Rebel 17 Tumbler

Product Review (submitted on May 21, 2015):

I have been using a Thumblers tumbler for close to 10 years now, 6-7 years with stainless media. Best way I have ever used to clean any brass. I've used it all, walnut shell, corn cob, ceramic. The stainless steel pins are the very best way to get your brass looking new, every time! I was very surprised when a friend of mine pointed this product out to me last week. I was in the process of buying a second Thumblers model (I clean a lot of brass). I ordered this on Friday and it showed up on my door step by Wednesday. I immediately assembled and ran 150 brass pieces through to break in the steel pins and clean up the media. After 6 hours I flushed and added new cleaning soap and just enough water to cover my brass by 1 inch, I ran it over night and my brass is, as usual, like new brass. I love the very sturdy built base unit and the fact it has adjustable feet is a plus in keeping it level. The base unit is what sold me on this unit alone. That was the only beef I had with the Thumblers unit poor quality base unit. I can't complain about it though as it still runs great after 10 years of very heavy use. I know the Rebel 17 will out last me at 64 yes old, hell the Thumblers may out last me as well. I would recommend this product to anyone serious about cleaning their brass between reloads, only negative I would have is it's not made in the U.S.A. but then nothing much is anymore! Great Tumbler, thanks guys for a product I will put to thorough use!
