    Quoted from SilverLiningMan:

    I’ve got a Lyman Cyclone rotary tumbler on its way, which comes with stainless steel pins as the tumbling media. Couldn’t find many posts about Pinsiders using that model but the brass shell reloading guys seem to love them and the idea of SS media appealed to me (reusable, no dust, etc). I’ll report back with some results if anyone is interested.

    That tumbler is twice as expensive as a Berry but please do share your experience.

    Quoted from mrm_4:

    I need to start doing this with mine. My damn rod is stripping out after the 5th use on my new one. [quoted image]

    That appears to be the cheap-o HF tumbler. If so, it's only gonna get worse from here. I wasted too much time and $$ on several of those garbage units.

    Get a Berry instead and you'll never look back.

    Quoted from mrm_4:

    What’s the secret to keep the harbor freight tumbler’s center bolt from stripping? I’m on my 3rd one of these and I’d probably still be using my first if it wasn’t for this stupid stripped thread issue. Too tight it strips, too loose and the lid vibrates itself into oblivion and the bowl spins.

    The “secret” is that the HF tumblers are JUNK and I wasted probably 6 of them before buying a Berry.

    Cut your losses NOW and get a Berry. You will be surprised how much quieter and easier it works.
