Is that the hand held priming tool? If I could not find the one I needed, but could find the proper size shell holder for a press, I would get the one for the press and remove the part that does not fit in the priming tool. There are full sets of those also and thirty dollars would buy the whole set when I found mine.
If it is the original style priming tool, the shell holder is threaded and screws into the holder. These were the best shell holders Lee ever made. No plastic parts. Newer ones are junk. You might try getting a RCBS hand priming tool. They use the same shell holder as your press.
I like the RCBS Universal Priming tool. It has a system that doesn't require shell holders. It's more money that their other, but never having to hunt for or change shell holders is a big plus IMO.
I've primed thousands of cases on those old Lee tools. Actually wore one out to the point where it wouldn't sear primers deep enough anymore due to wear. I still use one at times.
