Sonic cleaner or tumbler? Which is better and why?

[caveman741]

Just trying to make up my mind on which one I want to go with.
What do you use and which do you prefer kind of thing?

Ultrasonic cleaners will clean your cases like brand new but won't make them shiny. Tumblers will clean them (but not as well as an ultrasonic and takes longer) and makes cases shiny. Shiny ammo does not shoot better than dull looking ammo. So the short answer is if you want super clean and super shiny, get both.

Thumlers tumbler with SS pins, water & lemishine works wonders inside and out, even primer pockets. Shinier than new brass!

I use both. Clean and shiny.
