Hornady Lock-N-Load Quick Change Hand Tool - Precision Reloading Made Easy
- Firearm Group:
- Universal
The Hornady Lock-N-Load Quick Change Hand Tool brings efficiency and comfort to the repetitive work of case prep. Its dual-sided chuck design lets you swap between tools in seconds—chamfer, deburr, primer pocket cleaners, brushes, and any other tool with 8-32 threads—without fumbling or twisting. If you're processing hundreds of cases for the next reload session, this hand tool cuts handling time and reduces fatigue on your hands and fingers compared to traditional single-tool designs.
What makes this system work is the speed. Most reloaders spend more time changing tools than actually using them. The quick-change chuck eliminates that friction: flip to the next tool, keep working. It's the kind of small improvement that compounds over a long session, especially when you're prepping cases across multiple calibers.
The kit comes loaded with three dual-sided chucks and a complete set of prep tools—chamfer/deburr combinations, large and small primer pocket cleaners, and neck brushes—all ready to handle 22 cal, 25 cal/6mm, 270 cal/7mm, 30 cal, 35 cal/9mm, and 45 cal cases. That breadth means you're covered whether you're working a single caliber or rotating through several loads.

Frequently Asked Questions
What tools work with the Lock-N-Load Quick Change Hand Tool?
Any case prep tool with 8-32 threads will fit the dual-sided chuck—chamfer tools, primer pocket reamers and cleaners, brushes, and other standard reloading implements. The kit includes chamfer/deburr, primer pocket cleaners, and neck brushes to get you started.
What calibers does the included kit cover?
The kit supplies tools for 22 cal, 25 cal/6mm, 270 cal/7mm, 30 cal, 35 cal/9mm, and 45 cal. Each caliber gets a brush set and primer pocket cleaners appropriate to case diameter.
How does the dual-sided chuck speed up case prep?
Both sides of the chuck hold tools, so you can load one tool on each side. Flip the chuck to switch tools instantly without unscrewing and re-threading—ideal when alternating between operations like chamfering and deburring, or cleaning different parts of the case.
Can I use this with tools I already own?
Yes, as long as your existing tools have 8-32 threads. The quick-change system is universal across Hornady's case prep tool line and compatible with any aftermarket tool designed to that standard.
