I have Lee equipment that has been working as intended since the 1960's.
A lot depends on how one takes care of their possessions.
And one guy I work with has had good luck with a set of cheap chinese micrometers. Not a common thing. Never said there was anything wrong with Lee stuff, just not exactly the mostest solid of choices. Been looking at used reloading stuff a long time and used Lee stuff is normally the most worn out of all.
I never abuse tools. Even baby them. I regularly had to tighten up my old Challenger press as it worked loose. I no longer fuss over my presses as neither of them have the cheap factor designed into them.
My latest set of chinese calipers lasted exactly one measurement. The other set is still going strong along with the Staretts and Mitiyoyos.
