Frankford Arsenal Rotary Tumbler and Accessories with Media Separator, Cleaning Essentials, for Brass Cleaning, Reloading, and Gunsmithing

So far so good! It does a great job at cleaning brass. It doesn't leak and I bought some strainer screens to go with it and a magnet and some steel pins for media. I have been using dish soap and a little bit of citric acid then rinsing well. It is kind of noisey but doesn't bother me. The cases I am showing in the photos were only in there about 25 minutes. It can easily hold a few hundred cases. I think it's a good value compared to the other ones I saw. I am glad I bought this one instead of the one that uses dry media cause I don't have to keep buying the media. And there is no dust. It is strong and good plastic. Nice and thick.

Will never go back to dry tumbling brass again. Cleaning with this and the stainless steel pins will even get aged range brass looking brand new. Removing primers prior to cleaning will also polish the primer pockets, if steel pins used. Read many of the older reviews. Have a lot of use on this and zero leaks from the lid. As you would expect, it’s not quiet when it’s doing its thing.

Frankford Arsenal Platinum Series Rotary Tumbler: This tumbler works wonderfully, I used it upon receipt. I had brass from years ago that I had cleaned using a ultrasonic cleaner I ran through with Dawn Ultra a couple of tablespoons, and one quarter teaspoon of Lemishine. I ran the brass for 1.5 hours. WOW! It came out looking like brand new! There is no substitute for being able to see and inspect brass for imperfections and damage. The media is a bit messy but worth the trouble. I also purchased the FA magnet to help with cleanup of those works ok but needs a stronger magnet. I had no issue with the media getting stuck in the cases because it is 45 acp (straight walled cases). I do not shoot any high powered rifles or handguns that use this kind of ammo, so I cannot speak for those. Over all I am extremely please with the way it works and would certainly buy it again. Now, for the not so good issues. The shipper "AMAZON" should have more sense than to ship a product in the Manufacturers Box! When I received the box from the USPS It had been opened, retaped, the box had tears in it as well. The packet of FA cleaning solution was empty and absorbed by the cardboard packing in the box. Fortunately, there was no damage to the mechanical part of the machine. The packet of solution had been attempted to be taped shut. lol! Nope! It didn't work! There were two pieces missing from inside the box and that was the strainer for emptying the drum. I talked to a rep at FA and he was more than glad to send me out the missing parts. Thank You to him! Over all the function and quality is there, we will see about durability, but I believe it will last me many many years. I will not go into my disappointment in amazon, especially since I have had a Prime account and put up with them not getting me my purchases when they say they are to be here. As in not being here in their predicted time. Like next day if you order within the time noted on the page for the item. I may just cancel my prime account because it is No different that if I was not a prime member. Buy this tumbler and watch and listen to videos and articles on how to get it to work best, especially the part about using some silicone spray or lube on the gaskets for the drums. Not a losing prospect if you like clean brass!

UPDATED: I purchased Nutricost Citric Acid 1000mg (1 gram), 120 Capsules and added on capsule which appears to be about the recommended amount for one tumble session. As you can see, it's nearly new looking. In addition, the primer pockets were cleaned extremely well. Dang! First batch with no Lemi Shine just warm water & detergent. After an hour, the water was dark black & my brass is spotless. My 5.56 brass was completely fouled with burnt on powder, and now it's looks new less that little extra bright shine that should come with using a citrus-based Lemi shine or equivalent. It's definitely loud though, but an excellent value for the money. The rubber seal is very thick & durable, so I don't think it will leak over time. I cleaned a mix of 9M, 6.5CM, 300 BO, 5.56 & 6.5 PRC. I'll probably keep using my sonic cleaner post primer removal & full-length sizing to remove the lubricant.

Great and so far sturdy product

Sehr gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis. Ich habe das Gerät bei mehreren Anbietern verglichen. Amazon war der günstigste Anbieter. Das Gerät nutze ich als Ergänzung zu meinem FA nass Tumbler. Ich nutze im Tumbler die Polier-Pins. Zunächst gieße ich nach dem Reinigen den Inhalt aus dem Tumbler in das Lyman Hülsensieb. Eine Nacht im Heizraum trocknen lassen. Am nächsten Tag dann umfüllen in den Separator. Beim Schleudern lassen sich restliche Pins (und es sind tatsächlich noch viele) herausfiltern. Die Trommel eignet sich auch gut um die Hülsen weiter zu trocknen.

Would give this less if possible, took forever to ship and then the tumbler burnt out on first use. Luckily I hadn’t walked away else it would have caught on fire.

... attention, l'appareil est en 110 v et la prise nécessite un adaptateur, ou un transfo 220 110 déjà équipé (500 va largement suffisant) La difficulté survient lorsqu'on doit séparer les étuis des aiguilles inox ... utiliser un aimant ! et beaucoup de patience ! je n'ai pas acheté le "panier"
