Default Tumblers

Who makes the best tumbler for the money, is one better for rifle or pistol than the other

I've got a Vibrashine and like it a lot. I bought it online from Sinclair Int'l. I imagine there are other brands that will serve you just as well, though.

I have a Lyman tumbler that i got at a steal from a friend who was getting out of reloading and it has served me well. If it ever quits on me i'll buy a RCBS tumbler only because i like and use mostly RCBS products and have had good service with them. I don't really think one brand is better than the other as long as it gets the job done.

The Frankfort Arsenal tumbler marketed by MidwayUSA is probably the most inexpensive model on the market and it works GREAT. Had mine for 2 years so far and not a hiccup yet out of it.

I got a cabelas model and it has worked fine for 4 years and finally last weekend, its not vibrating enough to clean the cases. Kinda lost its shake? But before that I liked it.

I was thinking you get what you pay for, but from what I gather a cheap one is good enough

Thanks for all the input

I got the Lyman Turbo Twin. With two sizes of tubs it makes it easy to either tumble a lot or if you have a small load, put it in the little one. I find I am using the little one much more than the big tub. Less problem separating the brass as they can't hide in that small tub.

All the tumblers are made by the same company with the same Fasco Motors and off balance mechanisms.

Purchase them by price.
