reloading hobby in general , it's all like that.


When I started reloading,  I paid $10 each for a RCBS Jr and Ohaus scale. Powder was about $7.50/lb, primers were $8.00/1000. But I was making $3.35 an hour an a teenager.   
Like the song says,  everything changes.

With my gas check maker I use aluminum sheet instead of copper. These are for a 30 BR for CBA Matches.  I keep meaning to pull it out and screw on the Lilja barrel to my Bat SV and shoot it some more Just prefer to shoot the BS bullets .....

I've used them in a couple CBA matches and I think they do pretty well.Amerimax flashing ftom ACE Hardware is what i use.
I think they run me about $3 a thousand. The tool paid for itself very quickly
