Anyone using the Harbor Freight tumbler

[MuleyFever]

I picked up the Harbor Freight dual drum tumbler to clean brass. Anyone using it? How much brass and media are you adding to each drum?

I have had one for years without issue. I usually do small batches, less than 50 pieces in walnut media.

I switched to the Frankford Arsenal Tumbler Lite and haven't looked back. It's a great unit.

I use a Harbor Freight Chicago Electric Dual Drum Rotary Rock Tumbler #67632 (https://www.harborfreight.com/dual-drum-rotary-rock-tumbler-67632.html) to tumble with steel pins. In each drum I put 1 pound of pins and 25 cases. I believe there are larger models - I also believe I could put more than 25 in each drum. However, I only load 50 at a time so this tumbler works just fine for me.

This is what I got. The motor seized up the first time I used it just now.

I've been using the HF single drum tumbler for a couple of years now. 1lb of pins. I shoot 7mm-08, 270, 30-06 and 300 WM. So, capacity varies by caliber.

Haha that’s how they get you. When you go to warranty it out it’s guaranteed you will buy some more shit while you wait!
