A primer pocket swage will remove a crimp and not completely ruin the brass by removing the primer pocket.
I've had the opposite experience. The super swager would ruin my pockets, where the hornady cutting tool was self limiting. I hand prime brass and sideline loose pockets to be shot in a batch where I'm willing to deal with a popped primer.
