Default Reloading Gadgets?

I am thinking I may need (read that want) a few more gadgets for my loading bench. I have a few things in mind but would like your opinions. Other than the basic tools, press, dies, powder measure, lube system, and scales, what do you find useful and why?

Arky,
I would be lost without these additions to the basics:

case trimmer
neck lubing brushes
chamfering tools
primer pocket brushes
primer pocket reamer (I use a lot of military brass)
collet style bullet puller
stuck case remover (used only twice and home made)

Scale weights ,case remover(never have used it but I'm ready ) ,extra scales ,case cleaner, Hand primer ,just to name a few. More than one press also comes in handy at times ,maybe you just need a few round and haven't finished what you are set up on . I have single stage and progressive both setup but probably use the single stage the most .

I got the case trimmer when I bought my first batch of loading stuff. My daughter bought me a dial caliper for XMas. Now I am trimming all of my cases. I never realized how much they did flow. Of course they worked fine before I started trimming, but you know things are...

First thing I would get would be a handpriming tool, then a powder measure. For trimming/chamfering I use a cordless drill to eliminate a lot of the hand work. A quality easy to read scale is a big plus.

1. Electric case trimmer SAVES TIME
2. Electric powder dispencer SAVES TIME
3. Electric powder sacle SAVES TIME

I reload quite a lot and SAVEING TIME is a must for me...<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
