Does anyone own this tumbler?

[CALIFORNIA]

This looks to be extremely heavy duty, inexpensive, and comes from Harbour Freight.

nope never used one befor but for $40 might be worth a try

Do not do it I went through 2 before i bought my lyman

Wow I was under the impression that tumblers were much more expensive than that

 

[vagrantviking]

I'm tempted by that deal... They also have a metal bowl available too I see.

Jasonyuke can you elaborate a little on your experience with these?

I have the "Quick n EZ tumbler" by Frankford arsenal. Paid around $50.00 at WSS. Very similar in design to what you found. Mine works very good and it has run over 100 hrs now.

Sure after 1 year that same tumbler stoped working, with no replacement value, than I bought a second one i liked the price and really it worked quite well, the second one made it just over a year and bingo done, the vibrators quite working and it started to smoke the second one did while it gently hummed sure gald i was in my room at the time.

Can't go wrong with a lyman. Mine is 3 years old now and it's runs almost daily...

I like the $40 Berry's tumbler.

 

[John Y Cannuck]

my Lyman is at least ten years old. Great machine.

 

[Jaffray]

I got a hornady case tumbler 8 years and thousands of rounds and still going . I just cant remember what I paid for it. hmmmm

 

[vagrantviking]

No doubt that you usually get what you pay for. One way or another.

Its always a temptation when you see a good price thou.

 

[RePete]

My Lyman is 23 years old and still going strong.

 

[Silverback]

Though not as long as RePete my Lyman has been going strong for about 18 years and still works great. Though I did get a Dillon CV-2001 for Christmas, you have to love a tumbler that will take 1300 357 Mag brass at once.

Bought a Lyman 2500 after my Midway crapped out. Haven't had it long, but for my money , the bigger the better for case cleaning.

 

[Cummins4x4]

Bought a Lyman with auto flow, great feature, IMO spend the extra$

 

[Kev]

My Lyman cratered on me after about 6 years. I bought a RCBS the next time.

I`ve been using a thumlers tumbler for about 20 years now and only replaced two of the very inexpensive drive belts, about a buck each. I also use a dillon vibrator (case cleaner !!!!) and have used it for about 5 years with no problems.

I actually am on my second Dillon in about 16years. It's only a couple years old. But I only payed for the first.

I'll second that. My Lyman is 20+ years old and has thousands of hours on it. Never has given any trouble.
