2.5 LB Stainless Steel Tumbling Media Pins for Case Tumbling - 0.039 Diameter, 0.255 Length

I had never used pins always, ground medias like walnut shells, these work really well and really get hard inclusions off the surface of what you are trying to clean/smooth. I was worried the harder material might cause scratches but have yet to encounter any marring.

The quality looks good and consistent. I soaked a few in salty water and they remained rust free which means its good stainless steel. 2 pounds doesnt take up much volume so you might need more if youre trying to fill up a tumbler. 2 pounds is plenty for my needs.

I love to find rocks and tumble them. Many rockhounds are using this type of media now, so iI ordered this to see how it would work. I started with my rotary tumbler about 3/4 full and added these to fill in the spaces. I am tumbling various sizes of quartz, a hard material. I have not completely finished the tumbling process yet, but have just finished stage two. So far, I think this is doing a good job. I will update this post when I have gone through the entire process. I gave this four stars because it is HEAVY

I make small, wearable sculptures in enamel, metals, and glass, and use a vibratory tumbler to put a final polish on my work. For metals, I use stainless steel media in a variety of shapes that can reach into every nook and cranny of the surface. These pins are wonderful for getting into tiny spaces, and small enough that they also can pop right back out. They arrived clean and ready for use, in a small plastic jar with a screwtop lid, which will allow me to store them until needed. Recommended.

I use a rotary tumbler and have been using ceramic and plastic tumbling media. This is my first time trying stainless steel and it gives me a wonderful shine that I wasnt achieving with the other materials. This is a quality product, it came ready-to-use, in a nice reusable container, and Im happy with the results.

This product comes in a large pill bottle so I was confused at first. This is actually good though as it keeps moisture from the pins when not in use. The amount at 2 pounds is not really enough for a large tumbler, but would be appropriate for one the size of the average rock tumbler. Ideally suited for removal of discoloration and heavy build up of dirt and debris from metal objects by the wet tumbling method. Use of a magnet later makes clean up a breeze.

SOOO MUCH BETTER than vibrating with shell/cobb media! cases come out clean and shiny with clean primer pockets, something Im picky about. Worked good in my rock tumbler so I am going to step up to a full time case tumbler and get another bottle of pins. Just do it!

These pins are nice. None are irrigurlars on sizes. Do a great job in the little tumbler I have to clean them pesky pockets.

This looks like its going to be perfect to use for brass cleaning in the small tumbler that I have. Unfortunately, the lid came off during shipping and I had to reclaim about half the bottle from the pouch that it was shipped in.

im on my second batch of these not because they wear out but because they work so great i got a larger tumbler and needed more, i have reloaded for years and tried many products to wash and clean my brass and this stainless steel tumbling media with a tiny squirt of soap and lemi shine is the best thing i have every used it works great and never wear out, i love it and swear by it and i know you will too
