Detailed Description

GAEP 12ga Wad Trimmer Hand Tool

The GAEP Wad Trimmer is precisely machined from aluminum. It produces a precise trim cut to the wad wall. This allows the handloader to adjust lengths on large-capacity 12ga wads.

Designed to trim wads with full-length shotcups (e.g. 12ga 3 1/2" TPS wads, LBC 53mm wads) the trimmer can also be used in any of the GAEP reloading presses or a drill press by removing the black handle grip and inserting the GAEP Universal Arbor (included). Package also includes 2 replacement blades.

Available gauges: 12ga

BACKGROUND AND HISTORY: 

The shotshell industry of Northern Italy is likely the oldest in the world. With the founding of major gun manufacturers, such as Beretta in 1526, cottage industry businesses sprang up around these areas. Gunsmiths, toolmakers, and ammunition specialists of all types helped to fuel innovation and invention. Like Italian cuisine, art, and architecture, ammunition and toolmaking are powered by passion and innovation. We are proud to be GAEP's appointed distributor of their fine loading products for North America. Our line of GAEP products will continue to grow and expand.

GAEP is an artisan manufacturer. Each tool requires painstaking hand-made precision. Our goal is to maintain a regular stock of as many of their products as possible. However, the logistics of their artisan production and the reality of importation from Italy means that we will have stock gaps from time to time. The best way to assure your order fulfillment is to place an order or back order. You order will not be charged until your product ships to you.

Good design, needs modification 8/24/2022
This is a very well engineered unit that was really designed to trim hulls. Wads can be trimmed, but the single wad/hull guide is too long to allow trimming TPS and CSD wads down to a shot cup depth of 1.25”-1.375”as recommended by popular shotgun sites. After getting no suggestions from GAEP inc. American ingenuity kicked in. I had a machinist trim the guide down by 0.125”. Now with an assortment of depth limiting screws on the opposite end, the tool works as needed. GAEP should offer the wad guide in an assortment of lengths to accommodate different wad trim lengths. Very happy now.
