Im no good at finding forums on this topic, just not a technical fella. I have been reloading for some time now, but with my own hand made tumbler. Could someone direct me to a quality tumbler that is bottom-end priced?
 
I have a F.A. that's worked for a number of years. Had its predecessor for lots of years. Springs come loose pretty quickly, but it'll still work, as long as the springs are in place. The right adhesive might hold the springs better than whatever Midway uses.

I recently bought the large Dillon tumbler and it's the Rolls Royce of tumblers. Love it. Not cheap, but great piece of equipment.

Berry's at the price point is one of the best. Its mostly made right here in the U.S.A using American labor, the motor IS made in china as no one here makes one suitable, so they have no option.

Buy it from Cabela's and you also get the lifetime satisfaction warranty.:)
 
Thumler's model B.
You can't go wrong with a Thumbler. I have both wet and a vibratory. Bought these after my RCBS Sidewinder wore out, rebuilt, and wore out again.

I am much to poor to be cheep.


140 Model B Rock Tumbler


Thumbler's Tumbler

I use the vibrator on rifle brass that I don't want to beat the case mouths up on. Otherwise, it all goes into the big washer. It will clean 5 lbs of brass at a time.
 
For wet tumble I use the dual drum Harbor Freight tumbler. Each drum holds 1 pound of brass, 1 pound of SS pins, water to cover it all set the digital outlet timer for 2 hours. I've used it for rocks and brass for over a year and no issues. Can't beat it for $40.
