Good but not perfect.

I just purchased one of these tumblers and it arrived yesterday. I got it put together and noticed that the cover lid and gasket looked a little on the thin side. Filled it with media, brass and solution, and, sure enough it leaked. No amount of finessing the cover knobs seemed to cure the leaking. I resorted to a thicker foam rubber gasket with some fender washers under the knobs and the leaking stopped. Maybe the Chinese contractor cut corners on the original design and light-weighted the cover flange on the current batch of tumblers, regardless, STM should do a little Q.C. on some samples of their stuff. Other than that one bitch, the tumbler is well made, although, perhaps just a wee bit over priced, in my opinion. We'll see how it holds up over time.

I have been using vibrating case cleaning devices for forty years. I got tired of flash holes being plugged and the gritty debris so I bought this rotary tumbler. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and ease of operation. Tumbler is quiet and robust. My existing media separator works equally well this this device. Cases come out much cleaner with no flash holes being plugged. A suggestion to the manufacturer would be to add a timer. Absolutely no complaints with its function.

I bought this Tumbler a few years ago to clean brass and polish rocks because of it high capacity.
It has been run continuously for days/weeks polishing rocks with no problems. I bought a second drum liner for case polishing.
The only issue has been the drive belt. If you leave the belt installed and don't use the tumbler for a long period of time, the belt can take a set and will slip at the small pulley. Easy fix is to remove belt when not in use,
Overall a solid and well built wet tumbler.
