I have a Thumblers Tumbler. Had it for about 10 years but never took it out of the box till about a year and a half ago.
Can't believe how much of a piece of Poo the thing is!
I have now used 3 belts. I load it up with no more than 200 44 or 223 cases at a time. It squeals, rubs all the paint off so it leaves red dust all around it. Bushings are worn out. Any moisture on the drum and it won't spin. It leaks so this is constant.
It might have 50hrs of run time total. Now it let the smoke out of the motor.
I tried to contact the manufacturer by Email and by phone. They are useless. They can supply you with parts at a huge inflated cost.
The tumbler I use now my Grandfather bought in the early 70s still is going strong. Used it before and using it again!
Rant over.
