I tried searching but found nothing on this piece of equipment in this sub forum.

Anyone have one of these?  Any comments?

Better? Equivalent? Worse?  than the Thumlers (TT)

I'd like to start wet tumbling and this looks a little more convenient than the TT.  Cost is not my main issue.

Thanks for any input.

Works well, thought about going the TT, but in the end I went with the Frankford.

It can easily do 1100+ 9mm...... 1/2 teaspoon lemi shine, 1/2 tablespoon of Dawn (ultra), and about 2 1/2 hour=like new brass.

If shiny clean brass makes you happy, it will put a smile on your face!

Bought one a couple months ago, I deprime then throw 10lbs of 9mm in there with the 5 pounds of media, 2 9mm full of dawn and a tiny bit of lemi shine. Comes out looking great and extremely clean.

I recently bought one.  I cant compare it to the other versions out there because this is the first wet tumbler I have bought.  I have run two loads through it and it has worked perfectly.  The capacity is good, it doesn't leak, and brass comes out very clean.  I would recommend one to anyone looking to start wet tumbling.

I have both.
I would not have believed it but I think the Frankford is better.
It spins faster and does a really good job with a lot more capacity than the Thumbler's
The clear window ends are already getting scratched up, so I don't think they're worth much, but the Frankford is superior overall, IMHO

Here is a batch on 9mm I put through my FA wet tumbler.
800 pieces of brass, 1 teaspoon Lemishine, 1 2 second squirt of dawn.

Is this tumbler a new item on the market? I ask because when I was researching tumblers a few weeks ago this one never came up on my radar. Based upon how much brass it can hold and its price it seems like a really great deal.

I have had mine about 5 months or so. I think that is when they came out.

Not really, I've had mine for 3 or 4 months now.
