You could get the kit I bought, that I linked above. You can convert it to single stage by simply removing the rod that automatically turns the top turret aluminum disk. The kit doesn't come with the dies for 38/357. You buy that separately for around $40. If you were to have plane old single stage then you have to install each separate die, line it up / position it properly, then run all your brass through that stage of the loading. Then remove that die and install the next one, line it up, run the brass through, etc.. for all 3 or 4 stages of the complete reload. With the turret press you put in your dies and line them up.. then you won't have to line them up again. If you want to go back and redo one of the stages you don't have to pull dies out and put new ones in. You just spin the aluminum turret disk by hand to position the die you want to use above the ram.
Reinstall the turret rod and for each pull of the lever the rod automatically rotates the turret disk to line up the next die for the next stage of the operation.
Except for the dies, the kit comes with everything you need - tool wise, except for a set of calipers you need to measure the cartridge length.

Top of my head, you need:
The press
Powder scale
Primer installer
Powder thrower/measurer (red hopper thingy on top)
The dies for the caliber you want to reload.
Then there's other stuff like:
Brass case trimmer
Brass media tumbler - for cleaning the brass (to prevent damaging your carbide crimping die)
