What's the Best Universal De-primer?

I just ordered one from Cabelas.
I live in Canada and ordering from the US takes 6 weeks minimum.
I'm lucky to find the FA locally.
Thanks everyone for your timely responses.
 
Switched over to the mighty armor decamping die, I’d never go back, love this thing. It’s a superior design Compared to the standard decappers made by the usual suspects, Redding, RCBS, Hornady etc etc.

 
Mighty armory and FW arms make the best decapping dies. They don't even care if they are berdan primed or have a stone in them...they will punch through!
 
The key to a de-prime die is alignment. I just make one out of aluminum for each caliber. Just taper bore it to match the case body and deep enough to allow some clearance. Use a de-capping stem from a die set.

I use mine in a RCBS Summit with the short handle. I use some heavy rubber bands to hold the moving part up high enough so the de-prime die clears a case. Then I just need to pull the lever down to de-prime and let the handle go. That way I have blth hands free to remove a case and insert a new one. When I am not using the Summit I just unbolt it and slide it to the back of the bench.
 
Holy Crap !! I cant even believe this is a topic. Push the spent primer out with whatever it takes and start prepping your brass for the next firing. It's that simple !!
 
For me a hand held with a little cup wouldn't cut it. I run weekly loads from two shooters thru my Big Boss II with the Lee decap die.

I've actually put a 1.5" drinking straw in the bottom of the shell holder to force all the primers into the bucket below. No more primers spitting out the primer arm slot!
