Folks,

I've been watching these for quite a while since they first came out. It appears that they NEVER go on sale. Frustrated, I did a search on them and found them available on the WalMart dot com website.

Thinking it was spam of some sort I clicked on the image and lo and behold, the Frankfort Arsenal (Wet) SS Cast Tumbler kit for $151.00; $49.00 off the suggested retail price. I decided, lets see if this works. I ordered the unit, the WalMart website added state tax for my state; my total, delivered, with free S/H? $171.34.

Even some of the dealers I spoke to couldn't believe the price. None the less, I have it, and as I type, it is tumbling away in my shop. Just wanted to pass this deal onto others!

That's definitely less than what I paid for mine.

Too bad you got jammed for the tax, but still a bargain!

I got mine from Amazon delivered to my door for $172. They are $159.99 plus tax with free shipping. I've done a few thousand rifle and pistol cases and am really impressed. I have not had any pins stuck in the primer pockets or case necks with the .041 pins either. Rod

I previously switched from .041" diameter pins to .047" inch pins. In my experience with the .041" pins, I was getting pins stuck in flash holes in approx. 3% of the cases. No stuck pins with the .047" pins.

Happy Tumbling....

I think some of our Reloading Sales jobbers and dealers should take notice; ya' think?

I'm too busy trying out ultrasonic before I move on to that type of tumbler....although I do have a tread mill that is not being used right now.

No disrespect to anyone who wants to spend their money on an ultrasonic cleaner; I think they're great for cleaning jewelry, not [pistol/rifle] brass.

I used the additive they provided and went by their instructions; wasn't worth the effort since I couldn't clean but a handful at a time. I sold mine within a week. Just my .02 worth. Stainless pins and LemiShine/Dawn is the only way to go for me.

Funny, I got an ultrasonic as well. Still in the box. Used the F.A. first. Dun deal for me. Figured I would use it for cleanin parts. Love the dawn/lemishine.

I use the ultrasonic cleaner for cleaning my pistols.
