Thumler's Tumbler Model B High Speed

Product Review (submitted on March 18, 2013):

I was using a "traditional" vibratory tumbler and thought the used brass I was cleaning was coming out just fine. Read about the stainless steel media/tumbler and thought it was just a marketing gimmick to sell a different "toy" to reloaders. How wrong I was! I got mine this past week and have been re-tumbling brass that I had already "cleaned", or so I thought. The results were quite amazing. The re-done brass came out so clean it looked new, even the primer pockets. I did not run each batch the full recommended time, just an hour or so and the results were THAT good. The only downside I find so far is emptying the brass from the drum and not losing any of the pins, and I have to accept the drying time for the brass once it is done tumbling, so planning your work out is essential. Once I figure out a system to do this painlessly, all will be more than fine. What a great product! If you re-use your brass, or purchase large lots of used brass, this is the machine for you. Don't think it would be cost effective if you only reload a couple of hundred rounds a few times a year, but otherwise, if you reload every week or so, this machine will pay for itself in no time at all. Heavy duty, well put together, clear instructions, great service, what more could you want?????
