Pool Ball Press Handle - The Firearms Forum

Caneman · 11-01-2011, 10:50 AM

these look pretty good, some of the guys that have them like them better than the roller handles as they say with the RH you have to be square to the press all the times and it can be hard on the wrist... the ball allows the hand to move around on top of it...

Cute... Think I'd make one that looked like a skull.

Go down to auto-zone and get one. You can even get them that have eyes that light up, just need to add 12 volt power supply.

They also have one that's a .44mag cylinder

I like the pool ball handles! They will look good on my LEE stuff too. I'll have to find some somewhere.

Speaking of LEE presses, I can hear it coming...

If you have a local pub that has pool tables you may be able to acquire one there. If not a billiard store should have what you need.

Sweet. now I need me a couple 8 balls for my RCBS

RustyFN · 11-01-2011, 07:00 PM

I have some. They are very comfortable in my hand. Last I heard AdamN over at Glock Talk had some 8 balls he was selling. Adam is a great guy, I got mine from him.

Looks like I need to get another one.

Caneman · 11-01-2011, 07:30 PM

adam sells them for $15 which includes shipping... he can get you just about anything you want... email him at adam_neat{at}yahoo<dot>com and he will set you up...

for you green guys:

zant · 11-03-2011, 11:22 AM

I use a Hurst T-handle on my Dillion...like it

Not that it matters , but the "cool" factor is way up there! (IMO)

Insulation Tim · 11-03-2011, 02:01 PM

So.....how would one make one if he had the pool ball?

Got mine in today and looking at the pool ball it is drilled and tapped to fit the handle... probably need a jig to hold the ball while drilling out the pilot hole for the tap, then I believe it is 5/8" thread, not sure of the pitch...

Caneman · 11-03-2011, 10:08 PM

Aw hail, I thought that was LDs bench

If I were making them I would use an endmill to bore a hole for a threaded bushing. and then just epoxy the bushing into the ball. Or bore a hole for the handle of my press and epoxy the ball right to my press.

Caneman · 11-04-2011, 11:11 PM

been using these for a few days and i really like them, i get more leverage on the handle and it is more comfortable... here is one mounted on my RC

one on my LnL AP

the blue number 2 ball looks good on the Dillons, for you smurfs out there!

BobMcG · 11-06-2011, 09:05 AM

They do look really nice at that and have a definite cool factor as well.

Guess I must be fairly well diversified 'cause I'd need them in blue, green and red.

JLA · 11-06-2011, 04:28 PM

Or you could just get 8 balls. theyd go on anything
