Tumblers and Stainless Pins

[VanMan]

You can get a timer that you plug your tumbler into, we have one that we use for the Christmas lights that would work. I'll probably repurpose it for that use when I'm cleaning brass.

Good idea. I'm on the way to Canadian Tire anyhow so I'll have a look to see if I can pick one up.

For those of you with semiautomatic firearms that throw perfectly good brass away there is another major plus to wet tumbling. The stainless steel pins will scrub the vast majority of imbedded dirt and grit from your brass. The first thing I noticed was I didn't have any scratched case from sizing and didn't have to polish the inside of my dies to remove imbedded grit from the die.

And don't fall asleep when you are wet tumbling, the cases below were in my tumbler for 6 plus hours and pounded each other and peened the case mouths.

That is one feature I like on the Frankford Arsenal Tumbler, a timer that goes up to 3 hours so if you forget it it just stops.
