DERRACO Engineering Ugly Annealer Brass CASE Annealing Heat Treating Tool International Version (Check the Base Plate Engraving for techinical Support Contact and Reliability)

I decided to replace my old Annealeez when its rubber wheel melted black sticky goo on my nice, clean rifle brass. This Ugly Annealer is a huge improvement, and it works flawlessly. First of all, there is nothing to melt. Second, it's highly and quickly adjustable to fit most rifle cartridges using only metric hex keys that are provided. There is an excellent YouTube video to walk you through the set-up. The speed rheostat, LED readout, and on/off button work great together in quickly finding the correct time setting for annealing different brass cases. It's also considerably quicker than my Annealeez was at loading and dumping the cases. I just annealed my first 150 cases and was very impressed with the machine's operation and the consistency of my annealed brass. It's a solid alternative that works great, especially considering the competitive price.

Works great and for a great price. Some of the pieces are sharp and need to be de burred is the only thing that I can find wrong with it. Easy set up!

High quality. This is not junk. Everything works like it should probably ran two or 3000 rounds of through. It works perfect after getting set up. It is a 10.

Excellent product. It works exactly like it's supposed to.

Very well made and works perfect

I don’t by a lot of things and get pleasantly surprised. That is what happened here though.The packaging this thing came in was amazing. It came with tools, extra parts, an organizer for the spare parts, an extra wheel for smaller brass. A little plush baggie to keep all the extras in, good instructions, and a link to the assembly and use videos on YouTube.It took 15 minutes to set up to run my brass through. A few more minutes to figure out flame distance and speed settings. A little additional feature is that the mounting rod for the torch is metered so you can write down your distances for different size brass.I couldn’t be more happy with this unit. It runs great, is quiet, and is incredibly adjustable (yet super user friendly). I’ll be recommending this to all the guys at the sportsman’s club.Also, there is nothing “ugly” about this unit. It’s industrial looking in a very pleasing way. It’s also pretty small and has a carry handle. Super easy to pack up if you need to save bench space.

The media could not be loaded. Very nice machine! Easy set up and works perfectly.

This works. Get the temperature just right (work in a DARK room to judge the "glow" accurately) and it will do the job.Impressive, secure packaging, clever no-nonsense design, affordable cost.And watching the thing work is just plain hypnotic.
