Good choice

Review by Pilotfly

In the past all I have used is Lortone tumblers. Mine have all worn out and I have a ton of rocks yet to tumble and polish. So far this seems to be an excellent option to keep going. A bit noisy but it sits in my garage workshop so it isn't an issue. Only had this tumbler for a week -so far quite happy with it.

Well Built

Review by KC Cowgirl

I recently purchased this model after much research and disappointment of my purchase of a Highland Park 12 lb tumbler (what a disaster ~ returned to HP). For my second attempt I selected this model as it had many good reviews.

It seems robust and well designed. It arrived promptly and after a very simple motor installation it’s up and running next to my Lortone. I like the design and build and hope it lasts many years. It’s easy to use, clean and seems very durable.

The price point is very competitive in it’s market segment.

New favorite

Review by Baron

I also have a Thumbler B but while very similar in size and configuration it has better everything. Better quieter barrel , better lid fasteners , better motor , and much better bushings. A well thought out tumbler nicely tweaked to perform better.

One of the best for the price

Review by Zimmerthings

We love this tumbler. It is the second one we have purchased. Of all eight tumblers we have going 24-7 these two have given us zero issues. They are the quietest tumblers that we own. We'll worth the money.

Sloooooooooooooow

Review by Rbow

Very disappointed in this tumbler it turns at an incredibly slow speed. The amount of grit suggested is ridiculous and after 2 weeks of tumbling 70 percent is still left in the barrel.Would be quicker to just throw the rocks in the river and let nature do the work.

Rebel 17 Rock Tumbler

Review by LakeArrowEd

I’m really liking mine so far. I have 4 other brands and this machine is the mist well thought out and sturdy. The ingenious “Wrench” to snug the twist nuts in is great. It takes the best features of the mid sized Lortones and bigger Thumbler and combines tham into one nicely built, quiet and cool running machine at a very affordable price.

I love everything about this machine...it's a beast! Quiet, sturdy, compact, dependable, & a nice, long cord w/ on/off switch. Highly recommend the Rebel-17.

Best Deal Period

Review by Sasquatch

This thing is built like a tank. Love the black powder coat finish. Has all of the features of the Tumblers model B, and all the upgrades they should of put into theirs from the beginning. To include the pillow block ball bearings instead of the plastic bushings. The really nice plastic nuts instead of the cheap wing nuts. It also turns the drum at the perfect speed of 20 rpm. Then this one is almost a $100 cheaper. I'm thinking about buying a second one as I love it so much. Kingsley North shipped it same day too!

The capacity listed for tumblers is for identification only. With rock tumblers, you always want to go by barrel fill level. You want to keep it around 2/3 to 3/4 full at all times. This means on your 3rd and final step you will have to add filler like...

Check the product attachment tab on this page.

With the proper filler, you could polish a rock the size of an apple. The load weight is going to vary. It is better to go by volume. e.g. barrel 3/4 full.
