I just finished my first batch. About 1000 .223's and they look like new! I am very happy with this tumbler so far. It has a 1 year warranty same as all the others I looked at. I have plenty of time in the next year to clean all my brass and hopefully it will last many more years. That saved me from months of cleaning brass by hand using a drill, Lee 3 jaw chuck, Scotch brite pads and steel wool.[:)]

Glad you like it.
What did you pay?
I think the Thumblers kit costs more than the 195.00 I paid.
1st. I had a FA bullet puller that I had used 1000's of times and had bought it 2-3 years ago. The plastic finally busted and I called FA about the cost of replacement and told them how much I had used it and for how long. To my surprise they sent me a new one free of charge. I told the man thank you and that was unheard of today, and if I had a choice again of whether to buy their product or another companies product, I would buy FA.
2nd. The FA tumbler holds 30 pounds,the Thumlers 12-15lbs. Believe me, I have filled this FA tumbler on a few occasions and it has worked great!
3rd. The stainless steel media is included with the FA. The Thumlers you must buy the media. 5lbs of the media IIRC is more than $40.
4th. I am not sure which, Midwayusa had a promo code for free shipping or 10% off. I am not sure, I think Thumlers may include free shipping too.
After considering all these things, I bought the FA. I may regret it, but I gave my word to their CS man about buying their products and I try to keep my word. I have now cleaned all my brass and have a lot of reloading and shooting to do before I need to clean the brass again. It was worth the money and I wish I had done this many years ago.I just checked the Midwayusa website and the FA wet tumbler has 54 reviews. 49 are 5 stars. 3 are 4 stars. 2 are 2 stars. Only 2 out of 54 are not happy??? In todays world that is excellent feedback!
Thanks for asking.
