It won't include a case gauge, really a complete round gauge. You should own one for every caliber you reload. Example: https://www.amazon.com/Lyman-Reloading-Length-Headspace-Gauge/dp/B001RI7A66/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479962029&sr=8-1&keywords=lyman+223+gauge

Wilson and Dillon also make cartridge gauges. You can use them to confirm your cases are within spec (both shape/shoulder and length) and check loaded rounds. Always gauge at least your first few rounds each session and randomly pick a few as you go.


Note that for the Lee kit to trim brass you need Quick Trim Dies. Example: https://www.amazon.com/Lee-Precision-223-Remington-Quick/dp/B00NEQW1T0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479962154&sr=8-1&keywords=lee+223+trim+die


The first time I got the same kit I screwed up and bought what I thought was the necessary components for trimming. It turns out it was a shell holder and spindle piece for a different type of trimmer.


You should really get a deburr/chamfer tool for brass. The thing that comes with the Lee kit is completely worthless. Lyman makes a good one: https://www.amazon.com/Lyman-Case-Prep-Multi-Tool/dp/B004MCMCYE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479962275&sr=8-1&keywords=lyman+case+prep+tool


Personally I hate balance scales. This is a good electronic replacement. You'll want to use the powder pan that comes with the Lee scale on it or buy another (large!) pan. https://www.amazon.com/Smart-Weigh-GEM20-Precision-Milligram/dp/B00ESHDGOI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1479962410&sr=8-2&keywords=gemini+scale

Important: Note this scale has a large area for you to rest a pan on. There is another version of this that comes with a little pan. The pan is WAY too small for loading anything past 15 grains or so of most powders. The 'contact area' for the scale is also tiny, so to use another pan you have to stack it. The one I linked has a large contact surface you can put a good-sized scale on.
