I have taken a break from loading since I moved. My basement is now finished and am planning a workbench out but don’t want to make a mess with dirty cases down there.
I’d like to decap all my brass outside on my back porch and wet tumble it before bringing it inside. It doesn’t seem like there are many great portable options for this and maybe an arbor press mounted to a piece of wood could work? Also one of the handheld units?
 
I use this one for most of my de-priming. I used to use it for everything, but the last few years I've started switching to Alpha brass for any new barrels and Alpha's primer pockets are butthole tight and the hand primer gets old really fast. If your brass doesn't have crazy tight pockets the Harvey tool works well and can be done outside, watching TV, etc.
