Review: This is a really good design and a quality build - I have been reloading for 30 years and still use my Thumbler vibrator that I bought 30 years ago. It works fine but I don't like the dust inside the brass and truthfully, it doesn't do squat for cleaning the primer pockets. I sprung for a Harbor Freight $40 and some stainless pins $25 and was really impressed with the way the brass looks. Clean inside and out, shinny and the primer pockets rarely need anything done to them. For small batches this works fine and I will continue to use it. So being newly retired, I am going to have more time for my hobby so I decided to spring for a bigger unit and was torn between the Franklin Arsenal and the Stainless Steel model. About $100 difference in price and I cannot say which is actually better but I decided to go with the Stainless Steel model. This thing weighs 31 pound shipping weight. Packaging is excellent. The motor and parts ship inside the drum so nothing to bang around. Easy to assemble. Parts bag includes an open end wrench and an allen wrench so you have everything you need. Also included was a spare belt and an extra shaft bearing and mount. To me that says a lot about the company. It is a good design and a quality build. The shaft retainers have two set screws. Most companies would have only used one so a nice touch. The hardest part of putting it together was adjusting the individual leveling feet but that could have been operator error. Not loud at all considering what it is doing and very little vibration. The motor does get quite warm but the instructions say, the motor gets hot and it was designed that way. Being anal, I may use one of my computer take out fans to blow a little air across. It may not actually help but it won't hurt. It does not leak a drop. Just hand tighten the know in a cross pattern like lug nuts on your car and you should be fine. Review: Great product and tremendous customer service. Got Rice? - After deciding it was time to upgrade from my Frankford Arsenal vibratory tumbler, I looked for a more versatile solution for cleaning my brass. Enter the Extreme Tumbler Rebel 17. It excels in that it has the flexibility of two cleaning methods: precision tumbling with Nishiki rice and steel pins for pistol or rifle brass where MOA is not the primary consideration. When wet tumbling, I use Meguiar’s Hybrid Ceramic Wash & Wax and Lemi Shine, along with 1/8" steel pins. The combination leaves my brass gleaming and free from residue. What can’t be ignored is how the steel pins clean the primer pockets or how quite the machine operates. The primary reason I chose the Rebel over Lyman, RCBS, or the F.A.R.T is that the Rebel is built with commodity parts. From upgraded bearings to enhanced feet, you have the freedom to tailor its performance to your exact needs. Prior to purchasing, I reached out to Extreme for clarification on some features, and their prompt response and thorough answers made the choice clear. Overall, my brass has never been cleaner. ## Features - 40 RPM High Speed Cleaning: High speed motor rotates the drum at approximately 40 RPM, delivering consistent agitation for efficient brass cleaning and polishing in about 3–4 hours per cycle. - Stainless Steel Construction: Built with stainless steel components and a high-strength powder-coated finish, including inside the drum, for corrosion resistance and long-term durability in demanding reloading setups. - 17 lb Capacity Drum: Designed to handle up to 17 lbs total capacity, ideal for cleaning approximately 2–4 lbs of brass per batch for efficient bulk case processing. - Heavy Duty Mechanical Design: Features 1/2" solid shafts, thick rubber rollers, sealed ball bearings, seamless drive belt, and dual motor support brackets for maximum stability and reliability. - Warranty Backed Performance: Includes a 3-year warranty on barrel, liner, and base unit plus a 1-year warranty on the high-speed motor for dependable long-term reloading performance. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00IOE5K5Y | | Age Range Description | 13-99 | | Barrel Material Type | Metal | | Best Sellers Rank | #191,366 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #103 in Tumbling Media | | Brand Name | Extreme Tumblers | | Caliber | 12.7 | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (351) | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 3 Years | | Frame Material Type | Metal | | Included Components | Tumbler | | Item Dimensions | 14.17 x 14.17 x 14.17 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 13"L x 9"W x 19.5"H | | Item Dimensions W x H | 14.17"W x 14.17"H | | Item Weight | 17 Pounds | | Key Product Features | 17 lb Capacity Drum: Designed to handle up to 17 lbs total capacity, ideal for cleaning approximately 2–4 lbs of brass per batch for efficient bulk case processing., 40 RPM High Speed Cleaning: High speed motor rotates the drum at approximately 40 RPM, delivering consistent agitation for efficient brass cleaning and polishing in about 3–4 hours per cycle., Heavy Duty Mechanical Design: Features 1/… | | List Price | 289.95 | | Manufacturer | Extreme Tumblers | | Manufacturer Part Number | 852667634858 | | Material Type | Metal | | Model Name | Rebel 17 | | Model Number | 852667634858 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Package Weight | 9.78 Kilograms | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash, Machine Wash | | Size | 1 Count (Pack of 1) | | Target Gender | Unisex | | Title | Extreme Tumblers Rebel 17 Ammo Brass Tumbler: 17 lb Commercial Grade Rotary Case Cleaner, Stainless Steel Drum, 40 RPM High Speed Unit for Ammo Reloading | | UPC | 852667634858 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Barrel Material Type:** Metal - **Brand:** Extreme Tumblers - **Caliber:** 12.7 - **Color:** Black - **Frame Material:** Metal - **Item Weight:** 17 Pounds - **Manufacturer:** Extreme Tumblers - **Model Name:** Rebel 17 - **Product Dimensions:** 13"L x 9"W x 19.5"H - **UPC:** 852667634858 ## Images ![Rebel 17 Ammo Brass Tumbler: 17 lb Commercial Grade Rotary Case Cleaner, Stainless Steel Drum, 40 RPM High Speed Unit for Ammo Reloading - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6159eGKU77L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Set** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Help!! I center my barrell on level ground and it keeps rolling against the rubber guard rail on the rollers. What can i do?** A: Either the ground or the unit is not level. Shim under one side until the barrel runs in the center. It is quite sensitive to any degree of tilt. Best small tumbler I have ever used and I have used several. **Q: What is the operating voltage? It states that the international model uses 220 but don't say if this is that model** A: The 220 is for the overseas market. Just order the 110. I just got mine and love it so far. **Q: How high is the tumber, inside cavity?** A: Without measuring it I am guessing about 8 inches. **Q: what is the weight of the drum including the lid? Thanks.** A: The weight of the drum and the lid is about 3 pounds. With a gallon of water in it the weight goes up accordingly plus the weight of what you are going to tumble. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a really good design and a quality build *by H***Y on May 8, 2018* I have been reloading for 30 years and still use my Thumbler vibrator that I bought 30 years ago.

The base is heavy duty, the bearings and pillow mount are sturdy and rotate smoothly. The only complain I have is the pulley on the base wobbles a little and it is made out of plastic and the motor is made in China. The barrel itself is bulletproof and is heavy empty so you know it is well built. I fill it up with water and ran it for 5 mins, no leaks. This is a great kit, it comes with 5 Lbs of steel media pins and cleaning solution. The pins alone retails for over $35. I recommend this tumbler. ## Frequently Bought Together - EXTREME TUMBLERS- Rebel 17 Tumbler Ammo Reloading Rotary Tumbler 110v - STM Stainless Tumbling Media - 5 lbs - Ammo Reloading/Cleaning/Polishing Supplies - Frankford Arsenal Media Transfer Magnet for Picking Up Stainless Steel Media While Reloading --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/11037594-rebel-17-ammo-brass-tumbler-17-lb-commercial-grade-rotary](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/11037594-rebel-17-ammo-brass-tumbler-17-lb-commercial-grade-rotary) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
