Frankford Arsenal Master Tumbler Kit

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

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.

Gift for the husband he loves it.

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 %

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

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
