Review: Simple, Affordable, and Effective - The Frankford Arsenal VibraPrime is an inexpensive and very simple tool for filling primer tubes. It might require a little flash trimming to get all the parts to fit properly - in particular, the part of the primer tray that goes into the handle may need smoothing. Otherwise everything seems to fit well. The motorized part is the grip, and it has a pretty generic pistol grip shape that’s easy to hold and control. The grip doesn’t weigh very much - you can tell the difference when you install the battery. The motor itself simply spins an eccentric weight, which causes the whole thing to vibrate. This is what causes the primers to flow to the tube. It’s not really loud, so you can hear the primers slide into the tube. This is my second purchase of this tool. The first one was I don’t know how many years old, and I simply dropped it once too often… But I bought a new one because I really like this device. Review: Sorry, but it turned out to be totally useless - Sounds like a good deal, but notice how many of the other reviewers are offering workarounds or "fixes" for it's poor performance. Even that doesn't make it work reliably. Let me explain. When I first bought it, it worked fairly well for CCI primers, which are plated and pretty slippery. Every tray of primers, though, at least one would jam in the hole that feeds the tube, and you have to stop the whole process and unjam the primer before you can continue. Sometimes you can't get it loose and have to remove the tube and push it out from the bottom (the Dillon primer tube follower stick works well for this), then replace the tube before you can continue. Not too bad, I thought. When I switched to Win or Rem primers, everything went south. The jams became frequent, and I never could finish a single tray without at least several jams. I began to notice another problem, that it vibrates so hard that it flips primers upside down AND still feeds them, meaning that there's at least one bad round per tube of primers (upside down primer). If you notice the upside down primer going down the tube (they move pretty fast) you have to empty the entire tube and start again. I've tried everything the previous reviewers suggested, and a few additional things. Nothing fixes it. And we shouldn't have to be "fixing" somebody else's product, for which we paid good money. I bought it because I thought it would easily outrun the standard pickup tube routine, but I did a test run today and found that the pickup tubes take about 1.7 minutes per tray and the Frankford takes up to 5 minutes because of all the fooling around. I did want to believe, but actual experience with it makes me believe that I wasted the money and the time. I can't recommend it. I'm happy to go back to pickup tubes, which are easy and reliable. ## Features - ACCURACY: Features circular auto-indexing ridges to quickly index primers for insertion into the tube - EASE OF USE: Insert the adapter over the primer tube and remove the drop pin to allow the primers to fall into the primer tube. Runs on 2 AA batteries (not included) - VERSATILITY: Motorized agitation mechanism allows for loading 100 primers into a primer tube in a matter of seconds and it works with large and small primers - INNOVATIVE: Flexible adapter aligns the dispenser tube with the primer tube on your progressive press for quick and painless alignment of the tubes and removal of the drop pin - INCLUDES: Vibra-Prime, primer tray, small primer tube, large primer tube and 2 universal tube adapters ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BQ6A3Y0 | | Best Sellers Rank | #88,763 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #441 in Gunsmithing Tools | | Brand Name | Frankford Arsenal | | Color | Blue | | Customer Reviews | 3.7 3.7 out of 5 stars (546) | | Finish Types | Brushed | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00661120855712 | | Included Components | Vibra Prime Universal Automatic Large and Small Primer Tube Filler | | Item Type Name | Vibra Prime Universal Automatic Large and Small Primer Tube Filler | | Item Weight | 12.8 ounces | | Manufacturer | Battenfeld Technologies | | Manufacturer Part Number | 557128 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 1-year manufacturer. | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | 855712 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Pattern | Solid | | Product Care Instructions | Replace batteries when needed | | Recommended Uses For Product | Reloading ammunition with progressive presses | | Shape | Rectangular | | Special Feature | Motorized Agitation Mechanism for Quick Primer Tube Filling | | Style Name | Vibra Prime | | Tray Type | primer tray | | UPC | 661120855712 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Frankford Arsenal - **Color:** Blue - **Item Weight:** 12.8 ounces - **Material:** Plastic - **Style:** Vibra Prime ## Images ![Frankford ArsenalFrankford Arsenal, Platinum Series Precision Scale with Case - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717zLVP4GzL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the vibra prime faster than picking up the primers manually with the pick up tube? how much time does it save ? c blair needs not answer. tks** A: Are you kidding :))) I can do a 100 primers in 15 seconds or faster. But sometimes they get stuck. I found out that if you pull on plastic case that the primers are in that it aligns the hole better and they drop fast. You have to pull and tug on the case that primers are in. But once you find that sweat spot. Boy it's a life saver **Q: will the primer tubes fit the RCBS automatic priming tool?** A: Yes But this frankford is too fragile after use a few the primers do not fall in the tube correctly i throw away and i sell the dillon auto primers **Q: Is it possible to use this load extra pick-up tubes (so loading the primers upside-down than originally designed) or is that just a waste of time?** A: Look the one who gave a bad review must not know the sweat spot to get it to work perfectly. It's $27 not a $300 one. I was getting very frustrated with it until I found out that by pulling on the plastic TRAY it aligns the fees hole better. You have to just tug or push the tray to get them to drop like a machine gun :)). Now I wouldn't give this away or sell it. For $27 it's a deal **Q: Will this work for the hornady lnl classic single stage small primer tubes?** A: Yes because the tube of the frankford can be connect with your tube by a piece of plastic tube ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple, Affordable, and Effective *by G***R on July 20, 2025* The Frankford Arsenal VibraPrime is an inexpensive and very simple tool for filling primer tubes.

But not without it's frustrations. You may or may not need to extremely lightly touch a couple spots with a chamfer tool to get it to behave. On mine, the included tubes and their plastic locking interface are the weak links by far. What I found is it is much faster and has far fewer stoppages is just taking a Dillon pickup tube, removing the yellow tip, then holding that firmly in place by hand where the vibraprime tube would go. A little awkward holding the VP in one hand, holding the pickup tube with the other, but it works much better that way. And I've use 3 different VP tubes - they all had issues causing stoppages. Otherwise it's a nice timesaver and I can generally fill about 4 tubes with 100 primers each in same amount of time as pecking with 1 pickup tube on a flip tray. Set your expectations accordingly - there is a very good chance it will not "just work" out of the box. You will have to do some minor tinkering to make it run well. But once you do, it is a nice tool. I've read a wiser reload describe how to hold it to make it feed well is like a fishing with a bobber. That same gentle forward/back tilting while filling the tube helps keep things moving. ## Frequently Bought Together - Frankford Arsenal Vibra Prime Universal Automatic Large and Small Primer Tube Filler for Reloading blue - McJ Tools Reloading Primer Feeder Tube Small 6pack - Dillon Locator Pin Tabs - 12 Pack, Dillon Blue --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2448951-frankford-arsenalfrankford-arsenal-platinum-series-precision-scale-with-case](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2448951-frankford-arsenalfrankford-arsenal-platinum-series-precision-scale-with-case) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-20*
