Frankford Arsenal Rotary Tumbler and Accessories with Media Separator, Cleaning Essentials, For Brass Cleaning, Reloading, and Gunsmithing

These machines work great! It’s expensive but worth every penny! It’s loud but 7L capacity it’s to be expected! Comes with 5LBs of 304 SS Media, 2 FL OZ of liquid cleaning solution. Looks amazing on the bench with my other Frankford equipment! 10/10 highly recommend!

I purchased this unit for use with brass that I clean in my Frankford Arsenal wet/stainless steel pin media tumbler and I'm very happy with the product. It's built very nicely and works perfectly. The bottom of the unit has a built in screen to prevent the steel pins from being lost as you pour off the liquid and the top of the unit also has a built in screen (in the center of the top) that you can use to flush off the residual cleaning fluid from your brass by placing the brass in the upside down cover and then pouring clean water over the brass. The handle are a press fit into the sides of the brass containment basket and once inserted fit perfectly and snugly. The base has two molded positions for holding the containment basket. One slot enables you to open the basket to pour the cleaning solution, brass and steel pins into the basket and this position keeps the basket open and prevents it from rotating while you pour the water and brass into it. The second position enables the basket to fully turn as you turn the handles. The basket fits nicely into both molded slots. The rubber locking tab that holds the top and bottom of the brass basket closed is a very thick piece of rubber that is very sturdy and keeps the basket securely closed with no chance of it opening while you are spinning your brass. My only complaint about this product is that once you engage the rubber closing tab the top and bottom of the basket are closed very tightly together and it can be a bit difficult to open up again due to the fact that there is no tab or extension to grasp hold of. You have to gently insert either your finger nail or a knife blade between the seem where the top and bottom meet then gently pry it open. Some sort of plastic tab molded onto the top portion to grasp onto would've made opening the basket much easier. It's really not a big deal to me though, it's really just an annoyance. All in all it's a very nice unit and I'm very satisfied with it. It definitely makes processing much easier for the brass that I clean using the wet tumble process.

Using for separating brass and pins after wet tumbling. Only time this has not removed 100% of pins from the brass is when I’ve tumbled several different calibers together that can “nest” and trap pins. There is no rubber seal in between the upper and lower case halves, so expect some light water to splash out when tumbling. A lot of the older issues regarding the rubber latch on the rotator Shell appear to have been corrected, mine is easy to operate and holds well. And the mesh on the upper half works great for rinsing both brass and pins when done using.

I’ve been reloading for a while, and this separator has become one of the staple tools in my setup. Its design is straightforward: load your cases and media, turn it by hand, and gravity does the rest. It works just as you’d expect. Separating cases from media quickly and without fuss. What It Does Well: • Effective Media Separation: Handles corn cob, walnut husks, and stainless steel pins without issue. • Works Wet or Dry: I’ve used it both ways. Stainless pins are my go-to for a cleaner finish and less dust. • Simple & Efficient: Load it up, rotate, done. No need to overthink it. Things to Keep in Mind: • Build Quality: One of the plastic brackets that holds the rubber piece broke early on. It still works, but that’s a star off for durability. • Some Sticking: Occasionally, cases or pins get stuck and need to be shaken loose manually. Not a dealbreaker, but worth noting. • Dust Consideration: If you’re using dry media (especially walnut or corn cob), I highly recommend wearing an N100 or similar mask to avoid breathing in fine dust. Bottom Line: It’s not perfect, but for the price and how well it handles the job, it’s a solid addition to any reloader’s bench. With a little care, it’ll serve its purpose for a long time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ (4/5)

It's a little big, but works great. I stopped using vibrator and walnut shells for cleaning brass and moved to pins and tumbler, which I think works better. This works great to separate the pins from the brass. I consider it a must have. I don't know how well it would separate brass from walnut shells, but I guess it would work.

This is a bugey product and makes getting the media out of the brass easier. Works well.

Dont walk... Run out and buy this for separating your stainless steel pin media from your brass. Works wonderfully. Management of those pins can be loathsome but this makes it a snap and you will have the shiniest cleanest brass at the range and a smile upon your face from the ease at which you handle the doldrums of pin brass separation anxiety. With this... Your worries are over Dude and you can just go Bowling. -Yes, for the uninitiated, that was in fact a Big Lebowski reference

Great value over other brands. Separates media perfectly.

There is not much to review as the media sorter has been extensively reviewed online, and the product I recieved is as expected. It saves a huge amount of time not only separating cleaning media from casings, but also optimally removing water from washed casings prior to drying - speading up the overall process.

El producto llego en tiempo, vale mucho la pena y es muy practico. La verdad muy recomendable este producto y tiene un diseño muy padre

La separazione degli aghi in acciaio e bossoli è facilitata, ci sono troppe parti in plastica soprattutto la maniglia che svolge ruolo di forza, sperando non ceda nel tempo! Qualche parte in plastica in meno nei punti cruciali e di sforzo sarebbe ottimale!

Saubere Trennung von Hülsen, Wasser und Stahltiften. Auch die Verarbeitung und die Materialqualität sind solide. Bin rundum zufrieden.

Funciona perfectamente para separar vainas de pines, arena o suciedad…lo que utilices para limpiarlas. La única pega…el precio…ya que al fin y al cabo es plástico.
