[QUOTE="aviator41, post: 2520560, member: 30309"] I've been tumbling my brass in walnut media after a sonic clean for as long as I can remember. Usually in some homebrew tumbler I've concocted. Lately I've been using an ice-cream maker and it's worked pretty well. I've cleaned thousand and thousands of pieces of brass with it. So much so, that I've worn a hole in the bottom of the aluminum tub. My wife, being the wonderful woman that she is, brought home a new ice-creamer maker for me to replace the dead one with. For whatever reason, it lasted one weekend and died. I guess I got lucky with the first one. Last night, my sonic cleaner died - so now it's time to get serious about a replacement system. I know there are two schools of though on brass cleaning. people either love the idea of super-clean brass or they don't see the point of cleaning at all. I like shiny brass. It keeps my dies clean and makes me feel like I've made a top quality piece of ammo in the end. I don't want to debate the merits of cleaning brass. I've made my mind up on that already (I like to have clean brass) So I want to go with stainless pins and a wet tumbler set up. I've looked at the Thumblers Tumbler and I like what I'm seeing but the price seems a bit high. What are you guys using to clean brass and why? [/QUOTE]
