Best 14 inexpensive Reloading – Case Cleaning

Once my local bass pro shop and. We’re gonna see how well this. Cleaner so we’re gonna do this and it says that it cleans all gun parts safe for all firearms finishes quickly removes carbon dirt grease and powder. Residue probably do about I’m gonna go. Ahead and run it through one cycle see how it do i got a feeling it’s gonna. Take more than that because that one. Shot is probably not designed to work on. Ninety plus year old gunk didn’t crap. But we’ll see how it goes just a minute. Alright here we are down at where the. Ultrasonic cleaner is i have an eye sonic two point one quart it’s supposed. To say that’s supposed to hold two point one cords but it’s actually a little smaller than that I’ve got the one shot here we’re gonna try it now the direction state let’s see here shake. Gently before using protection freezing. Alright dilute is a forty to one ratio. Or a half ounce a solution to twenty. Ounces of distilled water tap water. Can’t be used however distilled water will improve cleaning action and reduce water spots when drying rinse cleaning solution from parts after cleaning safe for use with all gun parts all right so. I’m gonna go ahead and do that I’ve already got my parts in here now. I’m not gonna bore you with watching me fill this thing up with water and trying to figure out how much it’s gonna take, but we’ve got that we got the distilled water, and we’re gonna plug it in and get. It go back in a second okay so it. Only ended up taking one ounce of the. Hornady one shot cleaning gun cleaning. Solution and 40 ounces of water let’s go. Ahead and put it in there we go. Parts are in there now I’m gonna set. This for thirty minutes the instructions did not say how long to. Do it for so I’m gonna go ahead and do one thirty minute cycle and then also on. Top of that I’m gonna set the heater that way it gives a heating. To help clean it all rights so we will. See you again after 30 minutes okay. So it is coming to the end of the cycle we’re gonna see how it looks off here. Oh wow look how nasty that solution is. Wow that’s kind of surprising i didn’t. Think it was gonna work that well obviously there is a lot of crap in. There oh geez hey look at the sides i really scrubbed. Off a lot of stuff it looks like possibly mm that looks a lot better than. What it was the first time or when it went in now wearing gloves cuz i have no. Idea how caustic this stuff is dad focus. Ding you remember this was like. Totally coated black. A lot more pitting and rust that’s kind. Of disappointing it’s really hoping. What’s gonna be like that thing go ahead. And run it through another 30. Minutes and see how it looks after that. All right so according to the ultrasonic. Cleaner company i got to let it sit for about 20 minutes and then i can go ahead and start it up again and i will be back. After the second cycles get done with the second cycle wow that’s its still. Surprising me that’s my help i kept it. On frame huh sorry guys all right that. Is definitely a lot cleaner because i. Was looking at this thing earlier and i mean it was just caked on with crap. Definitely good yeah i mean for the most. Part looks like it did pretty good but uh still seen some gunk spots and. But considering what it just went through and how much stuff was on it i. Think it’s one shot stuff works right. Extremely well. Hey it does have the tick marks on it. Couldn’t tell earlier yeah I’m gonna go. Ahead and set this soak this and hops overnight and then get a brush out to scrub it all down but yeah it’s it. Actually really surprised me i mean it got a lot of the crap off of it. Wow not bad at all. All right so that horny one shot stuff. In it seems like it works really good i definitely recommend it especially if you’re not trying to do. Something like this you know nine decade old parts and stuff for the mosin nag ant. But well even then i mean it’s gonna. Really help your cleaning process time. Go down lot less scrubbing your gonna. Have to do — yeah i totally recommend. This stuff is honest i think this stuff worked fantastic like i said considering how it was. Before okay there you go. Workaday one shot stuff fantastic gun. Parts formula if you got an ultrasonic cleaner definitely recommend it now i. Just have to clean out my clear all. Right take care guys. You.

I for anyone who has the horny lock and. Load sonic cleaner and i was looking at this stuff here the cleaning Sullivan to. Go solvent it goes with it i saw this. Container here on amazon and going by. The shake i thought i had an idea of how. Big it was i was a little surprised when. I got it cuz the shape of it looks to me like a yeah looks like rainier food like. That the kind of container radiator fluid going just to give you a size. Comparison ah it’s pretty small it’s 32. Fluid ounces i wasn’t paying attention when i ordered it said i just looked at the shape i figured it was something. Like that there’s some nitty-gritty little. Bottle you don’t use a lot and it. Says she used about a half ounce for 20. Ounces of water i guess would be enough. To fill that thing up but i just thought. I’d point that out for anyone who was. Looking into this.

Hi my name is ken sakamoto I’m the. Senior product manager for our cbs and i want to introduce you to the new vibratory case polisher this is a vibratory case polisher features a 14. Pound capacity drum and it also includes. A straining lid there are two models there is a 120 us and canada version and. There’s a changeable plug international. Version that will cover the uk europe and australia the vibratory case polisher from our cbs.

Okay so let’s open her up using my handy. Dandy kershaw scallion we open the box. And we’ll be fine on top is a sippy pan. And then your six pounds of corn cob. Media and under that is one well packed. And inside of the tumbler is your. Metallic brass polish so let’s go ahead. And get this puppy set up let’s see if we can’t polish some brass okay I’ve. Wiped out the inside there was some residue i don’t know if that’s from packing or from window during assembly. Because it looks like there’s some. Oil there where they assembled via the carriage bolt they’re in the washer but. The instructions yes I’ve read the instructions say to fill the bowl about two-thirds full of your dry corn cob media. Yeah it looks about two-thirds full. I’m guessing yeah i say it’s about right. And then set the tumbler on a flat. Concrete surface I’m going to move it from here and move down to the floor. Eventually and it says if you want to. Add your two cupfuls of that brass. Bright polish to each load oops if. Desired so let’s do that right now one. Cap full two cupfuls okay not quite as. Clean as i would like it to be but hey it’ll work okay add brass c capacity. Chart capacity for two to three is 450 i. Don’t know if you can see that right here see if i can get that in focus here. We go a thousand nine millimeters 645. Acp 450 223 or 250 30.6 i have probably. About 150 of them here so you want to. Add your brass. And put the lid on and of course tighten. The lid and let’s go ahead and put this. On a concrete surface like it says okay i found a spot on the floor that’s close enough to a plug and so i’ve went ahead. And set it all it plugged it all in made sure that everything’s good to go the sheet says if you’re just going to clean the brass go with about 30 to 60 minutes but I’m going to polish the brass you want to go more like several hours so that’s going to do i put gumby up there to you know give a little ride i know it’s not gonna last very long up there but let’s go ahead see what happens. No it’s like he’s swimming oh that’s. Awesome go gumby go come to go well I’ll come. Back at several hours and see how it turns out okay it’s been about i guess. Three hours i guess cops assemble and no company didn’t end up staying on their i just put them right back on their see what else he would do. But there seems to be yeah okay. Actually it’s pretty quiet well we could. Not hear it from inside the house in the. Garage so it’s actually i thought so. Let’s go ahead and dump out the media see how clean the brass is ok comes with. This really neat handy-dandy sifter pan this is just a cat litter box container. That we’ve used it’s empty now well be. Have a couple cats so these are actually quite handy for a number of other things as well but let’s go ahead and try. Sipping let’s see what we come up with i. Guess i could try something yeah all. Right so it’s like panning for gold. I worked out really well so next thing. I’m not gonna go ahead and put the clean brass in a separate container just so i. Can separate it kind of figure out when they’re doing it next so obviously you still have stuff in the brass but if you look that’s actually. Really clean it was actually very dirty around the case mouth obviously because they’ve been fired the primers are still in them i didn’t want to go ahead and. Deep prime and lube dirty cases so I’ll. Say they turned out most of these are actually lake city brass because i got these from most of these are my georgia arms ammo box already once fired brass. From georgia arms but like i said it’s. All lake city here’s a couple this is i believe a winchester so it’s a little. But mix but mostly it’s going to be the. It’s gonna be the lake city brass so I’d. Go through this. All right of course this media is. Reusable it’s not like you use it once and you gotta toss it so and save as. Much as oh yeah now as far as the brass polisher it says to add some every time. You do it so i think not really well. There’re the media that i have used and i. Think I’m gonna go ahead and do some 45 acp brass cases here my 223 right in. Cases you can see the primers distilling them and let me tell you something this. I think did an amazing job there you. Now if you look really carefully you can see you know some you know spots. Where it’s not perfectly clean i guess if i had left them in longer then i think was just a little under three hours it probably would have gotten it but like the case mouths were or. Especially on the neck area they were actually very dark very black. These look great so this is the cabala’s. Model 400 vibratory case tumbler i got. The kit so like i said it pretties much came with everything including the media the polish of course the. Tumbler and the sifting basket which is kind of like panning for brass so i. Highly recommend it as far as longevity of course I’ve only used it once so but initial impressions. Are fantastic so you’re thinking your. Getting what i think this was like um almost like 70 bucks i believe at. Cabala’s it wasn’t it was under a hundred well under 100 i know that much but if you’re looking for a brass tumbler and wanted to get a starting kit. Starter kit this actually is very nice so thanks for watching and i think I’m gonna go clean more brass.

Hi big bear 1946 here today we’re going. To take a look at cabala’s model 400 vibratory case tumbler kit well here’s. The box says it arrived here last night. Inside was the case tumbler kit the. Packing list with the read turn order. Label and a sample of allegra the kit. Includes cabala’s model 400 vibratory case tumbler 8 ounce bottle of brass. Case polish six pounds of corn cob media. A sifter pan and one page of. Instructions the instructions say to. Fill the tumbler bowl two-thirds full of dry cleaning media then if desired. At about two cupfuls of brass case. Polish. I have some recently picked up brats from the range 9-millimeter the. Instructions say the capacity for nine. Millimeters is approximately one thousand shells line we have about 200. But we’ll give it a try now the. Instructions say to set the tumbler on a flat concrete surface which we’ll do. Right after we take a look make sure. That everything is working as it should. Instructions also say that to clean the. Brash should take 30 to 60 minutes and to polish the brass several hours so. We’re going to take this and put it on the floor for one hour take a look what the brass looks like one more hour take a look at so the. Brass looks like and then a final hour to see what it looks like after three hours of tumbling well after the first. Hour i pulled out a sampling of shells to look at, and they’re pretty darn clean i like to of course see them go for. Another hour see if we can polish him up. To a nice shine well as promised here’s. Another sampling after the second hour as you can see they’re pretty clean and. Shiny looking i don’t know how much cleaner they are than the first hour but. They look good enough to me to be. Possibly reloaded at this point they’re. Not highly polished on the inside, but they don’t really need it I’m pretty. Happy with the way this thing is working I’m also very happy with how quiet it is. It’s not very noisy at all well okay. We’re going to put these in for one more hour, and then we’ll see what they look like it’s been three hours now, so we’re. Going to empty the media and the shells into the sifter pan. They look very clean very polished. They look clean inside although they’re not polished well there might not be 200. Shells here maybe closer to a hundred. And maybe the more shells or the fewer shells might make a difference on the. Outcome but it seemed to do a pretty good job so that was a look at cabala’s. Model 400 vibratory case tumbler kit. Till next time by the way this video was. Made just using an ipad and an app. Called pinnacle studio thank you.

Hey guys got an interesting product test today this is the frankfort arsenal brass cleaning solution so i just ran. Out of lemme shine that i was using to clean my brass and this is the last batch that i did with that it works pretty well it’s let me shine appliance. Cleaner plus a couple drops of liquid soap like youtube and the internet. Recommends but yeah I’m curious to see. How this compares so I’ve got another bowl of dirty nine millimeter brass I’m gonna run it for two and a half hours the directions on this say to use distilled water I’m to keep to go out. And buy distilled water so i did run all of this water through the filter on my refrigerator so I’m gonna use that i measured it off to exactly 80 ounces at. The line here and to that I’m going to add two ounces of the liquid which I’m. Going to measure with three ounce cups. I’m gonna say that’s about two ounces so. It’s half an ounce for every 20 fluid ounces so that should be the correct. Amount. All right so here is the final result i. Have my opinion I’m curious to know what. Do you guys think i can clearly see a. Difference between these two hopefully. The camera will pick it up but i don’t. No post a comment down below which do you think is the better looking brass. Have a good one thanks for watching.

Peer reviews are always a popular topic. On the gun channels here on youtube but. Normally people are reviewing gear which they just recently got and it’s. Basically show and tell for the most part and that’s fine and dandy but occasionally it’s nice to see a review of a product which someone has head for quite a while and that’s what this is going to be I’m going to do a little review of this tumblers tumbler ultra. Vibe 18 cartridge case vibratory cleaner and I’ve owned this for at least 15. Years and actually i purchased this unit. Secondhand so I’m really not sure how old it is it could be as old as 25 years. Old for all i know i believe they’ve been making these tumblers for about 30. Years so i think I’m pretty well-versed. With this product to be able to speak on it now this is a vibratory case cleaner. As i mentioned and it’s very heavy-duty. Construction now there’s a lot of. Different case tumblers on the market, and they vary in price quite considerably, and they also vary in their construction and quality quite a bit and I’ve seen some of the cheaper tumblers. That are out there, and they’re quite lightly built and of course the prices. Are quite cheap compared to this one these sell for about a hundred and. Eighty to two hundred dollars depending upon where you purchase them but i think. That’s money that’s very well spent because I’ve used this extensively for. As i said about 15 years or so and it saw us before i got it and it has never. Given me any problems at all so that’s money that is you know well. Well spent i think i paid $100 for this. Secondhand which at the time seemed like a bit more than you know might have been. Justified but I’m quite happy that i spent that money back then because like i said its given me all those years of service so let’s have a closer look at. This machine it’s got a capacity of. About a gallon and a half is gallons. Which is 6 pounds of tumbling media they. Rated four and a total capacity of. Eighteen pounds with media and the brass. Added to it and that equates to somewhere between 200 and 700 cartridges. Cases depending upon of course the caliber and the size of cases i would. Probably refrain from putting too. Much in it because it does tend to slow down the cleaning action a little bit but i routinely tumble up to 500. Nine-millimeter cases in it without any particular problem at all know this is of course this is the ultra vibe 18 there. Are a couple of other tumblers in their vibratory cleaning range which are on. Each side of the case capacity wise. There’s the model 10 which is smaller of. Course and the model 45 which is larger this is a nice size with a fairly decent. Capacity for cleaning now this unit as well. Has some features that motor is a. Thermally protected ball bearing motor. One thirtieth of a horsepower and it. Seems to run fairly quietly oh get the. Camera set up a little better here we’ll have a closer look at some of the features of this tumbler okay the top of. The tumbler is held on with a wing nut on top of this threaded rod remove the. Wing nut take the top off there’s a washer below that the washer has a. Backing on it a rubber backing on it and. One thing you’ll notice right away when you compare this to most of the other tumblers which are cheaper is how heavy everything is on it quite a substantial. Piece of plastic for a lid and it’s as well. Lined inside with a rubber liner to keep noise to a minimum which is a nice feature some of the cheaper tumblers do not have that type of feature they have a very thin plastic lid also the. Thickness of the polyethylene bowl quite a bit more substantial than a lot of those cheaper brands of tumbler now if. We look inside the machine here a little. Closer up here this one a little bit. There you can see that the bowl is held on by this once again by this threaded rod this runs down to the motor and the. Bowl can be removed if you needed to replace it for some reason or another some people will use have a couple of. These bowls though use one for liquid case cleaning and one. For dry case cleaning I’ve only ever had experience using the dry case cleaning method I’ll just turn the machine on here you can see the action of it when it’s running you can see the media roles. Around in a kind of cyclonic effect. Comes up from the outside rolls over and. Goes towards the center and carries the cartridge cases with it i got some nine-millimeter in here at the moment being clean and if you overload these. Machines they do not clean the brass but. As quickly so it’s best to make sure that you don’t put too much in them you want to make sure that there’s that rotation of the media inside there to get a good effect. One thing about these machines is there’s no on/off switch on them they start immediately when you plug them into the wall so one thing that i like to do is to use an appliance timer like. This is kind of like the lamp timers except it’s got a little bit bigger rating and you’ve got a rating on. The back here that tells you the capacity that this timer will handle you. Want to buy one of these timers which will handle the rating of the motor so i. Basically like to plug the machine into one of these timers and then i can set. The timer up to run when I’m not around so now the list of the machine run although it’s not really all that loud but it might as well run while I’m not here listening to it and then you can run it for whatever number hours you’d like to run it for so that’s a one thing. That some of the other machines do have a switch on the cord really no big deal. One way or the other in my opinion whether they have that feature or not some people would like that i guess if you’re setting these machines up in a place where it’s hard to access the wall socket it’s nice. To have the switch on the cord you could always put a switch on these cords if you really needed that feature moving down on the tumbler you’ll see that it’s mounted on top of this the bowl here is mounted on top of this metal stamping and between the metal base plate i guess. You’d call it and the bowl there is a. Foam rubber piece which is sandwiched in. Here that’s to hold everything good and firmly and below that the whole thing is. Sitting on top of these springs a little. Closer there with the zoom so the whole. Think sits on top of these springs, and they are in turn on top of rubber like a. Rubber bushing inside that there’s the. Rubber bushing underneath there so that. All keeps the vibration from moving down to the surface that you have the tumbler. Sitting on top of will go back out here. A little bit further and you can see that the base itself here is a steel. Stamping and the feet are rubber. Bought and they have a steel screw. Holding those in place so all in all. Really very robust construction and. We’ll flip it over here a little bit. That’s the cobwebs under there should clean that up before i turn the camera. On and there’s the motor underneath so. The motor is a pretty decent-sized motor. For this type of application quite a bit. Bigger than you’ll find on some of the smaller capacity cheap tumblers you can. See this is the weight which is clamped to the shaft that is actually what gives you the vibrating motion that that weight is clamped on and that makes the whole thing on ballast which when it spins gives you the shaking action and these are supposed to vibrate at about. 3,000 vibratory cycles per minute so see. If we can look at the can look at the. Motor tag there and it is osco. Industrial incorporated 115 volts. Thermally protected sealed ball bearing. So given lots of good service so far so. There you have it that’s my review of my tumblers tumbler ultra vibe a product which is manufactured in the. United states and which has been manufactured there for about 30 years so. A really good reliable product if you’re in the market for a cartridge case cleaner for reloading purposes i can. Highly recommend this product and i. Think if you get one you’ll be quite happy with it talk to you later guys.

Hey guys going to be cleanin some brass. Today at my lyman turbo 1200 total flow. Tumbler here thought I’d give a little. Overview of it in case anybody’s. Interested in buying one of these it has. A pretty tight-fitting lid you don’t get. A lot of dust when you’re tumbling and. You can see its kind of like spring-loaded the unique thing about this one. Is versus a lot of the other ones on the. Market has this plug you can take out and when it’s running a lot media will. Fall out that hole and it comes with a. Pan so you stick your pan under there it. Drains all the media at that time it’s. Going to make it kind of dusty then so. You may want to do this in a garage or. Outside or the basement area where your. Kids aren’t going to be because a lead content and always wear gloves whenever. I’m working with dirty brass so this. Came with three bags of this media i. Haven’t actually tried this media yet I’ve been using his first walnut shells. I got from a pet store so kind of finely. Crushed walnut shell that’s been working. Out I’m ready for a media change. I’ve probably cleaned approximately i. Don’t know a couple thousand bret maybe. More than that three four thousand breast cases. Pistol rounds and before i had to change. The media also i like to put a few drops of this new finished car polish in there. That puts a little waxy finish it. Polishes the case but it also puts a. Little like wax onto the brass and it. Makes resizing easier it hasn’t caused. Any trouble I’ve never had any miss. Fighters on any of the rounds I’ve shot. Plenty any of my reloads so give you a. Look inside here well that works the way. You can train your media it has like a bowl inside a bowl there’s a wing nut. Here that holds a the two together so. That’s basically it I’ll load this up and I’ll get a shot of. That way guys i got to load it up with a couple hundred brass cases just so wrong. So i got some 380 so 357 magnums and some. Nine-millimeter in there another good. Think about this lyman tumbler that’s. Right there it’s made in usa i did a. Little research before i bought this one. And i heard of some people buying some. Imported ones, and they weren’t so good and tumbled a brasserie gotten it in. Last very long so i think you can’t go wrong when you buy something made in usa like this so i ended up putting in about. I put in to the bags in there and I’ll. Turn the tumbler around take a look at the action. I’ll let that go for about an hour -. With walnut’ media that I’ve used in the. Past i let that go about two hours and. That was that real good what i usually. Do all this control. We finished our polish on a couple of. Drips. That’ll work itself of them. I was like yeah to the dust on. This wing nut sort of thing is made out. Of rubber so it doesn’t loosen up for the vibrations also this has rubber feet. On the bottom so it doesn’t skip around. On your counter top or wherever you have it located but it’s not a bad idea get a. To get a rubber mat like this put it. Down sir that’s a vibrator on him all. Right so come back in a couple hours and. We’ll take a look at that grass and see. All nice and shiny there all right it’s been about two hours or so and the brass. Is looking pretty good nice and clean so. I’m going to empty out no take this plug. Out and turn it on put the hood back on. So i don’t get a lot of us. Once sadder media’s i really know you. Tell me want to put some here in perfection in a little bit this points. What I’ll do is I’ll I’ll take the lid. Off you got probably like 90% of the. Media out of there now and basically. It’s just your brass but you still have media inside the brass so what you have. To do is turn it on. Yeah. All right guys it is the finished. Product this time i use the media that came with. Alignment tumbler and previously I’ve. Been using the katie walnut pepper. Letter i notice the brass is coming out. A little lighter with the lyman. Media i think that’s going to make a difference but cl yeah this looks a. Little more yellow the brass something. Like lois i don’t think it makes a difference but yeah I’d recommend the. Alignment brand if you’re going to get a tumbler seems to be had been real. Reliable for me I’ve had it about two years had no problems with it you know. In about two hours your brass is done if. You want to save a little money I’d recommend getting some of this walnut crushed walnut shells works good. Alright take care.

Hello today I’m going to be polishing. Some brass with my brand-new lyman turbo. 1200 tumbler and i got some media. This is the doughnut it’s made from. Crushed load walnut shells we’re going. To take that and put some medium through. The bowl put it about half full and i. Started i got a bunch of brats either saving over the years and I’m. Going to do some on 45 this is just some. Pretty rough-looking brass then. Put lid on and take this down till. That’s a slight bulge in the middle. There we go little bulb, and we’ll plug it in at my. Power cord here. Sound right and i started that quarter after 6:00 I’m gonna let it run for about two or three hours and check. Okay well i fell asleep and didn’t get. That gonna check on this so it ran now. Uh three and a half hours later so let’s. Just see how it looks after three halves. Hours there we go looks great before and. After a couple of uh we better see the. Difference there you go bottom row the. Top row isn’t that his polish and these. Are the range breath is these are three. Hours like kid runs do it’s just corn. Cob and do a final polish on but nice. And smooth and clean off right now so. The next step would be a corn plain corn cob as opposed just the walnut here well. I got to sort him out and put in a next. Container and start another batch thanks for watching well they had they’ve been. Polished now they’ve tumbled for about three and a half hours and I’m gonna. Just try to dump them off you this. Filters up the cover sister. Probably a better way done. If i had a round container and then he. Had out of a gallon bucket with it i. Could just stick that lid in on a bucket. And then do it that way so if i get my. Wife here hold that one hand so this would fall. I had to make a better way of doing this. The litter you just roll it and tumble it through but let’s just grab me a. Dollar if you can I’m not done okay. Start now it’s recording okay so I’m. Done here I’ve poured everything out of here and i kind of shifted it through the lid and i. Made a little bit of a mess you can see. The video and here’s the finish brass. This is 45 acp and that’s filmed under. Led lighting by the way under my workbench so looks pretty good I’m on. Throw this back into the tumbler. And throwing the rest of my. Brass and 45 does that sort it out let. That run then yeah. I collect trash over the years there’s a. Pile of three uh nine-millimeter i got. And 40 smith & wesson. Eventually I’ll be shipping off those. There’s another bucket of brass i cap mm. So it’s funny i see the 45s almost. Always have a 9 millimeter mm and every. Every 45 leva 11 9 millimeter sits inside of it so. When i looked at writing with wonder which well thanks a lot, and we’ll talk. To you later.

Peer reviews are always a popular topic. On the gun channels here on youtube but. Normally people are reviewing gear which they just recently got and it’s. Basically show and tell for the most part and that’s fine and dandy but occasionally it’s nice to see a review of a product which someone has head for quite a while and that’s what this is going to be I’m going to do a little review of this tumblers tumbler ultra. Vibe 18 cartridge case vibratory cleaner and I’ve owned this for at least 15. Years and actually i purchased this unit. Secondhand so I’m really not sure how old it is it could be as old as 25 years. Old for all i know i believe they’ve been making these tumblers for about 30. Years so i think I’m pretty well-versed. With this product to be able to speak on it now this is a vibratory case cleaner. As i mentioned and it’s very heavy-duty. Construction now there’s a lot of. Different case tumblers on the market, and they vary in price quite considerably, and they also vary in their construction and quality quite a bit and I’ve seen some of the cheaper tumblers. That are out there, and they’re quite lightly built and of course the prices. Are quite cheap compared to this one these sell for about a hundred and. Eighty to two hundred dollars depending upon where you purchase them but i think. That’s money that’s very well spent because I’ve used this extensively for. As i said about 15 years or so and it saw us before i got it and it has never. Given me any problems at all so that’s money that is you know well. Well spent i think i paid $100 for this. Secondhand which at the time seemed like a bit more than you know might have been. Justified but I’m quite happy that i spent that money back then because like i said its given me all those years of service so let’s have a closer look at. This machine it’s got a capacity of. About a gallon and a half is gallons. Which is 6 pounds of tumbling media they. Rated four and a total capacity of. Eighteen pounds with media and the brass. Added to it and that equates to somewhere between 200 and 700 cartridges. Cases depending upon of course the caliber and the size of cases i would. Probably refrain from putting too. Much in it because it does tend to slow down the cleaning action a little bit but i routinely tumble up to 500. Nine-millimeter cases in it without any particular problem at all know this is of course this is the ultra vibe 18 there. Are a couple of other tumblers in their vibratory cleaning range which are on. Each side of the case capacity wise. There’s the model 10 which is smaller of. Course and the model 45 which is larger this is a nice size with a fairly decent. Capacity for cleaning now this unit as well. Has some features that motor is a. Thermally protected ball bearing motor. One thirtieth of a horsepower and it. Seems to run fairly quietly oh get the. Camera set up a little better here we’ll have a closer look at some of the features of this tumbler okay the top of. The tumbler is held on with a wing nut on top of this threaded rod remove the. Wing nut take the top off there’s a washer below that the washer has a. Backing on it a rubber backing on it and. One thing you’ll notice right away when you compare this to most of the other tumblers which are cheaper is how heavy everything is on it quite a substantial. Piece of plastic for a lid and it’s as well. Lined inside with a rubber liner to keep noise to a minimum which is a nice feature some of the cheaper tumblers do not have that type of feature they have a very thin plastic lid also the. Thickness of the polyethylene bowl quite a bit more substantial than a lot of those cheaper brands of tumbler now if. We look inside the machine here a little. Closer up here this one a little bit. There you can see that the bowl is held on by this once again by this threaded rod this runs down to the motor and the. Bowl can be removed if you needed to replace it for some reason or another some people will use have a couple of. These bowls though use one for liquid case cleaning and one. For dry case cleaning I’ve only ever had experience using the dry case cleaning method I’ll just turn the machine on here you can see the action of it when it’s running you can see the media roles. Around in a kind of cyclonic effect. Comes up from the outside rolls over and. Goes towards the center and carries the cartridge cases with it i got some nine-millimeter in here at the moment being clean and if you overload these. Machines they do not clean the brass but. As quickly so it’s best to make sure that you don’t put too much in them you want to make sure that there’s that rotation of the media inside there to get a good effect. One thing about these machines is there’s no on/off switch on them they start immediately when you plug them into the wall so one thing that i like to do is to use an appliance timer like. This is kind of like the lamp timers except it’s got a little bit bigger rating and you’ve got a rating on. The back here that tells you the capacity that this timer will handle you. Want to buy one of these timers which will handle the rating of the motor so i. Basically like to plug the machine into one of these timers and then i can set. The timer up to run when I’m not around so now the list of the machine run although it’s not really all that loud but it might as well run while I’m not here listening to it and then you can run it for whatever number hours you’d like to run it for so that’s a one thing. That some of the other machines do have a switch on the cord really no big deal. One way or the other in my opinion whether they have that feature or not some people would like that i guess if you’re setting these machines up in a place where it’s hard to access the wall socket it’s nice. To have the switch on the cord you could always put a switch on these cords if you really needed that feature moving down on the tumbler you’ll see that it’s mounted on top of this the bowl here is mounted on top of this metal stamping and between the metal base plate i guess. You’d call it and the bowl there is a. Foam rubber piece which is sandwiched in. Here that’s to hold everything good and firmly and below that the whole thing is. Sitting on top of these springs a little. Closer there with the zoom so the whole. Think sits on top of these springs, and they are in turn on top of rubber like a. Rubber bushing inside that there’s the. Rubber bushing underneath there so that. All keeps the vibration from moving down to the surface that you have the tumbler. Sitting on top of will go back out here. A little bit further and you can see that the base itself here is a steel. Stamping and the feet are rubber. Bought and they have a steel screw. Holding those in place so all in all. Really very robust construction and. We’ll flip it over here a little bit. That’s the cobwebs under there should clean that up before i turn the camera. On and there’s the motor underneath so. The motor is a pretty decent-sized motor. For this type of application quite a bit. Bigger than you’ll find on some of the smaller capacity cheap tumblers you can. See this is the weight which is clamped to the shaft that is actually what gives you the vibrating motion that that weight is clamped on and that makes the whole thing on ballast which when it spins gives you the shaking action and these are supposed to vibrate at about. 3,000 vibratory cycles per minute so see. If we can look at the can look at the. Motor tag there and it is osco. Industrial incorporated 115 volts. Thermally protected sealed ball bearing. So given lots of good service so far so. There you have it that’s my review of my tumblers tumbler ultra vibe a product which is manufactured in the. United states and which has been manufactured there for about 30 years so. A really good reliable product if you’re in the market for a cartridge case cleaner for reloading purposes i can. Highly recommend this product and i. Think if you get one you’ll be quite happy with it talk to you later guys.

Lawn tractor wheel as a stand to elevate. It a little bit there are the goodies inside a mixture of various shell. Casings notice the kind of dark gold color the corn company you have used this media for probably a couple of years now and i just keep adding that. Kept full of this every so often if it. Looks like it’s even starting to get dry and there is a box that the that’s the. Box the tumbler came in and half of a. Minnow trap which I’ve picked up. Somewhere probably on a fishing trip and. I just closed off the inlet of the. Minnow trap put it in the box. Grab the tub. And there you have that’s the easy way. Or the cheap way to separate brass immediate and you just take the box and. Pour the media back in there and there. Yet.
