Yes, it's Red in colour.
I had a specific reason for needing the Hornady, I use RCBS Summit and Lee APP presses where the die moves to the case and there is no ram to move the case up. Most pullers won't work with these presses because you need to turn the top to engage the collet. With the Hornady, it is a red lever, that works with any press. As I said earlier, it is a Godsend when I need it
So what do you do With the remaining rounds when running a ladder test and you start to see signs of over pressure?
Personally I use an RCBS collet puller die to keep things safe rather than take any risk of an over pressure round going though my rifle.
Absolutely right, it's in my box of occasionally used items, along with the stuck case remover, Lee Enfield bolt disassembly tool, OAL measurement tool et al. Don't need them often but when I do, I really do!

Pliers?
That’s quality maybe I should take a leaf out of your book and get the mole grips on them next time
this whole reloading thing gets way too serious if your not carefully…

A bullet is like, 25p. A bullet puller + collet is like, 60 quid. You must be SERIOUSLY over estimating your load data if you need to pull that many bullets.That’s quality maybe I should take a leaf out of your book and get the mole grips on them next time
I cant imagine using the kiddie hammer thingy on a gift of 1K water damaged rounds.
Bash them out with a hammer. But there again I don't work up until the pips squeak and "pressure signs" are your only indication,, for whatever that's worth.
There are clearly others here for whom the necessity of pulling bullets seems to be routine. Various means are available.
It's so easy to pull a bullet and mash it up it in the process, which actually is not such a bad idea. Infrequently.
FWIW don't think that any bullet is going to be quite as good as it was out of the box, before being seated, extracted and re-used. Needs must I suppose. I am content with my hammer for those rare occasions.. But those are just my thoughts so pay no attention.
There again something like this night do the job perfectly well. I's not rocket science. Neither is it coloured red nor green.
GRIP-N-PULL - The Best Bullet Puller in the World
You could of course have a go at making something similar yourself,, say from some wire strippers, a drill, and maybe a bit of dremelling to smooth it up.
You obviously struggle to understand the degree of finesse, that can be applied with the use of a collet puller, And some people prefer finesse over well, how can I describe it, brute force.

Reloading... it's great to get everything just right. But occasionally things can go wrong, or you need to dis-assemble a round or two.
Having the right tools for the appropriate job when they do go wrong is key to preserving components.
I used a hammer years ago, when I didn't know any better. They are relatively cheap & cheerful... for me, the correct tool is a bullet puller!
I found the Hornady Cam-Lock bullet puller... couldn't be sweeter to use. Easy & not a mark on the bullets when used correctly.
I'm sure other manufacturer's products work well too... though I have no experience of them.
