how important is it for a press to have a tab bender...?

While you are spending money go ahead and spend a little extra. The tab bender is the ticket!!! Plus it helps to keep one more of countless elements that go into making a call consistent.

Never seen or used one,...so I know they are not all that important,...but like others have said, if you want to spend the money on one, go for it.

I have a Feather Ridge Press that I have used for 6 years that does not have a tab bender. It never bothered me not having one.

You dont need it....but dont ever use one..cause you will instantly want it.

Not necessary but it's sure nice to have.
