How clean was the inside of the brass?

Put the tubs on and spun them with one hand while turning the switch on with the other. Saves stress on the belts which some have had trouble with breaking. Got mine for $35. Works great. Nice article cause I’m a cheapo.

One word of warning for the HF setup. At least on mine, it has enough torque to run the tubs when they’re loaded, but it doesn’t have enough torque to start them when it is off. I turn mine on, then drop the tubs in, runs fine after that. However, if the unit loses power, it will not be able to start the rotation again, meaning the motor is on but not moving, and will likely heat up very quickly and/or burn out. Consequently, I only ever run mine when I’m home, I never leave it running when I go out.

The HF version works great, mine has paid for itself many times over. Running as I type cleaning up some 44 mag brass i picked up at an auction tonight. I’m by no means a high volume centerfire shooter, so the HF version is more than adequate for me, and beats the hell out of a vibratory tumbler.

This is just the kind of article that I would like to see more of. Both the author and editor made useful contributions. Well done.
