Quick-N-EZ 110V Case Tumbler Kit with Sifter for Brass Cartridge Cleaning and Polishing for Reloading,Blue and Grey

This thing is pretty quiet, i was worried it would rattle or shake up the floor/carpet but its actually not that bad. Depending how much brass you put it in it, it'll just rattle for a few seconds as the brass circulates in the bowl but other than that its quiet, its a low hum, nothing alarming or annoying. You can make a soundproof box if you wanted to leave it running in a living room or so depending on your space. I also have it plugged into a timer so i just set the timer on the electrical outlet and it shuts off after like 45mins to an hour depending what i set it at. Please read the instructions. It comes with brass polish cream - Don't add your brass right away you need to prep the cleaning media. - first i filled the bowl with the agitation material/media maybe about 3/4ths the way up. - turn it on without the lid - as its vibrating add in the brass polish cream 4-5oz or so, on the bottle it says 3-4 oz for new media or 1-2 for used media - instructions say to let it run for 5 or so mins so the cleaning media is evenly coated with brass polish, i just used my hand to crush up any clumps. - After the 5 mins and no clumps - turn it off - ADD in your brass - lid, washer, wing nut, hand tight! don't crank it down just tight enough so the lid doesn't vibrate off. its a hard durable plastic but it can still break, don't crank it too tight - my brass is usually pretty clean out the rifle so i run mine for about 45mins to an hour and you'll see the results in the pictures. - the picture of the brass in the bowl is before and all the casings and such on the floor and in the containers are cleaned. - It does a VERY good job on the outside and a "good" job in the casings and flash holes. - if you want it really squeaky clean get the rotating tumbler with the metal pins and water/soap. - but its reloads I use a rotating brush to clean the inner casing and primer pockets. - tumble sifter and bucket is nice helps separate and recycle everything, id probably use the media a dozen or two times then swap it out for new cleaning media but it all comes down to how much brass youre cleaning and how dirty it is etc. Just eye ball it and change it as you would seem fit **your results may vary** - for 6.8 SPC I'm able to put about 100-150 casings in so there's enough room for everything to rotate evenly and not clank together in the media - for .45 I'm able to do 200-250 casings - for .556/.223 probably about 200 casings - for .30-06 50 about 100 casings - for .30 carbine 150 casings - 762x54R 50 casings I don't like to overfill or make it too cramped in the bowl. Overall the full kit gave me everything i needed to start off with and in the future would give me an idea what maintenance items to get or try what other people may have done to get better results by changing to a corn cleaning media or some other plant based media, different polishing cremes, and longer cleaning times. I run it almost 4-5 hours a day depending on how much brass i have to clean and then it just sits till the next time. no issues so far. happy with everything and i just set it and forget it.

I know the price may be a warn-off for some people, how can something so reasonably priced be worthwhile, right? Well I'll be among the first to say this kit is the real deal. I wasn't expecting much for the price I was paying, but I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. The tumbler works very well, I have tumbled both empty cases and loaded rounds. Both came out like you would expect them to. I like the clear lid so I can check the brass while it's working. I'm still using the corncob media that came with the kit, once I wear it out I'll switch to walnut lizard bedding that you can buy at most pet stores far cheaper than buying "walnut polishing media". The media is holding up really well, but I clean my brass in an ultrasonic cleaner first. Takes the time I need to tumble down to an hour or two. I love the separator, it's great at getting the media out of the cases and hollow point bullets. The bucket catches the media and makes the whole operation quick and clean. UPDATE: Everyone speaks to how quiet this machine is. As I have no experience with any other tumbler I'll have to take their word for it. I have found a way to further dampen the sound of it, I took a length of 1/2" clear vinyl tubing and placed it over the threaded metal rod that comes up through the middle of the tumbler tub. I used 1/2" because there is a square nut at the bottom of the rod. I heated the tube so it was pliable and forced it over the nut and let it cool while holding it in place. Now when I use the tumbler it is quieter because the brass doesn't vibrate against the rod.

Good with corn cob media.

As others have already said, the tumbler is the key to this setup. Assembly is a breeze and it works great. Sitting five feet away, the noise is completely tolerable. After a short while, the buzz/hum becomes nearly soothing. :) Brass comes out clean and fairly shiny with just the provided corn husk media. For a deep clean or super shine, there are many other tumbler media and additives that will work with the Frankford kit. Again, I agree with other posters that the separator is the weakest link. The bucket is fine and I'm sure it will last as long as any other bucket. I haven't experienced the weakness issues that others have written about, but then I only clean a couple hundred brass at a time. My problem is the way the brackets slide around the bucket when using the separator. I realize I can rivet or screw them on but I expected it to be a better fit out of the box. The separator also has a tendency to bounce the media around quite a bit; first when pouring in and then again when spinning. Even with the splash guards I end up with a small mess. I wish I had just bought the tumbler and assembled my own "kit" but overall a good purchase for those who want an all-in-one.

Easy to set up; great clear illustrated instructions very easy to use. Doesn’t weigh nothing, but is durable if that makes any sense, more than sturdy for the job. I put it on and went out and accidentally forgot about it come home a few hours later it was still humming away so that was a great test. Impressed for the price and swift postage and delivery. 10 out of 10 from me. I would happily recommend.

This Frankford Arsenal Master Tumbler Kit is an excellent entry level tumbler and media separator kit for a beginner reloader. We are just starting to reload and wanted to start off with a reasonable setup that would get us going, but not break the bank. Here are my observations: Kit Contents - * Tumbler * Media Separator * 3Lbs of Corn Media * Polishing Fluid * 3-gallon Bucket w/Lid Tumbler Pros - + Easy to Assemble; took under 5-minutes to put together + East to Use; just add the corn media (included) and polishing fluid (included), add the dirty shells, put on the lid, and run for 30 minutes to an hour (see video) + Works Well; very pleased with the how clean the shells get + Not Too Loud; doesn't make anywhere near the noise I expected it to Tumbler Cons- - Center Post; this can vibrate loose after a few uses, but easily corrected by tightening it before each use Separator Pros - + Easy to Assemble; took under 5-minutes to put together + Easy to Use; just dump in the corn media and shells directly from the tumbler, attach the shields (optional), and give it a few turns (see video) + Works Well; does a good job at removing the cleaning media from the shells Separator Cons - - Plastic Construction; care should be taken not to stress the parts Overall, I am very happy with this kit and believe it is a fairly good value for the novice reloader. Highly Recommended! CFH

My old Cabela’s model 400 finally gave up the ghost after 15 years and I needed to clean a bunch of brass. Took a chance on this unit and am very pleased I did. It is significantly quieter than my old Cabela’s unit although slightly smaller. I no longer need to run it outside the house due to noise. Hopefully I will get 15 years of service out of this one too.

Awesome kit, even better with walnut media. I waited before I left a review on this so I could give an honest feedback. For the money this is your best buy and I intend to purchase a second tumbler. This thing really moves the material if it is dry, when you add mineral spirits or polish then it swirls more that cyclones. So watch out over doing the additives, but that is true on any tumbler. I have done thousands of brass and nickel cases in the last year with this and if I had to put a number on it I would say close to 10,000 cases. Some of the sight unseen brass I purchased was horrid so I had to tumble aggressively with walnut #8 then #4 then final with lizard bedding to get a like new look. I always run dry media except for lizard bedding final polish and this tumbler cyclones the media as good if not better that anything in the $100 range. Now this is where you need to pay attention, after thousands and thousands of cases my tumbler did stop working. well not stop but it would not move the media well, I took bottom panel off and the motor was filthy with media and gunpowder dust, I cleaned all I could reach and then put a couple drops of Hoppes oil on the shaft below the counter weight and my tumbler went back to working and quiet as new. So with that if you going to use this a lot figure on cleaning and apply a drop or two of oil once in a while as occasional maintenance.

Ole Timer retiring home built coffee can tumbler after 35 + years, wife says the old furnace motor is running HOT and may catch fire in my gun room in the basement. Yep she's right .served me well from pistol to 375 rifle. My NEW vibrator KIT is really Great and on SALE. If you know reloading like I do you know CORN lubed is good for pistol 4-5 times fired. But rifle needs Walnut and treated in order to polish with what ever you decide works for you. Brasso/Nu Shine or some other more expensive stuff. Like what came with it. My local auto store supplies my blasting cabinet needs for automotive and has Crushed Walnut 18-40 . Just got a 25lb box on sale for under $20 Cn and it will last me another 35 years or someone else that cleans up my left overs. Best deal on the kit and crushed walnut. I don't care what others say this kit Is Great

Looks strong but ships with US spec - wrong plug and wrong voltage for UK. 120v/60hz. So needs a substantial adapter / converter to use. I

Es probable que existan mejores tumbler, pero este tiene todo lo que se necesita para hacer un trabajo personal de muy buena calidad, todo depende de la preparación que se les dé a los casquillos antes de meterlos al tumbler, pero eso no tiene nada que ver con la marca ni el equipo, el tumbler y los accesorios que trae el kit funcionan al 100 %

Gift for the husband he loves it.

Práctico, cómodo y funcional, excelente producti
