Where's the best place to buy a tumbler?
« on: February 08, 2014, 01:42:23 PM »
Found this online:  http://www.harborfreight.com/5-lb-metal-vibrator-tumbler-67617.html

On special at the moment seems cheap but I goth the shipping price from them and it's $80.

Is there anywhere local that sells something like this for under $150?

Just try your local firearms shop.

They should stock a Lyman tumbler which are a solid performer.  I bought mine many years ago and can't remember the price, but I think it was either at your limit or just under.

I bought mine off eBay years ago when no one had them except gun shops. I source my tumbler and media from - www.shooters.com.au

Just type in "tumbler" in the search bar.

I got my Lyman from a firearms shop. Under $100 with two bowls.
