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

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.

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!

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 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

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 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.

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.
