Frankford Arsenal Quick-N-EZ Case TumblerAny tumbler will work
Lee Auto Prime Hand Priming ToolSome prefer the hand primer. Lee offers a ram prime as part of the Hand Press Kit that uses the press to seat the primer. It's a toss up. Hand primer would probably be quicker.

For dies I dont want to hassle with lube, so I want carbide even if they are a bit more expensive up front. I'm not sure what the difference is here and if I need both or just one.
Lee Carbide Sizer Die 9mm LugerGet the 3 die set.
Lee Carbide Factory Crimp Die 9mm LugerNot needed but some people like it. Try it without first, then buy later if needed/wanted.

Then there are a bunch of small tools that I figure I'll probably want eventually even if not immediately required
Lee Case Length Gage and Shellholder 9mm LugerWASTE OF MONEY
Lee Universal Depriming and Decapping DieWASTE OF MONEY
Lee Chamfer ToolWASTE OF MONEY
Lee Primer Pocket CleanerWASTE OF MONEY
Lee Case Trimmer Cutter and Lock StudWASTE OF MONEY

This also looks like it would be helpful eventually just to speed things up
Lee Zip TrimWASTE OF MONEY

Then of course, I need some manual
