sg1911 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I am considering buying either a Giraud Tri Way Trimmer or a Little Crow WFT. I am interested in hearing your opinions from those that have or have used these trimmers. Which would you recommend? Is there a better option for about the same price ?

fdbyrne79 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I have the WFT and love it. Most people that reply to this question will recommend the Giraud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhett45acp Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I have the WFT in .223 and .308. Combined with a $40 B&D cordelss drill and it works like a champ. Make sure you watch the videos on how to use. The little 1/4 twist with the wrist is the key. RT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWFAN Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) I had both, but since I chamfer and deburr my cases after trimming, the Giraud saves so much time. Giraud is the only one I have still. Edited August 12, 2015 by DWFAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwall64 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I had both, but since I chamfer and deburr my cases after trimming, the Giraud saves so much time. Giraud is the only one I have still. So, not to hijack the thread, but for a novice can you describe the differences in the two? Just looking at the product and the videos they look to be extremely similar in design (or maybe I am clueless). I myself am in the same boat. I am also wondering if it isn't best just to go all in and get the Dillon 1500 and die... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWFAN Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 The Giraud trims, chamfers the inside of the case neck, and deburs the outside of the case neck all in one step. The WFT only trims. You can see the V shaped cutter on the Giraud website. The WFT is flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwall64 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Found out he is local to me, so I think Giraud it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igolfat8 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I have the WFT and love it. Can't compare it to the other one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BwanaG Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I have the Giraurd TriWay and mounted it to a 1/15 HP dayton motor spinning at 3000 rpm. I used a shaft coupler I found on Zoro.com, then I built a fixture from aluminum plate and wood. Seems to work well, although i haven't processed much brass. The trimmer is sharp and leaves a nice chamfer and bevel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwhpfan Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I make .223 for 3 gun and similar practice. What I makes shoots 1" or less at 100 yards which is good enough for me....so I trust my process... FWIW, I've only used the little crow and it works great. Once I trim I load....no further process.

Hozzie Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I have WFT's in many calibers. I like them and they get the job done for what I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay1 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Is the only place to get the Giraud direct or do other places sell that unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
