For those who have tumbled to long...

I need one of those to turn off my loading bench lights at night. Especially when I'm sitting there.

Oops, Century Smart Digital Countdown Timer, sorry about that.

Thanks going to order a couple.

I think the digital, countdown is cool, but being cheap, I will keep the old $3 timer which is like JB listed in post #3, which I have probably used for 15 or 20 years. I solved the problem of it turning the tumbler back on by removing all the little plastic start and stop clips except one stop, which is set at 12:00. If I want two hours, I simply turn it to 10:00 and walk away. I figured I would probably loose the other clips, so I taped them to the outside of timer and they are still there all these years later, tho I doubt I will ever use it for anything else.

Again, I think the one posted is way cool, but if you have an old on laying around, it will do the job just fine.

I need one of those. I've left mine on for a few days before. Don't use it much since I switched to ss tumbling.

This is a good idea, Thanks

Wish those had been available when I got timers. I ordered a couple of the timers like you see on tennis courts and in locker rooms. Mine will go up to 8 hours, just twist to the desired time and forget it. I put them in metal electrical boxes with duplex outlets on them. There's one on the polisher and another for the lead furnace.

Still think the ginkgo biloba is a better idea… Ha!

I bought a bottle of ginkgo biloba many years ago.
A friend asked if it was working.
I told her I have no idea, I keep forgetting to take it.
The timer looks good.
I have had really shinny brass before.
Tumbler in a detached garage, been forgotten for days at a time before.

I like shiny brass. But there are times when I went back to the shed to make sure everything was unplugged. Then one night I looked out the window and saw that the lights were on. I could have sworn I had turned them off. Chemicals will do that to you......

great minds, well, you know

Leave the vibrator on FOR A WEEK because you thought you would shine up a few while the wife got ready for vacation (takes as long as the vacation),
Come back a WEEK later (9 days actually), the motor is smoked and the brass is REALLY shiny, your brand new media is dust...

My cleaning is done in a cement mixer, hard to forget that's running!

My wife tells me to switch that racket off so I don't need a timer��
