I got a hornady with a off/on switch built into the cord. It works just fine and its fairly quite. I put a beach blanket down and some of that non slip rubber padding and it cut the noise and rattle down.
Many people mention they have used Brasso for 20+ years of brass tumbling,Don't use Brasso it contains Amonia which will weaken brass cases!

Brand is subjective like anything else. The motor is really the only part you might need to consider aside from capacity. Most brands are made in China or Mexico so I don't believe you'll see a noticeable difference in quality on vibrating tumblers between brands.I'm just getting ready to buy a Tumbler, what should I look for? Any specific brand?
HAHAHA...Didn't even notice the dates on the original thread before postingYou revived a 13 year old topic and Brasso is bad for brass.
If the OP is still alive I'd like to know what shinny means.
I wet tumbled with no pins in boiling water, a drop of Dawn, and about 20 granules of Lemi-Shine, rinse and dry.
Shiny brass doesn't work any better than dull. In fact it causes trouble at times.
I use a vibrating tumbler with walnut media. It runs in the garage so the noise isn't a problem.I used to use walnut media in a vibrating tumbler. Never had an issue getting polished but had to leave it running for a ridiculous amount of time. Finally switched over to a wet tumbler with stainless pins. In short it's awesome. Cases come out completely clean inside and out, even the primer pockets. And with no media dust/residue.

I actually bought a bottle of Wash-n-Wax to try in the wet tumbler but never tried it.Wet tumble with a tbsp of Armor All Wash-N-Wax and about a teaspoon of citric acid/Lemishine. Works like a champ, only have to run the tumbler for about 3 hours and no dust to deal with. I haven't started up my vibratory tumbler in probably 10 years now, not sure I ever will again either.
