Excellent and Durable for Cleaning Cases
By Josh
I bought the tumbler to tumble and clean rifle and pistol brass casings and it works fantastic. If you take a look through Snipershide.com and search for stainless steel media you can find the method to use. Cases turn out shiny and brand new looking like jewelery. It must be seen to believed. Very durable unit and should last many many years.

Great Tumbler
By SavageShooter
I don't use the tumbler for rocks. I do however use it with Stainless Steel media for polishing brass for my hand loads. Couldn't be happier. With the right mixture, this thing will turn brass into gold. One suggestion, lubricate the spinning rods that the drum roll on. If you do...the noise is reduced ten fold and I'm sure I'll get a ton more life out of the product.

Serious Tumbling
By Civil Servant
This is a 15 pound tumbler. This is not for the average Joe. The cost for polishing materials to tumble a full cylinder (3/4th full of specimens) is approximately $40 and up - not including the 5 weeks of runtime per batch. I recommend this to a person in the industry, school sized projects, or somebody who really likes to polish rocks by the bucketfull.The unit itself is quite simple to operate. The instructions are clear and replacement parts are easy to obtain. Again, go with a 6 pound unit for home use and leave these big boys to people who need the capacity. All in all, an excellent device on the large side of the spectrum. I just don't see everyone requiring a unit this large unless you're tumbling fist-sized rocks.
