Fish,I have had the Lee 20# for about 6 years now.When I first started and really did'nt know anything about it,all I did was melt and clean wheel weights.At least 500 pounds of ingots later it still works like it did when I first got it.All that you really have to make sure of is to keep a regular screw driver right there to turn the adjusting screw if it starts to leak out of the spout.I think it was the best $60 that I have ever spent,lol.
