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

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.

I 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.

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 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.

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!

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.

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

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 am selling my vibrating case cleaner now that I have discovered stainless steel pins! My shell casing look like brand new when they come out of the rotary tumbler and even the insides are so much cleaner. Just add a little dish soap with the water and tumble away. One of the unexpected bonus to making the change to stainless pins is no nasty dust when separating the casings from the media since its all dissolved in with the water. Additionally unlike the dry media that gets dirty and needs to be replaced fairly often thats not the case with the stainless steel pins. If you are looking for a better way to clean cases bite the bullet and make the change its worth it!

Finally 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.
