> 24 hourI wet tumble a lot of brass and this steel media makes light work of that. Two pounds of this media is the perfect size for my machine. I mix these pins with 4 pounds of brass and in 2 hours all my brass looks new. A must for the reloader in your life.

> 24 hourThe 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.

> 24 hourThis 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.

> 24 hourFinally got around to trying these in my wet tumbler. Theyre just as good as more expensive offerings from your local shop. Recommended if youre trying to put together a loading setup on a budget.

> 24 hourIts really hard to get an idea of just how small these pieces really are. They are smaller than the leftover lead from a mechanical pencil. Thinner than (for a mechanical pencil the smallest i have seen is .05 lead, this is almost .04 diameter) at least they are magnetic but you will need something strong to collect them after a tumble. Id recommend a magnetic hook.

> 24 hourI always clean my coins that I find metal detecting in a tumbler with stainless steel media. I remove any valuable coins and jewelry first, then dump all the modern day coins into my tumbler. I add the stainless steel media, a few drops of dish soap or toilet bowl cleaner and some water. I let them tumble for at least six hours, then check on them. The stainless steel media does a great job of getting the built up dirt and minerals off of the coins, even in the little nooks and crannies. The media also cleans jewelry very well. I make it a point to keep it clean and dry when not in use. The very last pic shows coins that I tumbled for about six hours. All of the other pics are of coins and other items that I dug up while metal detecting. As you can see, most things are encrusted with dirt, grime, and mineral deposits. Cleaning the coins one a time with a brush is not an option. For that reason alone, is why I use a rotating tumbler with the stainless steel media. I’m very happy with the end results. With the coins clean, they will process through the CoinStar machines, something that would not happen if they had not been cleaned. I hope the review is helpful. Thank you.

> 24 hourThese are great. They are ferris stainless I think because a magnet will pick them up if I drop a few. They clean brass amazingly well.

> 24 hourFor brass cartridge tumbling, this is the way to go. You need to deprime first if you want primer pockets cleaned. These pins will scrub you cases inside and out like new. Amazing how good they work. Use with hot water and lemi shine. Please have a good tub to work in when separating pins from cases. These little pins will go everywhere if your not careful. Dont try to do this in a washtub or sink without some kind of very fine screen over the drain or you will lose a bunch of them. A big magnet is a big help. They dont polish cases very bright. If you want your cases super shiny, follow up with a vibratory cleaner and add some rouge to it.

> 24 hourThis 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.

> 24 hourThese pins are nice. None are irrigurlars on sizes. Do a great job in the little tumbler I have to clean them pesky pockets.
