Why have the Lee case trimming tools been discontinued ?

They haven't been discontinued. Either your supplier doesn't have them in stock, or is dropping them. But Lee still lists them on their website. Here is the web link:

Try Midway, Midsouth, Graf and sons, and etc.

As far as I know they're still available. Haven't seen anything about them being discontinued by Lee.
I just ordered a few more calibers to add to my kit.

Thanks for the replies - my mistake. I started reloading M1 carbine again after many years (my grandson loves to shoot the carbine) and I realized my Lee case guide would not enter the deprimed case. Evidently the guide has oxidized over the years enough to change it's dimension.

Instead of using the lock stud and shellholder, I use Lee's 3 jaw chuck and my cordless drill. It seems a whole lot faster and easier to use.
