Hornady Lock-N-Load 4-Blade OD Deburring Tool 050173 Silver Steel

The Hornady 050173 Lock-N-Load 4-Blade Outside Diameter Deburring Tool eliminates sharp edges and burrs from brass case mouths with precision cuts. This specialized reloading tool features four hardened steel blades that create smooth, consistent chamfers on case necks for improved bullet seating and enhanced accuracy.

What Makes This Different

Unlike single-blade deburring tools that require multiple passes, this four-blade design removes material uniformly in one rotation. The hardened steel construction maintains sharp cutting edges through thousands of cases, while the ergonomic handle provides positive grip control. Standard deburring tools often create uneven chamfers that affect bullet concentricity, but this precision-engineered tool delivers consistent results across all brass types.

Key Features

• Four hardened steel blades for uniform material removal in single rotation
• Compatible with all standard rifle and pistol brass from .22 to .50 caliber
• Silver steel construction resists wear and maintains cutting edge geometry
• Ergonomic handle design prevents hand fatigue during extended use
• Precise blade angle creates optimal 45-degree chamfer for bullet seating
• Compact 6-inch overall length fits standard reloading bench setups
• Lock-N-Load system compatibility for quick tool changes

This deburring tool performs consistently across various brass hardness levels, from soft pistol cases to work-hardened rifle brass. Competition shooters rely on uniform case preparation for maximum accuracy potential, while high-volume reloaders appreciate the tool's efficiency in processing large batches. The four-blade configuration reduces the number of rotations needed per case, cutting preparation time significantly compared to traditional single-blade tools.
