drill powered trimmer

I am looking to buy a drill powered trimmer , not the giraud tri way or the little crow gunworks, to speed up trimming cases. I have the old RCBS Pro hand trimmer and takes longer. Which drill powered trimmer have you folks been happy with?
 
I took off the screw and handle on my old RCBS trimmer and fitted it with a small drill over the shaft. It's a breeze, 45 cases trimmed and deburred in 15 mins. Imagine all the time I wasted the last 20 years doing it by hand, lol.

I am a Wilson fan but what works well are Lee holders and trimmers, they fit in drill and works fast. I also have a lot of Wilson case holders and have had my machinist make me some positive stop trimmers that fit in drill and that works well for me. But for the most part I just use the Wilson hand crank.

If I've got more than just a few to do with a cordless drill I take Lee holders and trimmers and Sinclair FH tool to the vice where I clamp a small power drill and run it at low speed and do flash hole chamfer, trim and deburr @ ~20 sec/case.

I did the same, found an Allen head screw that fits the end of the cutter shaft where the knob would go, I used a jam nut to keep in place. Just put the screw head to not the drill chuck
Works great!
