Which small caliber primer tool should I purchase?

I use Lyman's. Comes with both large and small primer trays and rams. Owner supplies shell holder. Easy to set up and change out. Used it on Fed 210s, CCI #34s and CCI 450s (srp). Takes me less 'squeeze' force than other hand held priming tools I have used, like RCBS's. I still and often times prime, one at a time, with my presses.
 
After 40+ years of being away from reloading I'm back into reloading with my grandson. And I didn't do much of it back then either. So I'm now the new kid. The resurgence is for a prairie dog trip I promised him.

I purchased an RCBS universal primer tool and found it to be disappointing in that the shell would frequently pop out of the shell holder and the primer would go flying. I'm going to return this tool. With that said, what tool would you recommend me to purchase? We'll be reloading for .204, .223 and probably .243. I'm on a budget too.

Thanks for your time.
Regards
Try the Frankford arsenal hand priming tool it’s a great tool all metal very strong and comes with all the shell holders
