The Ultimate Sorter Model 4 - Package

I have spent the past few years annoying my neighbors, my wife and the dog by shaking three plastic trays on my back patio to sort brass I bring home from the range. You have to contend with the weather, bugs and the stares of those annoyed neighbors. Fortunately, I read about the Ultimate Sorter in an online forum and completed my research on their website. Granted, it's an investment, but it's more of an investment in your own enjoyment and saving your time. I load seven calibers for handguns so the 4 Pack was a generous pricing bargain offered by the seller. Set up was easy- the Ultimate Sorter essentially comes completely assembled, you just move several pieces into position and you're done. Hearing protection is a good idea and is suggested by the manufacturer. I do this in the basement and my wife agreed it was loud, but she got used to it very quickly and hardly noticed it once her TV show came on. The wife and the dog were happy. As far as sorting, it flat out works. The vibratory motor is perfect, all metal and other fabricated pieces are perfect. Everything fits, there is no jimmying. You follow the brief instructions (well written, in English, no confusion) and you make it through, every step of the way. One thing I love about the firearm and loading community is observing the creations of back yard engineers, whether they be real engineers or not. The Ultimate Sorter is a back yard engineered thing of beauty and perfection, all the way down to the hooks that are intended to hold a trash bag to catch range debris and pesky 22 rimfire cartridges-- the seller even goes so far as to throw in your first trash bag so you are not left hanging or guessing at any step of the way in the set up process. The Ultimate Sorter only requires one tool and it's included as well. Sorting used to be a labor of love, while loading is the priceless "therapy". With the Ultimate Sorter, you can now bookend the hobby with therapy sessions because sorting brass is no longer a PIA. Don't hesitate to add this to your loading room and regimen.
