1. Crimped primer pocket removal tool, I use Lee equipment.

2. Powder trickler.

3. Powder scoop set. I want to scoop a little light then trickle to exact weight. I have set my equipment to be portable and the powder dispenser seems more cumbersome than just scooping powder from a bowl and trickling in the rest.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I've gotten some pretty good deals from Midway.

Midway, Graff & Sons, and Cabellas are my usual stops.

Swager, a good low cost option is RCBS (make sure to get the kit with both lrg and small pocket swager) its sold individually or both. Of course, a reaming tool used with either a drill, hand trimmer, or power trimmer is the cheapest but the Swager is less work. IMHO, Dillon makes about the best Swager but its a tad expensive.

By far, I think the Redding green marble base trickler is the best around. Its weight makes it more stable to work with. The lighter ones tend to take two hands or move around as you crank them.

Scoops, I use my Lee scoops which they sell an entire set for just a few bucks.

Agreed with above comments. Midway just sent out their latest flier and the Redding trickler is on sale right now. The Lee scoops are not expensive either but definitely not for doing bulk loading. If you're going to load more than a handful of cases at any given time I'd recommend a charger or powder thrower or whatever you want to call them. You can usually find someone getting rid of them on craigslist in your area for pretty cheap. You'll appreciate it after a couple of sessions versus those scoops. Those scoops work well if you just want to sit down and load up a (small) magazine full of shells real quick.

I can't speak to the crimped primer pocket removal tool but while you are buying your trickler I would see what they have for that.
